Vbulletin World Map System

Vbulletin World Map Plotting System
Show Your Guest/Members From All Over The World !!!

Summary:

The core of this system I developed approximately 3 years ago but was unable to practically distribute it on vborg due to the fact the GEOIP City Database was a very expensive software product; and it is needed to map IP Addresses to Global Lat/Lon Coordinates.

With the recent availability of a "Lite" version of the City Database I have decided to build from the ground up a new hack that utilizes it to display 2 map structures.

1. Plots Your Current Members/Guest Online available on the Whos Online Page.
2. Plots Your Registered Members last known Coordinates on the Member List Page.
3. Coordinates are calculated from IP Addresses stored in your Forums Database.

Features:

• Automatic & Accurate plotting of your Guest & Members on the WorldMap.
• WorldMap Page to view Both Maps, added to your navbar.
• Enable WOL, Member Plotting Independently
• Control Panel Options
• Specify Plotting Image Type, Size, Color
• Specify Opaque, Alpha Transparency
• Support for Payed Full Version of City Database
• Updates on Scheduled Task Interval
• Map is shown small and expands on Mouseover, then contracts back.

Instructions:

1. Download Zip File
2. Read INSTALL.TXT
3. Run the crontask manually the first time, so it will generate your images.
4. Click Install if you like it

Updates:
3/14/2006 - Forgot to uncomment keep-alive code.
3/12/2006 12:54pm -
1. Added a new Realistic World map
2. Configuration Editor partially remade, allows easier selection of Maps.
3/8/2006 11:35pm - Added a worldmap.php Page, for viewing both maps.
3/8/2006 9:52am - Fixed the jpeg output problem.

Note:

The GEOIP Binary Database can be located here:

i was wondering on my /worldmap.php page the top bar spaces out so far but doesnt on any other page what would cause this here is a image to show you what i mean....

Also, there's a white line down the left side of the "Realistic" image. (easily seen on the dark background shown in the previous post)

I fixed the image on mine (filled it in when the ocean pattern for the top part, and the ice pattern for the lower part).

[DementedMindz]

ahhh i see it now what you mean but how could i fix the private message bar?

[DementedMindz]

here is the "Realistic" image fixed i made it max quality this way it looks better i can make it less of a quality but takes away when shown in full screen

Thanks, I have updated it on my local copy; will upload sometime later.

[DementedMindz]

if you want to use it for future releases it might be better for me to lower the quality a bit cause its 203.87 kb while its not large some may think it is... its that way cause of the high quality this way when they click the image and make it larger it dont loose no resolution...i also made a few with boarders if anyone wants to see them... they look nice on a dark background... here is one i made i removed the oceans and beveled the land and then readded the oceans to give it more of a realistic feel it has a border also but looks nice on a dark background...

up and running.

I left the Who's Online Part off as it never seems caught up with who is actually online.

Love it though. Working Great. Thanks.

Yep, I did it on my site, and someone typed up some simple instructions on how to create a CMPS Page to hold your maps:
