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.

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

I got the map to mark my location no problem, but it wont let any other member on my forums mark their own location.

I made a test account from the same computer and it wont work. When i go to the admin account it works fine.

What do i do?

[TTG]

Map was working fine until yesterday and now all of a sudden when someone clicks on a marker, script error appears as a warning message in bottom toolbar and no markers work !?

Did you chmod the marker.xml to 777?
Got your googlemap ID from google properly placed in the vbulletion options/ googlemap area?
Anything "wrong" with your registered users permissions?? Something about your users not having the right permissions to post somwhere?
Have you tried disabling, or even removing, the vbgooglemap product, and reinstalling it?
Got those images uploaded to the images/buttons folder of every style?

Not sure if I can help you, but I got mine to work just fine. Usually these things are simple in nature, something that you overlook. I sometimes find that by reinstalling the product (and overwriting) fixes things.

If someone knew the answer they would have responded.
Not sure what is so unbelievable about waiting a few days for a response on a weekend.

Did you set the file permissions on the marker.xml file to 777 or 766?
