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

It's input manually - it will make a mini-map where you can zoom and pan to get to where you want to make the marker.

[ATVTorture]

OK, found that and made the change. However, the markers still do not show.

What the heck?!?!?!

Has anyone tried vbGoogleMap in vBulletin 4.0?

At first sight, it does not look like much trouble, but it does have to access the database and check members' usergroups.

[SEW810]

Thnx.
Working just fine in vb 3.8.4

It would be nice if members could post more than 1 location (markers)

[ATVTorture]

Does anybody know of something like this that allows a user to submit mulitple location. I know there was the hotspot edition, which would be great. But it is no longer downloadable.

[Zylantex]

I have downloaded and installed, with great care I might add, but I see nothing on the AdminCp > vbGooglemap ME > ME Full View.
I just get "No Elements available [ Return to previous page ]".

I get the feeling I have missed something really obvious.
Any clues, hints etc would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Running 3.8.4 PL2

yeah fails miserably.

I've been so busy fixing other problems in vb4 that I haven't even messed with this one yet.

If I ever get adventurous I migth try my hand at converting it. But for now I'm stuck.
