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

I think you are right, i have the same problem

[chariotdriver]

I'm having a similiar problem with markers not showing up.
I can see the individual markers for that member only in the "List Users" and then the edit link for that member.
I cannot see anyone in the main map area at all.
Any ideas as where to start looking for this?
Thanks,
Phil

[towermatt]

have you browsed out to your markers.xml file and seen if any of the images are broken?

They should show up red.

Please check if the file is set to 777 by using chmod.

Thanks

Do you remove the old cron tast above or leave it??

Don't Install This MOD. No support from Coder.

There is nothing wrong with this mod. I have both upgraded and new installed and it worked with no problem.

There's a problem.
If you don't know, you don't speak.


And this problem is soooo long to be solved.....

[mhc1576]

Well Julrou,

Have you copied the images to your styles eg. /images/googlemapme/*. *must exist also in /style/googlemapme/*. *

You also have to edit ALL Usergroup marker and save them with a color if that should not be the case.

If you want your error solved you have to provide more info since your problem is not this mod but something in you setup.

I also remember when I first used this an did the translation I missed some phrase and had problems with the map displaying.

Start with english and default style, does it work?

Were you able to find a workaround for this? I have Highslide installed as well, and no more markers for me.
