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.

I've farmed it out as a paid modification but the first developer didn't resolve it. Just hired a second coder to try. I know that doesn't help the free mod folks much but I need to get this working again given it's importance on my site.

[BGObsession]

If he solves it for you, could you let me know - I will definitely pay to get it working again.

PM me if you want contact info to get your map fixed and I'll fill you in.

[BGObsession]

Thanks Bryan - pm sent.

For any version 4.2 folks, a member here has worked through fixes for this mod and did a great job getting the member map back up and running on my 4.2.1 site. If you are interested in a fix, I would recommend you contact him.

I just spent the last couple days dealing directly with vBNinja, he fixed my vBMemberMap and got me back up and running, he was a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating!

Highly recommended!

[BGObsession]

All hail vBNinja!

[silverd]

I also have a fix available. Not the same fix as VBNinja's. PM for info.

(Me and a JS friend developed a fix at the same time as VBNinja, so two are now available)

[ozzy47]

Ok, do why not share in the thread? Why need for a pm?

[compunerdy]

VBninja wants $100 for the working version.. Anyone else have a reasonable priced one or a free fix?
