INSTALL

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.

Changes in this version

SEE FIRST POST FOR FULL ROADMAP AND HISTORY

Planned Features
- TBD

Volume warning

high volume of users may slow down the load. Currently a load counter is included.

Languages

Thanks to Wachtmeister there is a German translation available to you all. Feel free to use it.

The translation will be updated on each new version.

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

Hi stonyarc, I've seen on your board that you're using 3.7.4 too, but markers do not seem working, do you know why ?

We tried the patch posted here, but no way ... have you a solution ?

I was able to get this working with vB 3.80 RC2 with a few of lpetrich's and Falcon Capt's suggested fixes.

Mainly the zoom wouldn't work when you clicked the find me, and then just a few improvments.

I didn't read back through all of the posts, but I wonder how hard it would be to add two things...

One maybe a single user that can add multiple links on there, or even everyone being able to add more than just their location. Seeing how my site deals with Off-Roading, it would be nice to mark trails on the map maybe even with a different icon.

Another idea, somehow link it to zipcode based locating. So if a vb user has their zipcode entered in their profile it will automagically populate. (I suspect this is gonna be harder to do because of the sheer amount of code it will take.)

Any thoughts ? I am going to read more of this thread tomorrow and see if I can get some ideas from the code.

Well I don't know about a re-release, but if it helps anyone I have attached my product-vbgooglemapme.xml and vbgooglemapme.php files in a zip. All I have done is added the recommended changes and it does work as I stated in earlier post.

One change I made myself is in the vbgooglemapme.xml file. Line 1479 I changed it so that there is a globe icon you click in the users postbit to locate them.I didn't like the text link and it was out of place for sure where I plopped it. I put it right under the user IM icons.

You will need to change the hyper link I added in line 1479 to you your actual domain/path_to_imag.file.

Code:
<div>$post[icqicon] $post[aimicon] $post[msnicon] $post[yahooicon] $post[skypeicon]</div>
<!-- vBGoogleMap Me -->
$post[findme]
<!-- / vBGoogleMap Me -->
I included the globe in the zip file as well but you can replace it with anything you like.


Hope this helps anyone looking to get it working. I am far from a coder, but I will spend hours making something I like work.. or until my eyes bleed which they were last night.

Thanks to the original author and those that have added code to make it work !

FYI, my server is IIS on 2003 x64, MySQL 5.x, PHP 5.x.

I just updated my last post and attachment with the fixes detailed here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=697

This addresses the disappearing markers which I had happen today.. roughly 24 hours after I installed it and had it working. This occured when a user went to modify his marker and they just all vanished.

Hope this helps... follow the directions in that post on where to place the updated files.

I do notice now, that if you go back to the Map and select "Your Entry", the zoom and links below are blank and the map doesn't show.

This might be a fluke with one of the other patches I applied.. I will research it more later.

It still doesn't work for me (3.7.4) with theses mods. No marker is shown. It worked a few weeks ago. Does anyone get vbgooglemap working on a 3.7.4 vBulletin ?

I suggest checking <forum root directory>/markers.xml to see if it can be parsed correctly as XML. People often put ' or " into their usernames and/or description text, which causes confusion for XML parsers.

ZeroHour's fix, in this thread, had fixed that problem for me and several others -- has it ever failed for anyone?

More broadly, it would be nice if someone was willing to maintain an updated and fixed version. I myself am willing to take on that task; I am rather expert with the Google Maps API, though not with PHP or vBulletin internals or interacting with a database. But I see a potential problem with infringing on StonyArc's copyright. Has anyone been in touch with StonyArc about this add-on, its problems, and our fixes?

Same problem with the 3.7.5 version available today.

I can't see how 3.7x wouldn't work if I can get it to work on 3.8 RC2. 3.8 is final on Thursday....

I didn't read all of your posts, but did you check in your markers.xml and make sure they are still in there ? If so, try the files I just updated and added last night in my previous post. I KNOW they work for for me because mine disappeared.. so I went back to post 697 and did those changes, uploaded files, ran scheduled task, and they were back.

Another thing of note.. take a peek and make sure you don't have any goofy characters in any of the users data. Not saying that would be the exact cause.. but I noticed that if someone links to an image and it has & or special characters that it won't show the image.
