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

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

Send me an email on admin@stonyarc.com and I'll get you the details. I don't want it to be a "shop" thread

I have a custom profile field for male and female users ... How easy is it to have coloured markers for these rather than the admin/mod markers?

Today i got the following error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO vb3_googlemap (userid,username,usergroupid,text_map,lat_map,lng_ map) VALUES ('39','c'tulla','15','Home','22.714985598007914','22.20255160331 726');

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'tulla','15','Home','22.714985598007914','22.20255160331 72

The Username trying to get his point is "c'tulla". I guess SQL cannot handle the ' in his name. Maybe you have a change to get it working somehow

I have installed this on my site but the layout is too wide for my style and hangs over about 1.5" on the right side. How can I resize the width to fit my style? Where and how do I adjust this..

Thank you

I updated the php file in the zip to compensate for that error.

just download the zipfile again and overwrite the vbgooglemap.php

Hi

I have now upgraded from 1.0.3 to 2.0.2 and I have a few questions.

1) how do I set the map to hybrid by default? (a switch in the acp options would be nice for a later version)
2) In firefox when avatars are on the avatar goes outside the "buble" at the bottom

Please help
