INSTALL

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.

Changes in this version

SEE FIRST POST FOR FULL ROADMAP AND HISTORY

Planned Features
- TBD

Volume warning

high volume of users may slow down the load. Currently a load counter is included.

Thanks to Wachtmeister there is a German translation available to you all. Feel free to use it.

The translation will be updated on each new version.

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

Only the marker colours for moderators show as normal members. Marker colour ok for admins.

Yes, I noticed this as well. All my moderators are Super Mods, if that makes a difference.

trancetopia · #**174** 11-07-2005, 10:03 PM

I'm the same as you ConqSoft, all my mods are supermods. I'm going to have a look at the code to see if I can find anything.

trancetopia · #**175** 11-07-2005, 10:12 PM

Ok here is what you need to do. In VBGooglemap.php

This is assuming your supermod group is 5

Find:

Code:

if (($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==6)OR($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==7))

Replace With

Code:

(($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==5)OR($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==6)OR($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==7))

Next, in your markers.xml file you need to edit your entries and change the type of each marker to yellow for all you supermods.

Upload and that should fix it

Everything is correct except the last part.

The marker is constructed by the script on load (for now).
So you don't need to edit it. The usergroup is inserted in the googlemap table in the database so next time the map is fully reloaded the marker colour will be changed.

For the markers you probably have a users with some bad characters in his text (you could check the googlemap table for that)

I'll release a version update later on today.

1. Great! thanks for the fully phrased version!!! multi-language is the way to go!!

2. hmm... just tested with id with no special characters but still not showing any markers.

me very sad.

plus my "current users" field is always blank. dunno if that's related.

any ideas?

stonyarc · #**178** 11-08-2005, 04:39 AM

GrendelK

It's a dataerror.

IE is handeling this a lot worse than Firefox.

I send you a pm that should fix it.

getting this error msg (although the map works fine)

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /home/trevor/public_html/forums/includes/vba_cmps_include_template.php on line 9

code its reffering to

Code:

$phrasegroups = array_merge($phrasegroups,
	array(
		'calendar',
		'adv_portal',
		'postbit'
	)

would adding vbgooglemap to that fix it or would that affect otehr parts of the forum?

That might do the trick to fix the portal integration. Make sure your download the latest version to. I just updated the files on 1.0.2 too.
