HOTSPOT EDITION AVAILABLE ON : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114149
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

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

Hmm...I'm having the same problem and I verified that all the files are uploaded and chmod'd correctly. As well as installed the product.

For whatever reason, they were missing on the server end even though I transferred everything at once. I uninstalled the hack and was going to reinstall it allowing it to overwrite and now I get:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE vb_usergroup ADD showonvbgme int(10) unsigned NOT NULL;

MySQL Error : Duplicate column name 'showonvbgme'
Error Number : 1060
Date : Sunday, May 14th 2006 @ 12:32:29 PM
Script : http://xxx/forum/admincp/plugin.php
Referrer : http://xxx/forum/admincp/plugin.php?do=productadd
IP Address : xxx
Username : JD45
Classname : vb_database

When attempting to install with either setting of overwrite or not.


Update: I edited the .xml file and took out that one line and it installed. Still no admincp setting anywhere though.

You can drop the field via phpmyadmin safely.

I'm looking into it.

In some cases the cpnav doesn't seem to show.

Uploading a fix now. .....


Ok for those that have problems with the adminpages not showing in the admincp.

Please download the version now online and overwrite the cpnav_vbgooglemap.xml

I've included a temp workaround so that you're able to run this version.

for a bitfield rebuild index.php?do=buildbitfields

I checked the source code and it's looking here

<img src="http://www.letsgokings.com/bbs/images/spacer.png" style="width: 0; height: 0; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='http://www.letsgokings.com/bbs/images/googlemapme/mm_20_blue.png', sizingMethod=scale);" border="0" alt="Team LGK">: Team LGK<br />

I looked in my /bbs/images/googlemapme folder and there IS a file called mm_20_blue.png but they still aren't showing in the legend. Can you see any other problem with that link?

I tried to register but there is an error

The following errors occurred during your registration:
A required field called How did you hear about LGK? is missing or has an invalid value.

But the field isn't shown on the registration.

Please get me an account so I can see for myself.

The link it shows isn't normal

[rinkrat]

Oh wait, I just fired up Mozilla Firefox and it shows the pegs. It just doesn't work with MS IE 7.0 for some reason.
