Vbulletin World Map Plotting System Show Your Guest/Members From All Over The World !!!
Summary:
The core of this system I developed approximately 3 years ago but was unable to practically distribute it on vborg due to the fact the GEOIP City Database was a very expensive software product; and it is needed to map IP Addresses to Global Lat/Lon Coordinates.
With the recent availability of a "Lite" version of the City Database I have decided to build from the ground up a new hack that utilizes it to display 2 map structures.
1. Plots Your Current Members/Guest Online available on the Whos Online Page.
2. Plots Your Registered Members last known Coordinates on the Member List Page.
3. Coordinates are calculated from IP Addresses stored in your Forums Database.
Features:
Automatic & Accurate plotting of your Guest & Members on the WorldMap.
WorldMap Page to view Both Maps, added to your navbar.
Enable WOL, Member Plotting Independently
Control Panel Options
Specify Plotting Image Type, Size, Color
Specify Opaque, Alpha Transparency
Support for Payed Full Version of City Database
Updates on Scheduled Task Interval
Map is shown small and expands on Mouseover, then contracts back.
Instructions:
1. Download Zip File
2. Read INSTALL.TXT
3. Run the crontask manually the first time, so it will generate your images.
4. Click Install if you like it
Updates:

3/8/2006 9:52am - Fixed the jpeg output problem.
this is great! is it possible to cut off antartica and siberia etc?
also, this has made me REALLY inquisitive. is it possible to make this output where people are in text format? like, i have a user in SOuth Africa, i want to know who it is. is it possible to have it say where a user is based in their member profile, using this database?
did I miss an area or code where I can change what is pulled up to be displayed. Right now it looks like it is only pulling up my subscribers, I would like it to display for every member. Any help in the coding and location to find it?

People should already have a location field per vbulletin default.
While this system could be setup to automatically insert information into that profile field it probably wouldnt be a good idea; the GEOIP city lite database while being the best 'free' IP database is still not very accurate in terms of hitting your city direct on.
So you would most likely have profiles with many false positives; the map was created to be a 'general' observation of where your members/guest are scattered throughout the world.

PHP Code:
"SELECT post.ipaddress " . "FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post, " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user " . "WHERE user.userid = post.userid " . "AND user.lastpost = post.dateline"
Its pulling up all of your members who have posted.
