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

- 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

Sorry, fellas, plans have changed. I just had a second hack where code was ripped and re-released. I don't feel like coding for someone else's future release.

[cbt13]

It works for me but there is a problem. When a guest clicks "Your entry" link to add his or her own marker, it gives the error "Invalid Page Specified". This error is just for guests. Members dont have any problems. How can I solve this problem?

P.S: I've already editted the permissions. But still same problem.

[cbt13]

Any help?

Hello,
I've seen many can't see their pin on the map. It's the case for me too.

I wonder if the problem is what say these error messages:
In the include path there is a "/./" that does not seem ok...
What do you think ?
Maybe a file to edit ?

Hello

A Mod of me has the following problem.
He does not see only the page, the card and the markers being published at the call of the Map.

Attachment 83330

Everyone sees everything other Users / Mods.
There is the problem also after update on 3.7.2 since vB 3.7.0. The Mod used FF1.8, then FF 2.0.0.14 and now FF3, always the same problem.
Is it due to the vB, due to the Map or due to what ?
What I can do, or him, so that the card is shown to markers again with this ?

*The answers are welcome also in German to be, my English is very bad.

[Rottimom]

Hello

New information.
The user gets the following error messages in the fault console of the FF3:

Attachment 83400

I also get these error messages in the fault console of the FF3, apart from the red ones with the cross. So should it to the lies, only what is not here correct with the user?

[Rottimom]

I find it this sadly one gets no help here.

[Shazz]

Will you propose a 3.7 workly version ?

[Brady1505]

Hi,
maybe someone reads this.
I know, the Script is for version 3.6, but it works also on 3.7.2.
There is only one error that comes up, when starting vbgooglemap.

Wrong datatype for second argument in [path]/includes/init.php(293) : eval()'d code (Zeile 3)

Does anyone know, how to get rid of this error?
The map is shown, but I have this text at the top of the page.

Thank you.

Brady
