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

What are the "Files Modifications" needed to make this work with 3.8.3 Will PAY for this to work with 3.8.3 if users can enter their own points (perhaps moderated) along with comments on the point.

What would it take to make this work with 3.8.3 and also allow a user to enter any coordinates that they wanted and multiple points as well?

[Verionia]

I would like this for 3.83 too, please post the new additions to the forum, thanks!

It already works in 3.8.3 for me and some other people; you may have conflicts with some other add-on like the Automatic Media Embedder (AME). You may want to check on the bug fixes and feature additions that several people have contributed, including myself.

As to entering coordinates numerically, that will require rewriting the client-side code in the product file.

Making it possible for each member to enter several points, each with their own labels, will require rewriting both the client-side and the server-side code. It may be possible to avoid changing the database-table format, however.

Unfortunately I do have AME added into my site :[

I've been running Google Maps and AME on my site for quite some time now without any issues.

What about speed - that demo site forum loaded wayyyy too slow. Does anyone have this problem?

[FunkyDiver]

Well, I've fiddled for about 6 hours now.. on and off (so 3 hours real time) and not working...
