INSTALL

HOTSPOT EDITION AVAILABLE ON : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114149
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.

Changes in this version

Special

- Read the attached PDF for more information. The pdf is also included in the zip file.

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

- tab support in the balloon
- !!!!!!!!!!! DIRECT LINK TO YOUR LOCATION !!!!!!!!!!!

This means users will be able to add a link to their signature, profile or somewhere else that will bring the one that clicks directly to the map with the set zoomlevel and the location of the user.

(This feature will be added to the 2.0.2 but is in fact intended for the hotspot edition).

Is the online thing we've talked about also coming or do you plan to release it later?

I used your exact javascript code and it works.

Ok I turned off the pager system and still have the problem.

Why do you think I build in TAB support

Cajun the error doesn't make any sense.

He's looking for the marker in the XML but as you can see in the markers.xml its all there

The only thing out of the ordinary that I see is

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="DC Forums Home RSS Feed" href="external.php?type=RSS" />

Can you please disable to test ? It might be causing the effect on the xml because it's in the xml get function

stonyarc...can i ask a silly question lol i know i just did but really...

lets say i don't use super mods (cuz i don't) is there a way to change that pin name and usergroup to something else? like event? or would i have to change the usergroup to a useage at all? i guess i would seeing as there are no supermods....well unless i add myself to it....but that would interfere with my location right?

do you understand what i want to do? think there is a way to do it? i don't want to have 2 googlemaps...

guess i could set up another dummy user lol so to speak....

Gizmo,

This is a vbulletin error it's not directly googlemap related. Are all plugin settings correct?

Can you try reverting the 4 googlemap templates before uninstalling? That might help.
______________________

I see you got it working

Don't forget to change http://ducati-upnorth.com/forum/VBGooglemap.php to all lower case. VBGooglemap.php can be dropped.

[Gizmo999]

Sorry Stonyarc, i left the main post and edited the end bit just in case anyone else did had the same problem

I've now altered all the old upper case to lower case and sorted Navigation out ,reverted my custom templates ( no need for the extra CSS) and its all working again.

great hack and support, I can't wait for the event hotspots addition it'll make a big difference for my events forums.
