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.

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

stonyarc...can i ask a silly question lol i know i just did but really...
lets say i don't use super mods (cuz i don't) is there a way to change that pin name and usergroup to something else? like event? or would i have to change the usergroup to a useage at all? i guess i would seeing as there are no supermods....well unless i add myself to it....but that would interfere with my location right?
do you understand what i want to do? think there is a way to do it? i don't want to have 2 googlemaps...
guess i could set up another dummy user lol so to speak....
You could that in code but that would seriously compromise your ability to upgrade to any of the upcoming versions.
sorry to be a pain http://www.speakout.biz/forum/vbgooglemap.php
it doesnt seem to want to come up for me. permission problems? it should be, because i have admins allowed to see teh map.
