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.

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

Edit: When did you release it? Last time I checked we got 2.0.0 and that was 2 minutes ago!


One quick question: Am I now able to change the filename without breaking everything?

2.0.1 is on right now.

In what way do you want to change the filename?

I checked and it was running on your website.

I haven't been able to identify the problem on vba.

I need to install it on my test server. In the code I don't see anything that might be causing that problem except maybe the window.onload javascript.

Do you have any other image maps running on your vba site????

As indicated in the PDF you may need to revert the templates.

The templates to revert are included in the list.

It's indicated in very big RED letters

as for you map key: as indicated in the PDF you may need to re-enter it in the options

stonyarc,

It works now.

New problem: I changed the zoom setting in admin 3, but it is still stuck at 1 on the map.

Where do we put the code again so the username links to profile page?
