INSTALL

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.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

Hello,

How can i install the German Language?

[Woodstock23]

hello,
i have a few questions

1. where can i find the copyright in the files? i need to restyle it a bit so it fits better to my current style (i will not remove it or something else)

2. how can i install the german language file

and 3. in my navbar i have the link "Googlemap ME" and my question is how can i change the name of this link in Map or something else?

thanks a lot, and the mod is great and works perfect.

[lpetrich]

1. You can search for the copyright text in the files; I'm sure that it's hardcoded somewhere in them. If you can find it, you may be able to find what styling gets applied to it and change it.

2. I think that you can install the German-language file with the Language Manager. It's in Languages & Phrases in the AdminCP.

3. You change "Googlemap ME" to "Google Map" or "Map" in your template edits.

Run this Mod on vB 3.8.2 ?
Problem: Member with rights cannot change entry.

Ditto here! Working FINE on a clean, fresh install of 3.8.1! Thx to all for posted corrections i have yet to accomplish, what follows is my admittedly rather hastily compiled collection of READING NOTES (to make "heads or tails" out of @ own peril!):

www.vbulletin.org vBGooglemap Member Edition

"Location" in postbit

Insert avatar cron script and let the displaygroupid determine the map pin color

problem: only zooms to 10

"return here" phrase correction

dhtml member menu in postbit

img breaks load (just disable) no zoom on detail still

the ability to upload multiple waypoints?

I see were Google added a new Marker Manager Control!
This will allow you to reduce the markers as needed with zoom levels.

$smallmapcontrol = (fix?)

is there some way to set 5 location per user ?

IMG MARKER FIX

Some feature requests / proposals:
Mousewheel zooming
Mousing over only pops up usernames instead of full-scale info balloons
Ability to select terrain

ZOOM?

To fix this SET NAMES error (to choose "Terrain" as a default map type: NEXT POST)

a single user that can add multiple links on there(?)

CORRECTIONS ZIP?

Is anyone else here willing to tell us their experiences with vbGoogleMap on 3.8.0 or 3.8.1?

Stonyarc, thx for a great base concept which i plan on major modding to better suit my needs! If ya spent all yer time "supporting" endusers many of whom cannot even READ let alone CODE no new MODS would ever get written and we'd all be SOL!

This very long thread, as usual, was a nightmare to wade thru and while I did not find what I was looking for am still NOT SORRY INDEED!
