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.x brings you a lot of new features. It?s vital that you uninstall any previous version before upgrading/installing version 2.5.x.

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 3.0.0. 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

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

Upgraded for 3.6.0 thanx ..

[firstrebel]

I have a number of problems having upgraded to vB3.6 and this Googlemap ME version. From the attached image you can see all the side images are missing, and clicking on 'Properties' for each shows the same image for each panel: mm_20_.png

None of the markers are there, they are all black smudges.

There are also two vbgooglemapme.php files in the zip.

1. If you are using different styles make sure you install the images in that styles dir too
2. Before starting you have to set the color for each usergroup and configure what usergroup is to be shown in the legend

That should fix it for you

[firstrebel]

Excellent, thanks.

Best to check the thread on there.

Sorry, but I am getting the same problem and it causes some check boxes not to appear.
When I remove /includes/xml/bitfield_vbgooglemap.xml , that corrects the problem in forums home page options

I click run on the scheduled tasks, and this is what I get.

Done

[da420]

Is this one of these hacks that have been abandoned? Cause this is a wonderful hack, but without support, not everyone will get the chance to use it. I sure hope it's not one of those hacks.

.

I don't show the cron job in my scheduled tasks page. I do have it in the cron directory.

I also can't get the first entry to appear.
http://www.bronxroots.com/vbgooglemapme.php
But http://www.bronxroots.com/vbgooglemapme.php?do=list shows me.
Not meaning to hijack the thread.
In my marker file googlemapme/noimage.png

Edit: Added the cron job, still no entry.

I have this problem with other installs and in the hot spot edition.
Not to hijack this thread, in my marker file is show googlemapme/noimage.png

[Jayphen]

I want to make it so that only admins and registered users show in the legend, as all other groups cannot view the map.

I would also like to remove the 'image' part of the balloon - what is that for anyway??
