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.

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

no luck... user permissions still not showing up in usergroups for ME, though I still have the ones for hotspot

am now going to upgrade to 3.5.4 from 3.5.3, though I doubt this is what is causing the problem

Can you pm me the link.

Can you create me an account with admin rights and pm it to me so I can help you out

FTP information is always handy too.

We'll get it fixed (hopefully)

/edit

I just registered as stonyarc.
You can also add stonyarc@hotmail.com to your msn so we can get this fixed.

the update fixed my permissions problem but now on the main map the user markers are all gray, when you list them they are correct but not on the map . Also the online graphic marker has disapeared (the green dot).



any ideas?

Did you do step 10?

Otherwise just click "your entry" and click update it will force a reload.

That should fix it.

I'll make it so that a change in admin cp also is directly reflected on the mainmap (on todo list)

[xfaethorx]

doh....sorry ..yeah its working now..but thats some damn fast support

[moonclamp]

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I can't edit my entry in firefox, I can delete it but not change it. Seems fine in IE though.

Also, in firefox, my "using normal URL" field is empty, but not in IE

As wachtmeister said complete step 10 of the program or click your entry and update once to get the cycle running.

[Gizmo999]
