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.

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

Its ok Guy's got it working now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

For thoes running a windows enviroment.
You need to add Everybody and make it read/write, You dont need execute. This is at the file level, not IIS level.


Great Mod

[Desworks]

I installed is using the instructions in the pdf. But no matter what I do under ME Full view & ME unapproved view show this in the admin panel:

No Elements available [ Return to previous page ]

[Greek Wizard]

I have this working fine, but when i changed over a registered user to a Super Moderator, his pin did not change color.

I have registered users as blue and super Mod as Green, and Admins as red.

the blue and red work fine, but no matter what color I make the super mod, it does not change.

i even tried to manually cron and update user ranks in maintenance and still nothing.

Any ideas?

[Greek Wizard]

Also, i am now starting to see apostrophes and slashes where I should not.

Seems to be like a php "Magic Quote" issue I seen a while back on something else.

I see the author has released a new hack, but yet does not support this one anymore.

That's probably because the value in the table hasn't changed.

In the next version this will work completely different.

I told a while ago that I'm working on the new version so changes in this one are a bit userless as the new version is progressing quite nicely.

I do have a lot to do.

Demanding support like you do feels a bit like a personal attack

Are there markers in the table ? or in the xml file?
