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)

- 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

I just changed that code to your new code, then re-uploaded that file and I'm still having the same problem.

Do I need to change anything else before your new code will take effect, or is uploading the changed file all I need to do?

Thanks again.

That is it... I would also check all of your "old" members PIMIDs to make sure someone didn't "update" their pin with something that broke the code...

As much as I hate to admit it.... your last post has me lost. Could you explain in a bit more detail what this means, please? (sorry for being stupid )

What is a PMID?


Thanks again for all your time and help.

I'm sorry, was thinking of a different plugin. I would check anyone who has a pin to make sure they don't have any weird characters in their pin text or PIMAGE. Even someone who has had a pin up for a while may have recently updated their info and screwed it up...

After updating the code and still having the same problem I decided to walk away from it for a while. However, I just checked it again and it seems to be working now. I have no idea why it wasn't working earlier but I have my fingers crossed it will be fine now. Is it possible that the scheduled "cron" task had to re-update before the change took effect?

Either way..... it works now!

Thanks again.

Glad you got it working!

Hello,

First of all, I would like to thank those of you here that have contributed answers and help to the less computer savy people like me.

On that note, I was wondering if anyone has figured out or knows how to fix the apostrophe issue that takes place as quoted above?


Thank you in advance

Vb 3.8.1

Has anyone found the solution?
