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.x brings you a lot of new features. It?s vital that you uninstall any previous version before upgrading/installing version 2.5.x.

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 3.0.0. 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.

Working for me on 3.81 so I would guess you just have one of the known faults to do with an illegal image address or the use up a special character in an entry.

MagiKelly, what happens when there is an invalid image address or some special character in the text? Have you tried ZeroHour's fix in post #697? That's worked for me and for several otehr people.

Phaedrus, it's rather troubling that vB 3.8.1 seems to have broken vbGoogleMap for you. I think that you ought to try ZeroHour's aforementioned fix, because by coincidence, someone might have entered some bad text or a bad image URL at the time that you upgraded to 3.8.1.

Is anyone else here willing to tell us their experiences with vbGoogleMap on 3.8.0 or 3.8.1?

towermatt, the \' instead of ' is an artifact of the text handling that will be hard to fix short of a major rewrite of it, to do JavaScript escaping and HTMLizing properly. And BTW, I think that the position-input system also deserves rewriting. I'm fairly familiar with the Google Maps API, but not so familiar with PHP or vBulletin's API, so I could offer only a limited amount of help. And where has StonyArc been?

Thank you for that explanation....

Is there anyone else that might know a way to fix this apostrophe issue?



Thank you in advance.

See my post here to explain the alteration I made

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...44#post1369344

Other than that I have done nothing as my problems were always to do with invalid image addresses. I do check every so often to make sure there are no special characters in any other fields but so far all has been fine.

[principino1984]

I found my problem...is something with the AME product (The Automatic Media Embeder). If I disable it everything works fine.

Marco

[towermatt]

I run both at the same time and it seems fine.
