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

I have uploaded all files, chmod markers.xml and when adding a new marker I get the following.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction!

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.2:

Invalid SQL:
SET NAMES 'utf8';

MySQL Error  : Unknown system variable 'NAMES'

If Im not mistaken that means that youre using a too old MySql version.

[PondPikey]

Thats what I thought. So I spoke to my host who confirmed its currently running SQL 4.1.22

So, as far as I know, this should work ok. I have installed, uninstalled. Im now at a loss. A real real shame. I loved this mod, shame I cant get it to work.

Ill have to click uninstall

Hi, I am trying to install this and have a stumbling block. I have the pdf instructions up and I can't figure out this step.

#7 Adding the link to the navbar.
I copied the version for only registered users at the very bottom of the navbar template. The instructions don't specify WHERE in the template this bit should be added in so I put it at the very bottom after all the normal stuff.

I have never edited a template before and am a little nervous.

[PondPikey]

I wouldnt bother. Most people have given up on this mod as there is precisely zero support, once you run into a problem your pretty much on your own.

Id Go with the google map API integration.

Thank you!
