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

Special

- Read the attached PDF for more information. The pdf is also included in the zip file.

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

Yes, the hack is wonderful, but i can't see the text under the username in the PopUp.
And yes, there is an input. :nervous:
I think that's an individual styleprob. :tired:

Click here to see a snapshot of what I am talking about

I am running version 1.0.3, btw

Right click where the buttons should be and view the location properties. Your images are not in the right directory on your server. Unlike IE which displays red X's for missing images Firefox displays nothing when the image is missing (if you don't have an "alt" tag for the image)

Harry,

Look for the template VBGooglemap_display_map

Look for:

var content = "<div align=\"center\"><strong>"+title +"</strong></div>" + "<hr width=\"100\"/><div align=\"left\" style=\"width: 20em\">" + text +"</div>";

replace by

var content = "<div align=\"center\"><strong>"+title +"</strong></div>" + "<hr width=\"100\"/><div align=\"left\" style=\"width: 20em;color:#000000\">" + text +"</div>";

color:#000000 can be set to the color you want.

If u are not using the Original vB-Style, you must place the buttons in every styledirectory (/buttons). I did the same. :nervous:

Thanks Harry,

That worked! One problem. Markers not showing up after entry. Is there a trick?
