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

Planned Features

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

You can do that in the phpmyadmin => googlemap table

That's also something on the todo list to make the delete available in the backend.

I'm creating all these features for the hotspot edition.

Tis a shame it cant be the same maps used in Google Earth pmsl

I have a custom solution already and this extension is going to replace that.

Stony - You responded in my GoogleMap mod so incase you dont check back over their I figured I would post in yours... I noticed its gone to 2.0.1 now. Nice job. Only did mine cause I wanted hot spots, and you were tied up with the Xbox site. ( my 360 and GRAWF should be here tomorrow ) and then I decided against having the users post where they were from and adding locations them selves. More for me to monitor and such. But after you add the hotspots to your next version Ill add that back to my site to allower certain users ( bands and bars ) to post upcoming events since it has userpermissions as well. Thanks!

If you feel like working on the hotspot edition we can work something out.

You can always add me to you xbox friends list once you get on 360

You can do that even directly from http://www.xboxusersgroup.com if you want.
