Vbulletin World Map System

Vbulletin World Map Plotting System
Show Your Guest/Members From All Over The World !!!

Summary:

The core of this system I developed approximately 3 years ago but was unable to practically distribute it on vborg due to the fact the GEOIP City Database was a very expensive software product; and it is needed to map IP Addresses to Global Lat/Lon Coordinates.

With the recent availability of a "Lite" version of the City Database I have decided to build from the ground up a new hack that utilizes it to display 2 map structures.

1. Plots Your Current Members/Guest Online available on the Whos Online Page.
2. Plots Your Registered Members last known Coordinates on the Member List Page.
3. Coordinates are calculated from IP Addresses stored in your Forums Database.

Features:

• Automatic & Accurate plotting of your Guest & Members on the WorldMap.
• WorldMap Page to view Both Maps, added to your navbar.
• Enable WOL, Member Plotting Independently
• Control Panel Options
• Specify Plotting Image Type, Size, Color
• Specify Opaque, Alpha Transparency
• Support for Payed Full Version of City Database
• Updates on Scheduled Task Interval
• Map is shown small and expands on Mouseover, then contracts back.

Instructions:

1. Download Zip File
2. Read INSTALL.TXT
3. Run the crontask manually the first time, so it will generate your images.
4. Click Install if you like it

Updates:
3/14/2006 - Forgot to uncomment keep-alive code.
3/12/2006 12:54pm -
1. Added a new Realistic World map
2. Configuration Editor partially remade, allows easier selection of Maps.
3/8/2006 11:35pm - Added a worldmap.php Page, for viewing both maps.
3/8/2006 9:52am - Fixed the jpeg output problem.

Note:

The GEOIP Binary Database can be located here:

Have you many any significant changes to your vbulletin database tables?

[DementedMindz]

nope not at all its really a new site im just starting... i have a few admins so it should log there ips and mine... and there is post in the forums

If you have it set to record the IP (whether shown or not), it should record for everyone; not just Admins. Unless you're using some hack to change the way it records IPs.

Great product. I have a small forum in Scandinavia and a swedish spooken forum is it possible to just have the scandinavian contrys or just europe

nope not at all it displays tyhem when there online it just dont keep records of them when they leave on the top map the guest and members shows fine though

When you view a post by a user, there should be a little computer icon under each user's name.

It looks like this:

Clicking that should show you the IP address the user was at when they made that post. If you don't have that icon showing, then you don't have it set to log IPs.

yeah i have it showing im going to try and have a few people post and see if they show i think i got mine to log it now... i erased it and reinstalled it
