Major Additions - DamnComp - MemberMap

ABOUT
After moving over from xenforo the one thing I was missing on my forum was a membermap. This is a map where your users can pin their location so that others can see where people are. This modification does just this.


FEATURES
Admin Settings:

Enable Membermap - Globally switches membermap and associated tabs off
Allowed Usergroups - Which usergroups can see the membermap
Can Edit - Which usergroups can add/edit markers on the map



User Functions

Add/Edit marker by drag drop on map
Add/Edit marker by searching for location by text
Online users show different colour
Popup bubble on markers with avatar and profile link
Live user search

INSTALL

Upload all files in the upload folder to your forum directory leaving their structure intact, then import the product file. If you are using a custom skin, please ensure you also add the dcmembermap image folder to your own misc directory within images

PLEASE NOTE THIS MODIFICATION IS IN BETA STAGE. SUPPORT WILL BE GIVEN ONLY TO THOSE WHO SPECIFY INSTALLED.

Thx, all!

Does your test server use some type of caching system?
Anyways, glad everything is working out for you!

The test server works without caching system.
My real server works with xcache

When I click to the icon, I can see the username and the avatar.
Is it possible to ad a profile field there?

FYI
Version 1.0.2 seems to have reverted back and phrase membermap isn't changing.

How about adding an option in the vBAdmin area to Enter and a link to Obtaining an API Key to have a map for our site.

Updated to 1.0.2 running under vBulletin 4.1.3pl5 and nothing blew up, but when I run:

http://www.mysite.com/dcMembermap.php (substituted "mysite" for security reasons)

All I get is attached pic. I click on "Update Your Location" and nothing happens. I enter a name in search box and click "enter"... nothing happens ... all files are installed in correct locations.

I realize this mod was written for vBulletin 4.2, but is there anyone out there we can "contract for fee" to get it running under our 4.1.3 version?

Thanks for any feedback via PM's from anyone who might be able to help .... :up:

Regards,
Doug

Possibility. May have a look into it for future version, however an API key isnt required for the V3 API so its not something thats a priority at the moment.

Bare with me on this. I may well test this under 4.1 myself at some point, however want to ensure everything is perfect before I do. There will be nothing else being added for V1 of membermaps now so you shouldnt have to wait too long.

Alternativly if you are happy to give me details for ftp and admin on the forum you are running, I can see if I can get it up and running for you. Again wont be a priority though as officially Im not supporting it at present.

Yes it may not be required but this may still be a concern...but I am no Google Maps JavaScript API v3 expert.

Google say's:

Using an API key enables you to monitor your application's Maps API usage, and ensures that Google can contact you about your application if necessary. If your application's Maps API usage by exceeds the Usage Limits, you must load the Maps API using an API key in order to purchase additional quota.

Wouldn't want to use all your quota
