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 cron is the scheduled task you added. You can also edit "your entry" and don't forget to click save

did you try another browser?

Julien,

Did that work out for you.?

[stonyarc]

Julien,

You have to upload the images to all the styles you have running.

Also you are running 2.5.2 please run version 3.0.1 which can be downloaded now.

What do you mean ?

I've uploaded my images on my server.



I will try the last version.

[Julrou]

I've tried the lastest version of the googlemap (v. 3.0.1), but nothing happened.

I've configured it well, sure.

It's seem complicated, huh ?

[stonyarc]

The markers.xml is correct.

Did you set the autoapprove setting correctly otherwise you need to approve the markers in admincp.

Please check if your images are in your style

Thks for your help.

If you have a custom style that has images in a different dir then your default vbulletin style you'll have to upload.

I don't see javascript errors on your site. There is no other reason why it shouldn't display
