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

No, it doesn't work like that. I wish it did. I also wish it could automatically pin each members location by simply having a user profile field for zipcode/postal code, but it doesn't do that either.

You have to find your location on the map, and place the pin where you want it, and save.

Fix for no markers shown:

Edit:

/includes/functions_vbgooglemapme.php:

Goto line 49 which should start:

PHP Code:

$text_file .= "<marker mapid=" 


Replace that line with:

PHP Code:

$text_file .= "<marker mapid="". htmlspecialchars($get_xml_marker["mapid"]).""  title_map="".htmlspecialchars($get_xml_marker["title_map"])."" lng="".htmlspecialchars($get_xml_marker["lng"])."" lat="".htmlspecialchars($get_xml_marker["lat"])."" userid="".htmlspecialchars($get_xml_marker["userid"])."" username="".preg_replace("/\n|\r\n|\r/", "",nl2br(addslashes(htmlspecialchars(trim($get_xml_marker["username"])))))."" text_map="".preg_replace("/\n|\r\n|\r/", "", nl2br(addslashes(htmlspecialchars(trim($get_xml_marker["text_map"])))))."" type="".htmlspecialchars($gettype['googlemapmetype'])."" pimage="".htmlspecialchars($pimage)."" />\n"; 


/includes/cron/vbgooglemapme_cron.php:

Goto line 58 which should start:

PHP Code:

$text_file .= "<marker mapid=" 


Replace that line with:

PHP Code:

$text_file .= "<marker mapid="".htmlspecialchars($get_xml_marker["mapid"]).""  title_map="".htmlspecialchars($get_xml_marker["title_map"])."" lng="".htmlspecialchars($get_xml_marker["lng"])."" lat="".htmlspecialchars($get_xml_marker["lat"])."" userid="".htmlspecialchars($get_xml_marker["userid"])."" username="".preg_replace("/\n|\r\n|\r/", "",nl2br(addslashes(htmlspecialchars(trim($get_xml_marker["username"])))))."" text_map="".preg_replace("/\n|\r\n|\r/", "", nl2br(addslashes(htmlspecialchars(trim($get_xml_marker["text_map"])))))."" type="".htmlspecialchars($gettype['googlemapmetype'])."" pimage="".htmlspecialchars($pimage)."" />\n"; 


Run the scheduled task and your markers should return.
Basically I have modified the code to replace things like "&" with the xml safe "&" so no matter what anyone enters for the fields the xml should still be safe.

More tweaks to come including integration of the display groups being marker colour.

worked like a charm. Should be added to the instructions

Dear ZeroHour and friends,

I have just updated 2 files /includes/functions_vbgooglemapme.php & /includes/cron/vbgooglemapme_cron.php but it's still error, sometime it doesn't show the markers. I'm using Firefox.

Thanks for your help!
