Major Additions - DamnComp - MemberMap

ABOUT
After moving over from xenforo the one thing I was missing on my forum was a membermap. This is a map where your users can pin their location so that others can see where people are. This modification does just this.


FEATURES
Admin Settings:

Enable Membermap - Globally switches membermap and associated tabs off
Allowed Usergroups - Which usergroups can see the membermap
Can Edit - Which usergroups can add/edit markers on the map



User Functions

Add/Edit marker by drag drop on map
Add/Edit marker by searching for location by text
Online users show different colour
Popup bubble on markers with avatar and profile link
Live user search

INSTALL

Upload all files in the upload folder to your forum directory leaving their structure intact, then import the product file. If you are using a custom skin, please ensure you also add the dcmembermap image folder to your own misc directory within images

PLEASE NOTE THIS MODIFICATION IS IN BETA STAGE. SUPPORT WILL BE GIVEN ONLY TO THOSE WHO SPECIFY INSTALLED.

Practically anything you have set on a server could in some way be considered a security risk, it depends on just how much people have it locked down. Look at it this way, out of all the people who have installed this product, only 2 people do not already have that specific settign enabled in their php configuration. Also this setting is included in every php distribution and is actually enabled by default.

This said I am actually trying to sort a way around this, but not because of security. The reason I want to change the way it works is because I would like people to be able to use it without having to change settings wherever possible.

As stated above the images are located on the install based on the default forum skin. if you have another skin you need to ensure that the images folder goes in the relevant misc folder for your skin. This is why you do not see a marker.

The dcMembermap image folder has to go into the "misc" folder of your custom template
