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

I have just installed a clean version - set all permissions and the map shows fine.

When I go to add myself, I fill in all of the fields and I get this message:

"Your marker title could not be added into the database because one or more fields blank were left blank. Please make sure you have enter all required information.
Return to previous page"

What can I try?

thanks

I have the same problem Kurzo, no reactions yet.

See my latest posts, with screenshots.

I checked and the table was created - no records, though.

Did the Scheduled Task - seems to be ok:

VBGooglemap Member Edition
Done

You could try to do what it says?

[kurzo]

Thanks for your wonderful insight icheb - I obviously must have followed some sort of directions to get it to the point of having it installed, running and from what I can see - all in place.

Maybe it is a mySQL version issue - I don't know.

Your previous advice was trial and error? Isn't that what the developers are supposed to do?

A few people are having the same issue - so I do not think it is a matter of not understanding instructions.

Can anyone help a few of us here?

Thanks

I tried searching, but 95 pages is a bit much. Is zip code support still planned for this? I don't think my members would use it much otherwise. It's a fantastic mod, but a bit complex for regular members to quickly add themselves.

The message only appears when you don't enter all required information. It may be a revelation to you but you might want to try filling out all fields before submitting the form.
And your remark about it being a MySQL issue is hilarious. If you don't know anything about the topic at hand, just don't say anything.

Hi all !
First of all sorry for my English (I'm from Italy )
I installed and everithing works very well with IE but not with Firefox or Netscape.....
I can add a profile, modify and delete it but I cannot see any mark point on the map :surprised:
I tried to search but it's an hard work in 96 pages
Thanks.

I searched but didn't come across anything,,

Is there a way to not show all usergroups at the bottom of the main map in the usergroup legends area?
