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

Great hack

I have a small miscolored section in the nav bar after the mapMe link

see the attachment

Also
The Support link for this hack points to the Hotspot thread

[basilrath]

set the auto approve to off it seems to work fine but obviously be aware of the nature of the additions to the map !

Please consider rewriting the "about" phrases so that they are in 3rd person as the USERS will see them. In my opinion its not appropriate to have admin info posted for the world to see. The members dont need or want to see what happens behind the curtain. You have already addressed the licensing to the admin when he/she downloaded and installed.

It would be helpful to add a line or 2 to the USERS about how to use the product.

StonyArv, sorry if you have already covered this... Love the Mod, but I can not get it to work yet... I dont see any of our usergroups even though we have set them to display and checked permissions.

Also... when running the cron on this we get...

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/httpd/vhosts/spinquad.com/httpdocs/forums/includes/adminfunctions.php:283) in /includes/cron/vbgooglemapme_cron.php on line 20

Done

Can you help, thank you!!

[photofreeway]

Hey nice work only one issue. I have the latest IE7 and VB3.6.4 and the main map does not show up? Anyone else getting this?

This is happing on the other map scripts also.
The small map works in the "Your entry" section....

I have read where the DIV needs to be under the google script?

Update: just uninstalled IE7 went down to 6 and still the same thing... Is this MOd still supported? Will it work with VB3.6.4?

Thanks

[darkdiver]
