VBGooglemap Hotspot Edition 1.0.4
I'm proud to announce that the Hotspot Edition is currently available to you all !!!

Function
The vbgooglemap Hotspot Edition is a design from StonyArc (http://www.stonyarc.com). It allows you to create and maintain a whole range of elements like landmarks, places to visit or even people. The application is fully manageable from the control panels. Each specific category can have a specific colour code. The configuration is done by the administrator. He or she can edit/approve/add catogories name it, it's there.
Clicking on a marker will open a small balloon with some essential elements for that spot and an image in the second tab. For each marker on the map there is also a full details page including support for the vbulletin full editor (wysiwyg) so additional information and images can be added.

Use the menus to navigate through all the functions.

Vbgooglemap Hotspot Edition is ideal for handling landmarks, travel, events or even giving your users their own page.


Don't forget to hit install !!!!!!!

Special

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 spotmarkers.xml file to 777
- usergroup permissions are available in the backend
- First time loading of the map may take a few seconds longer because of Google API hosting

I've just installed!
This is, by no doubt, the best hack I've ever seen !

Still making up your roadmap? Here is my wishlist :

- Edit-function only for self-written/set elements. Users should not been allowed to edit other user's entries. Admins and Mods of course should be able! (I think this has been asked for already?)

- Upload-function for the image on the marker instead of "URL of the image for the marker"

- Each given item / possiblities to fill should be able to switch on and off for each category. Because I want to avoid, that users just use it for spamming their website for example. Also for some categories it makes no sense to add a date for example.

- A possibility in AdminCP to set width and height of the main map

- Answer-feature at the details page

- Possibility to specify an own template just for Google maps


And here some "bugs" - are they?

- The WYSIWYG-editor doesn't show an upload-function as it does in the 'normal' forum. Why? Is it a bug?

- The WYSIWYG-editor shows a button called 'Script-Eingabeaufforderung', which is not shown in the forum's WYSIWYG-editor. What is this for? Couldn't this be a problem with security?

- The smiley-list doesn't show correctly!

Sch?ne Gr??e,
Andreas

This is probably data related.

I haven't fully explored this great Mod yet, but here are some things that would be useful IMO:

1. Allow users to see both map and list mode together. (i.e. http://www.pbnation.com/fieldshow.php?state=pa)
2. Allow the addition of custom fields to elements ala the Links Directory Mod
3. Allow categories to have different sets of fields. For instance, say I want to have a category for events that has fields ABC, yet I want a location event to have fields DEF.
4. Allow everything to be searchable. (i.e. type in a zip to see everything in that locale)
5. Add address fields.
6. Allow admins to select any color they want for markers. Allow unlimited marker categories.
6. All in all I think the Links Directory Mod is a good roadmap, they have alot of good assets, yet they don't have a map.

Keep up the good work, I will be following your progress.

I will look into it.
It's indeed a work in progress.
I'm finishing the Member Edition build with some new features and I'm starting the roadmap somewhere this week if it doesn't get to busy at work and with xboxusersgroup.com (it's E3 this week so a lot of news coming our way).
