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.

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

How i can fix the Problem with the Task manager?

"Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by...."

[ccunnin71]

This system is pretty cool! I have it working on my board but like many users I have seen in the post history I to suffer the following error...

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at .../forums/cron.php:59) in /includes/cron/vbgooglemapme_cron.php on line 20

Has anyone resolved this problem? It is hit or miss when it shows up.

Otherwise very good mod!

Hi,

I seen a few posts about same problem I am having but it seemed they dropped off.

I just loaded the program and all went fine until I tried to click on one of the maps from the admincp section and got the following error.

No Elements available

I really like this mod and want it to work on my site so please if someone can help me out I'd appreciate it.

Thanks
Will

To which folder must the File "vbgooglemapme deutsch.xml" copied? It seems no valid Plugin-File, because I get the an Error on import.

My map has stopped working. Google is saying the key is wrong:

http://forums.finalgear.com/vbgooglemapme.php

But it isn't. I just generated it again and pasted it in and it still doesn't work.

Hi guys, after long watching why the markers doesnt show i went to conclusion that something is affecting the page to show the markers.
So i tried to remove things from the page and finally i managed to Show the map correctly including the markers and all the rest info.
The thing i did is going to my templates and i edited the VBGOOGLEMAPME template by removing the $footer in the end of the file.

I still doesnt know why the footer does the tricks (i try now to remove elements from footer) to the Addon but honestly im damn happy that all working fine.. i suppose some hack or addon interfears with the API or something simillar.

The same trick for me worked for the HotSpot Edition also and the only problem i have now in both addons is the if you add Greek things in your Entry they show in the map as Japanese... well i suppose i can leave with this for a bit of time.

I hope i helped some people.
