Detailed installation instructions and screenshots in the included pdf file.

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 2.5.1 brings you a lot of new features. It?s vital that you uninstall any previous version before upgrading/installing version 2.5.1.

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 2.5.0 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

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

In the vbgooglemap_display_map

	  <!-- map --> 
	  	 <div width="800px">
		
				
		
		<fieldset style="width:800px">

To the width you want

and

<div id="map" style="width: 800px; height: 400px;"></div>

to

<div id="map" style="width: 550px; height: 275px;"></div>

That should fix that.

Don't forget to click install !!!!

this was working fine yesterday but i've upgraded and now its giving me the "this API key was registered for somewhere else" error.
the key i'm using is for http://www.speakout.biz/forum .
the link to my google map is http://www.speakout.biz/forum/VBGooglemap.php

i've also tried registering a key just for www.speakout.biz but that doesnt work either.

All,

A little sample of things to come in 2.0.2

http://www.xboxusersgroup.com/images/sample02.jpg

This includes
- list pages for the members on the map with pagination
- tab support in the balloon
- !!!!!!!!!!! DIRECT LINK TO YOUR LOCATION !!!!!!!!!!!

This means users will be able to add a link to their signature, profile or somewhere else that will bring the one that clicks directly to the map with the set zoomlevel and the location of the user.

(This feature will be added to the 2.0.2 but is in fact intended for the hotspot edition).

Gavin,

The link should be http://www.speakout.biz/forum/vbgooglemap.php lower case because that has changed.

It should work fine after you change that. (it's indicated in the pdf)
