Current Features



NOTE:
VBGooglemap 3.0.0 contains the vulnerability fix. Please upgrade immediately. Version 3.0.0. also contains all features from 2.5.X

As always you use modifications at your own risk.

VBGooglemap Member Edition 2.5.1 brings you a lot of new features. It?s vital that you uninstall any previous version before upgrading/installing version 2.5.1.

Upgrading from version 2.5.0 is easier. Instruction are available in the guide.

As the uninstall function will not remove your googlemap data in the database but only the templates and files you can safely remove an older version. As a precaution you should always take a backup. This should be done on each major change you make to your bulletin board.

IF YOU ARE RUNNING VERSION 1.0.3, 2.0.X AND YOU CHANGED TEXT DIRECTLY IN THE TEMPLATES YOU NEED TO SAVE YOUR CHANGES AS VERSION 2.5.0 REQUIRES YOU TO UINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS.

This has taken quite some work and still will take a lot more. Please give credit where credit is due. You cannot remove any notice without prior written permission.

Special

- Read the attached PDF for more information. The pdf is also included in the zip file.
- You'll need a googlemap key for your domain. Get your own key for your domain view http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html for more information.
A googlemap key is only valid for a specific domain. You'll need a specific google account to create one.
All is explained on the googlemap link indicated above.
- Set the file permissions on the marker.xml file to 777
- The googlemap script can handle non-registered users. They will only see the main map and won't be able to enter information. This is reserved for logged in users (detected automatically)
- usergroup permissions are available in the backend
- To change location just drag the map while holding the left mouse key or by using the zoom and key functions on the left
- First time loading of the map may take a few seconds longer because of Google API hosting

Make sure to set all the usergroup permissions.

You can also hide certain groups from the legend.

i really hate to be a pain, but this is so close to being 100% the other user that's not showing up is actually a member of the same usergroup as i am. he's another admin. that's why i can't figure why one shows up and the other does not

I see 2 users both admins jerseymutt and you in the markers.xml and on the map.

[Dr.Viggy]

Please check the location where you have put it.

I'll check the code if there are any issues

[Dr.Viggy]

it's gotta be in the right place since it works for me right?

Just uninstalled my old version of this hack and installed the latest version. All is well except I do not have the control panel for the hack in the usergroups menu. So I can make all the settings but I cannot set it so I or anyone else can see the map.

I realise I have probably missed something stupid but I cannot see what it is. I am going to upgrade the HSE version as well but want to get this right first.

Thanks in advance.

Please make sure you upload all files in the upload directory and overwrite any existing files.

Also do a full refresh of the FULL browser. admincp is a frames page.

I've done that again and the menu is now there in the usergroups manager but when I change the settings to show the map it says the update was succesfull but the followinf message also flashes up above that

Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/class_core.php on line 666

When I go back into the usergroup the settings are still all set to No.
