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.

For now, if you don't have any image problems (invalid chars such as &) but still your map is broken, try this.

In vbgooglemapme.php, find this on line 107

$smallmapcontrol = "
        map.addControl(new GOverviewMapControl(new GSize(150,150)));
        var overview = document.getElementById(\"memap_overview\"); 
        document.getElementById(\"memap\").appendChild(overview);";

and replace with this

$smallmapcontrol = "
        map.addControl(new GOverviewMapControl(new GSize(150,150)));";

That kept the small overview map and fixed the display issue.

I'll post back tomorrow how to remove all the info about images if people want.

Could you explain how to remove the image tab in the bubble?

[vwdforum]

www.vbulletin.org vBGooglemap Member Edition

"Location" in postbit

Insert avatar cron script and let the displaygroupid determine the map pin color

problem: only zooms to 10

"return here" phrase correction

dhtml member menu in postbit

img breaks load (just disable) no zoom on detail still

I see were Google added a new Marker Manager Control!
This will allow you to reduce the markers as needed with zoom levels.

$smallmapcontrol = (fix?)

is there some way to set 5 location per user ?

IMG MARKER FIX

Some feature requests / proposals:
Mousewheel zooming
Mousing over only pops up usernames instead of full-scale info balloons
Ability to select terrain

To fix this SET NAMES error (to choose "Terrain" as a default map type: NEXT POST)

a single user that can add multiple links on there(?)

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.

that is not working

Thanks Mally

Hi, here is my simple fix for getting VBgooglemaps working when AME 2.5.5 is installed.

Go to the Plugin Manager and edit the "AME : Permission Hide" plugin (global_start).

Add in the beginning of the plugin code the following code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT != 'vbgooglemapme') {

At the end of the plugin code add a closing "}"

that's it
