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

Ok I'm at a loss. No matter what I try I can't get the pins to show up with the mouseover enabled.

I installed 3.0.1 today and did the missing marker fix in post 1697 and the only way I can get the pins to show up is to disable mouseover.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

[Sworm]

Will be release a vb4 version too?

[ckgreenman]

One more thing. Anyone know how to integrate Google latitude? I run a Sailing site and from time to time our users like to publish their passages in real time. It would be cool to allow them to post their position using Google Latitude.

That would be HUGE for us too. We are a fishing site and to enable our users to make posts about a specific lake they had visited lately would be a killer app.

From reading the PDF manual this has a Creative Commons 2.5 license.

So this cannot be used for any paid forums, is this correct?

[fulviods]
