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

not exactly, a number of users have issues with 3.7. There are fixes in the thread though.

[Keev]

Anyone else get this error after having it work for over a year? Then all of a sudden I get "Cannot open XML File" any idea what went haywire and needs to be tweaked or fixed?

[ShackMaster]

Wonder what it would take to add "Street View"... those are cool.

Hallo, wir haben das Problem, das nach irgendeinem VB update die googlemap nicht mehr "richtig" funktioniert.

Die Karte wird angezeigt:

http://www.meisterkuehler.de/forum/vbgooglemapme.php

aber komplett ohne Sticker !!!

In der Datenbank sind aber ?ber 200 Mitglieder eingetragen:

http://www.meisterkuehler.de/forum/v...me.php?do=list

und kein Sticker wird angezeigt.

Frage: was k?nnen wir testen oder wo k?nnen wir suchen ?

Hello!
We've got a broblem with our googlemap. After upgrading it doesn't work in a proper mode any more.
The map is shown as follows (click the link, please):

All the pins are completly missing.

The database includes more than 200 items.

Question: What can we do to fix our problem or where can we try to find a solution?
Maybe you can help.

Thanks for supporting us.

I've installed and have it working on a 3.7.2 forums without any problems but mine looks different as the one form the demo link in the first post. The one from the demo is not default?

[Rend Sever]

The Show on map links aren't zooming in to the proper pins, the map simply sits at the default lat/long.

Any insight?
