What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified by us whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

I see no setting's anywhere to set permissions

[DragonByte Tech]

Did you try setting the permissions in the Usergroup Manager?

Working great. I love it.

[erosolmi]

Working great under VB4.2.0 PL3

Is it possible to add an option to map all users having at least 1 post?

Thanks a lot
Eros

[DragonByte Tech]

I don't think that's possible at this time, sorry. If you want to suggest it as a new feature, I'd urge you to post it in our forum - suggestions made here at vBulletin.org will be lost in time since we don't have any issue tracking systems here.

How detailed does the map go into? Is it zoomable (assume it is) to the point of showing street addresses? What geo-location data is used to determine the map location?

[DragonByte Tech]

It is zoomable yeah.

The registration IP is used, although members can also manually re-deploy their pin in case the IP provides an inaccurate location.

[Snowhog]

Cool. Thank you for the quick response.

I dont understand how this mod works...

I have installed since one week and my map appears empty.
Im using vBulletin 4.2.0 version and have 125.000 members.

My admin group config:
Can View Member Map: Yes
Excluded From Display: No
Can Edit Own Location: Yes
Can Opt Out: Yes

Already have run Member Map Geolocation manually... but map still empty.

What Im doing wrong?

Thanks!
