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.

Languages

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

Special Xbox Live version

Is there an easy way to make this so only logged in users can see it?

stonyarc · #**383** 11-25-2005, 12:56 PM

It's indicated in the installer file

Quote:

6. add a link in the navbar template to VBGooglemap.php (depends if you want users to see it and when)

If you want only registered to see it

Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid']">
<td class="vbmenu_control">
<a href="VBGooglemap.php">$vbphrase[googlemap]</a></td>
</if>

If you want everyone to see it

Code:

<td class="vbmenu_control">
<a href="VBGooglemap.php">$vbphrase[googlemap]</a></td>

Yes I saw that, but its no good if they already know the link to the page. Can it be made so the "you dont have permission" screen shows up instead?

That will be included in the next version

This is covered by the custom usergrouppermission I added.

This version is currently in dev.

nexus851 · #**386** 11-26-2005, 09:34 AM

My markers are not updating...

It sometimes update but most times it won't... Even after clearing cache and refresing page or reopening, it still doesnt show markers....

I followed every instructions and set permissions correctly.. so can be the problem???????

edited: I realized the problem... My "snow effect" module is causing it not to work... does anyone or the makers know how to put in a few codes to make it work with the "snow effect" module?????

Here is the header template that has the "snow effect codes" (only 1 template edit)

Very cool mod. I can't wait until my users use start using it.
Can I remove the link to xboxusers but keep the xbox text?

ThePimp · #**388** 11-27-2005, 03:13 AM

Markers aren't updating for me either. markers.xml is set to 777, and installed exactly as instructions outlined.

Any idea on how to fix this?

I added my info, and saved it, then checked markers.xml and it didn't add it to the file.

steven s · #**389** 11-27-2005, 11:16 AM

Mine installed with zero problems.
Are you sure you have the markers.xml file in the same directory as vB?

It has to be in the same dir as the VBGooglemap.php
