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.

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

Each user has to manually add the entry for their location by clicking "Your Entry" when in the Google Map page.
Also, You either need to turn Auto Approve in the ACP settings on, or check your Unapproved Log and approve the entrys.

PROBLEM: If the username contains an apostrophie (') the user gets a database error (MySQL) and cannot access/use the map.

Has anyone found a fix for this prolem???

I sent a PM to StoneyArc and have not even received an acknowledgement.

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated!!!

NEW PROBLEM!

Getting a error when the map page is displayed now:

Line: 9

Character: 53

Error: Invalid Argument

Code: 0

URL: vbgooglemapme.php

This problem appears to be limited to Internet Explorer... I have reports of FireFox working normally.

I have 92 pins on my map, IE will load 90 pins then give this error. The map will display 90 of the 92 pins as well as the dashboard will show 90 of 92 loaded.

Is there a code issue in the vbgooglemapme.php file that needs to be adjusted???

HELP!

***** UPDATE *****

DISREGARD!!! I found the problem, I had a user enter his own coordinates instead of clicking on the map to set his marker. When he entered the coordinates, he used N & W letters instead of the proper way of entering the coordinated for Googlemaps... The program didn't know how to handle these "weird" coordinates... I changed them to the standard format and now it works!

[stonyarc]

I'll be releasing a new version later on today.

included fixes:

- cron error
- bitfield error
- single quote on insert

A new major new release is also in the making.

Sorry about my absence been extremely busy working on the new version of xboxusersgroup.com which is currently live.

[stonyarc]

Version 2.5.2 is now online

Hope this fixes some of the issues (bitfield, ' insert on username, ...)

Major new release in about a month.

In FTP, where depends on your FTP client, might want to check your FTP clients documentation.
