HOTSPOT EDITION AVAILABLE ON : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114149
Detailed installation instructions and screenshots in the included pdf file.

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

Hmmm- thanx for the share ZEROHOUR - I made the edits but I don't have a vBGoogle Member Map cron in scheduled tasks - can you upload that file please?

Run the scheduled task and your markers should return.
Basically I have modified the code to replace things like "&" with the xml safe "&" so no matter what anyone enters for the fields the xml should still be safe.

More tweaks to come including integration of the display groups being marker colour.

Unfortunately no change on 3.6.8 - markers don't show up

PoetJA-1975: If you take a look at the mod install instructions it should tell you what to do.

Johon: whats your map url so I can take a look? you can PM me the details if you want.

Thanx ZEROHOUR - but after adding/running the cron - still no changes - markers still aren't showing up... I'm using vB 3.6.8 PL2 and the url is http://jpicforum.info/vbgooglemapme.php

Thanx for any help - will love to have the Member Map working again!

Jacquii.

[ZeroHour]

Poet and Johon: It looks like you both have the same problem possibly. The strange thing is I downloaded your markers.xml and uploaded them to my site and the markers loaded implying that it was a valid xml file.
Going to have a think of what could be causing the issue.

[PoetJA-1975]

Hmmmm - I do thank you for taking the time to check!
Really appreciate your help on this = Thanx!
