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.

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

Dear Ramires,
Go to Admin CP >> Vbgooglemap ME >> ME Usergroup marker and choose Edit this usergroup for each Group to set their color

[ramires]

i have this defined.
many times i ve changed this and try set other and other, but it seems that the markers are get from the Primary group (registered users) and even when i change my default and displayed group to other still got the same colour of marker

[ZeroHour]

This script only goes by the primary usergroup. My edition goes by display group as I hacked a fix into mine.
When you set the primary group remember you must run the cron job to recreate the markers.xml before the marker will change.

[ramires]

thx for advice, i ll try then will write about results.

i run the cron, change my group, and ... some positive results.
i ll try more later, then tell here about results

[ramires]

i am just wonder why this mod use the text files and dbase
i am thinking now about generating xml on fly by server to have always fresh data. this should be better than file markers.xml


edit:

about my problem, i ve hacked this script too
thx for all which trying to help me.

thats why i like this forum

[Rucki]

Hi,
here are problems with markers too.

But only in IE7!
On Firefox 2 all is working well.

The exact problem: No markers to see in IE, all markers in FF.

Any ideas?

Thx!
Rucki

--edit--
The errorcode from IE translated from german:

Line: 1044
Charakter:4
Error: dokumentElement is Null or no Objekt
Code: 0

[ramires]

FF even is better browser than IE, got better error handling and is less sensitive for errors.

your error can be cause of some mistype in adding the translation or something else.
try check that markers image (in user fields) are really absolute links to images. i was similar error but when i check every entrier made by users i found the "bad link to image" which cause the errors or not showing up the markers on map.

[Nubulin]

Hi! I'm having some trouble. I've followed the directions in the pdf file for a new install and everything seems to have installed fine, however, when you actually go to the map page all I get is a black white square where the map should be. Any help? You can find it here: http://www.adultinsider.com/vbgooglemapme.php I've checked everything, but maybe a file is in a wrong location or something?

[Sworm]

Hi,
why i can't see my marked location on the main map?

The others marks is showed on main map or i can't see only the mine?

**Installed**

For me no marker in firefox, no marker in IE.

anyBody can upload a fixed marker.xml?
