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.

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

Updated from 2.5.1 (which was working perfectly) - however it won't run the CRON now - in AdminCP when trying to run the CRON I get:

Googlemap ME Cron
Cannot open XML File

All steps were done according to the PDF file instructions.

No markers are showing on the main map - however all previous entries are still listed out when you "List Users".


Please advise. Thanks!

Hello,

The only way I can simulate that problem is if I put the markers.xml file in read only

Please check if the file is set to 777 by using chmod.

Thanks

Please help

Can you try to test the query on a test database 'SET NAMES 'utf8';' in phpmyadmin.

Normally it should run fine. Otherwise please also check with your provider why running this isn't allowed.

What version are you running of Mysql.

installed and working great

I love this mod,

When I installed it, it worked for about 2 days, then suddenly... I lost all my markers and such. I have looked through the threads here, even moved over the newer code update files... but I still can't run the CRON, it gives me a few errors.

--- ERROR ---

Gogglemap ME Cron

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/truthin/public_html/vboard/global.php on line 241
--- END ERROR ---

I have double checked that the files are in those locations, the cronadmin.php is in the correct directory. And it has permissions of 777.

Is there something else I should focus on? :erm:

[Mellow]

When I click the list users, they all show up as administrators.. The map itself is correct and it seems the values in the admin cp are okay as far as the markers and the ugergroup ids and even the database/table values appear fine, but the list users screen just has everyone as an admin.
