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

Fix:

Centers an image in the info balloon's "Image" tab. If the image is larger than the maximum allowed size in either direction, then it will be rescaled to fit.

In product-vbgooglemapme.xml

Line 550:
var content2 = "<img width=\"$gmimagemax\" border=\"0\" src=\""+pimage+"\"></a>";
to
var content2 = "<img style=\"max-width: {$gmimagemax}px; max-height: {$gmimagemax}px; display: block; text-align: center; margin: auto; vertical-align:middle\" src=\""+pimage+"\">";

My google map in the last few weeks has gone blank, no names are displayed at all, And I dont even know where to start from. My map is located at http://www.snowandmud.com/forum/vbgo...hp?do=showmain

rknight111, have you tried ZeroHour's fix for writing markers.xml? The existing code is likely writing stuff that an XML parser will gag on as not proper XML.

Hello,

I have just installed this on my forum and it looks great so far. However, I'm having a problem when I try to manually run the cron from the scheduled task manager within the admin CP. this is the error I get.....

Warning: main(********/forum/includes/cron/vbgooglemapme_cron.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admincp/cronadmin.php on line 110

Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening '*******/forum/includes/cron/vbgooglemapme_cron.php' for inclusion (include_path='/usr/lib/php:.:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php') in /admincp/cronadmin.php on line 110

Any ideas what I need to fix?

Thanks in advance.



Edit: Disregard! I found my problem. I forgot to upload vbgooglemapme_cron.php into includes/cron.

Thank you!

I am having an interesting problem with this app. I installed it about 2 weeks ago and it worked great. Just today when I logged in none of the members locations are showing on the map. If you look at the member list they are still listed, but none of the pins or anything are loading on the map. It used to have the "Load: X of X" in the upper right, now it just says "Load:" with nothing behind it.

Any clue as to what happened? No settings or anything have been messed with since it was installed.

I think you will find this problem has been discussed in previous posts - you will need to search for it (I don't have the time to search and do not recall the solution)
