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 appears there is a name conflict.

I *think* it's because he's got the same name "customadminperms" as settings for both editions. I altered the administrator table and added customadminmeperms as settings and I reflected the name change in the includes/bitfield_vbgooglemam.xml and no more error.

don't go and to the same until someone says it's ok :-)

Hi,

how do i install the vbgooglemapme_deutsch.xml for german translation?

[Skedoozy]

The only Zoom setting that seems to work is what you set as Default. I've changed the zoom level for when you click a link to someones location and it just goes tot he default map. It doesnt zoom in, even though I have that set to zoom level 6, or even center on their location.

Other than that it's working wonderfully. Any help with the problem?

Daylight,

Don't forget to check the autoapprove settings, the usergroup settings and configure which usergroups you want to appear.

I just upgraded to 2.5.2, thanks for your hard work.

One note, I have many secondary usergroups and I choose to only show about 4 groups on the map page but whenever I install or update the hack it has all markers set to display by default so I must edit each one, one by one. Would it be possible in future versions for it not to revert those settings or to have all markers set to not display by default?

I also still have the problem where clicking on the user's link $post[findme]just brings me to the main map page and not specifically to the users location. The same thing happens when I list the users then click 'show on map'
