Vbulletin World Map System · **Released**: 03-07-2006

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:

It's supposed to just be: GeoLiteCity.dat

The filename only. The field description just shows you where it should be uploaded to; not that you should enter the full path.

Works like a charm...*Clicks Install*

Fantastic extension

Can I suggest ... instead of just the 2 maps (All Members & Members/Guests Online), split the Members/Guests Online into 2 seperate maps giving a total of 3.

/me clicks install

A killer feature of this would be to label the ticks for the members online with their member name. Probably a ton of work as you'd have to either slice the image or add alt tags based on x/y, but it'd be pretty freakin' cool.

Sorry guys I'm having a problem with this. I got the http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoi...iteCity.dat.gz file unzipped it and there's a Video CD Movie file ??? Is this right? If not can someone give me the correct file please.

Thank you !

It's not a VideoCD Movie file. You just have the .DAT extension associated as a VideoCD Movie file. Just upload it to the proper location.

What does this mean?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
