INSTALL

HOTSPOT EDITION AVAILABLE ON : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114149
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.

Changes in this version

Thanks to Wachtmeister there is a German translation available to you all. Feel free to use it.

The translation will be updated on each new version.

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

The DIV where the googlemap loads is called "map".

You can get this effect if you have an image map loading on your site with the same name.

Code:

<map name="Map">
  <area shape="rect" coords="449,3,789,99" href="http://www.refrigeration-engineer.com/jobs" target="_blank">
</map>

In combination with this

Code:

<img src="http://www.refrigeration-engineer.com/forums/images/misc/head/banner.jpg" width="789" height="100" border="0" usemap="#Map">

That line is the cause

To fix

Code:

<map name="Map1">
  <area shape="rect" coords="449,3,789,99" href="http://www.refrigeration-engineer.com/jobs" target="_blank">
</map>

In combination with this

Code:

<img src="http://www.refrigeration-engineer.com/forums/images/misc/head/banner.jpg" width="789" height="100" border="0" usemap="#Map1">

This should help you out

The version 2.0.2 stores the markers locally so you can even create your own markers as long as you respect the filenames.

So I can replace the default map with a custom made map? Because that's exactly what I saw in that other user's board.

You can change the default view standard in code but additionally the vbgooglemap also lets you create your own marker images if you want (/images/googlemap)

The core map remains the same and is of course google technology.

Dez_U · #**978** 04-23-2006, 02:22 PM

maybe this is the problem, I have looked in FORUMHOME and all the googlemap templates and I canny see the above code you speak of ..... mmmm, any help please?

sinucello · #**979** 04-23-2006, 02:43 PM

Hi stonyarc,

great extension, my forum-members love it ;-).

One remark:
a lot of the users try to enter their coordinates directly and use the wrong strings with the degree chars like: 47.6833 / 47° 40' 60

Then I get error-mails:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO googlemap (userid,username,usergroupid,text_map,lat_map,lng_ map) VALUES ('1120','testuser','2','Testuser','47.6833 / 47° 40' 60'' ...','9.83333 / 9° 49' 60''');

Would it be possible to check the form for degree chars with JavaScript when the forum is submitted?

I also need a filter-feature that would allow the user to show only the markers of a certain usergroup. Is that possible? I`d sponsor this one, just drop me a line.

groetjes,
Sacha

Hi,

I just updated the smallhelp phrase in german, maybe it`s useful for someone else

Quote:

Ermittle den L?ngen- und Breitengrad deines Wohnortes durch Vergr?sserung (zum Vergr?ssern einfach den Schieber auf der Skala nach oben bewegen und ggf. in die Satellitenansicht wechseln) und hin- un herziehen der Karte mit gedr?ckter linker Maustaste. Ein DOPPELKLICK zentriert die Karte punktgenau z. B. auf deinem Wohnhaus. Nach Eingabe der richtigen Koordinaten brauchst du nur noch das Textfeld auszuf?llen und auf "Aktualisieren" zu klicken. M?glicherweise ist es wesentlich einfacher, wenn du die Koordinaten deines Wohnortes hier: http://www.fallingrain.com/world/GM/ heraussuchst und direkt in die Eingabefelder links einf?gst. Dabei aber bitte beachten, dass immer nur der erste Wert eintragen wird. Also bei L?ngengrad z. B. "9.83333" und bei Breitengrad z. B. "47.6833".

I think this link: http://www.fallingrain.com/world/ could be added to the original phrase as it contains all coordinates of all towns worldwide (don`t know if it`s really true).

Ciao,
Sacha

Great find.
