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.

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

Well Since it's not my mod I didn't want to release it as such. Besides StonyArc's version should be out this Summer anyway. I just did this for myself and whoever wants it ahead of time.

New install on 4.0.3 and so far so good except for markers not showing on main map. Checked other addons and the vmood mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ghlight=google is stopping the markers from showing. When its disabled markers show, when enabled none show.

Any ideas whats needed to fix this problem?

Thanks!

Do you have the overlay map enabled? If so try turning it off.

[kylek]

Not using the small overlay map.

[ckgreenman]

Hmm ok. Sounds like most likely there is a javascript conflict or something. I've never used the vMoods mod so I'm not familiar with it. I'll try downloading it to see if there is anything obvious that's causing a problem.

[MagiKelly]

It is worth checking if there are errors in the markers file. This is usually caused by an mistaken entry in the image file.

please help

Check your xml for " or ' or ! characters or other characters that broke it.
It's probably the last entry
Remove it, then save markers.xml
Then visit your actual entry on the map (/vbgooglemapme.php?do=addelement), and click save again, even if you didn't make changes. Visit your main map and its likely fixed again for the short term.

I am waiting for a new release for vB4. I have tried the one from ckgreenman but no markers on the map ;/
