VBGooglemap Hotspot Edition 1.0.4
I'm proud to announce that the Hotspot Edition is currently available to you all !!!

Function
The vbgooglemap Hotspot Edition is a design from StonyArc (http://www.stonyarc.com). It allows you to create and maintain a whole range of elements like landmarks, places to visit or even people. The application is fully manageable from the control panels. Each specific category can have a specific colour code. The configuration is done by the administrator. He or she can edit/approve/add catogories name it, it's there.
Clicking on a marker will open a small balloon with some essential elements for that spot and an image in the second tab. For each marker on the map there is also a full details page including support for the vbulletin full editor (wysiwyg) so additional information and images can be added.

Use the menus to navigate through all the functions.

Vbgooglemap Hotspot Edition is ideal for handling landmarks, travel, events or even giving your users their own page.


Don't forget to hit install !!!!!!!

To add a marker is there anyway you could enter the address and it will mark it. The way it is now where you have to manually find each location makes it very hard to pinpoint locations.

[Kanustep]

4nmedia you can paste the latitude and longitude on the fields it work too.

It will be good to have a search engine or use vBulletin search engine so members could search for pinpoits. Otherwise to someone that has 1000 pinpoints the filters is not enough.

I'd like to search by Zip code. Is this possible to put in?

Are all of you entries listed? I count 36 in your list. Do you have 36 balloons?

I always have the first entry missing even though it appears in my list.

Has anyone had trouble adding a new category? I just installed this on 3.5.5, and when I try adding a category, I get an SQL error.

Invalid SQL:
insert into vb_googlemaphse_cat values('','Member's Home','red');

AND... I just realized it's erroring out because there is a ' within the text, so I guess the code needs to be modified to allow for single quotes within strings

work on vb 3.6?

[rollo tamasi]

for some reason this won't install on my /forum domain but it does install on my test forum @ /beta/forum

After i install the product and refresh the admin panel i don't have any menu item for the GoogleMap. None at all. And if i go to admincp/vbgooglemaphse_admin.php i get a blank page

For both installations i have done the exact same steps. Does anyone know why this might occur on one forum and not on the other one?

I'm using 3.5.4 for both forums.

hi, great hack indeed!!

just a suggestion in case you are planning some improvement

it would be REALLY nice if we have the chance to

1) add an event in the calendar AND add the location at the same time
2) have a field in the user's profile to add the marker directly

i'm sorry if i don't explain myself in a correct language but i don't write in english so often to have a good grammar

again, a REALLY nice hack

later

Oro



[edit]

just fyi, i currently run vB 3.6 and it works great.
