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

- 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

lets say i don't use super mods (cuz i don't) is there a way to change that pin name and usergroup to something else? like event? or would i have to change the usergroup to a useage at all? i guess i would seeing as there are no supermods....well unless i add myself to it....but that would interfere with my location right?

do you understand what i want to do? think there is a way to do it? i don't want to have 2 googlemaps...

guess i could set up another dummy user lol so to speak....

You could that in code but that would seriously compromise your ability to upgrade to any of the upcoming versions.

Restart your browser to test fully

First load is a bit slow but it loads fine on IExplorer 6, 7 and firefox 1.5.0.1

Try clearing your cache and History in FF then restart FF

Can someone else please click

http://www.speakout.biz/forum/vbgooglemap.php

And tell us if you see the map and markers?

Your defaults for the usergroup permissions are YES so if you change it the admin can't see it.

Do you get a no permission or just the page but without map?
