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

This is the port of the VB 3.5.X version (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114149)

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 !!!!!!!

I received a message from someone that had been added to our invitation list and sent a couple of emails. They indicated that the "opt out" link did not work unless you were a registered member on the site. Could that be? How can we fix that?

[firefox100]

Two problems:
1.- We cannot mark from Iexplorer, the mark is entered but this doesn't come out in screen. With Firefox works well.
2.- The groups assigned to mark cannot mark, only the administrator.

For everything the rest, great product Stonyarc, of the best in the year.

Okay I just did a test and confirmed that the "Opt Out" link in the invitation email results in the

You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1. You are not logged in. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and try again.
2. You may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
3. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

How can I get rid of this message so non-members can actually opt out?

NOTE: I apologize as I just realized these two messages are in the wrong forums! I need more sleep. Sorry!

i'm just new to this wonderful hack.

my question is about zoom feature for links.
is it right that the zoom link number such as

vbgooglemaphse.php?lat=53.61817207375609&lng=10.097637176513672&zoom=8

has no effect while the default zoom factor is
i.e. " 5 " shown for that link above ?

(same behavior /w googlemap me)

I had this up and working fine on vb 3.5.4

I just upgraded to 3.6.4 and now it says my API key is registered for a different web site. Do I need to download and and install 1.0.4 again? If so, I've already got a lot of content on the map...how do i go about installing but not overwriting all of the info? the instructions say to make sure "overwrite" is set to yes, but that was for an upgrade to 1.0.4...just a little confused. Thanks for any help

I see that it does not sanitise the input of the coordinates before inserting into the database. Here I just copied and pasted the coordintes from google earth, which contain ' and ".

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '55.37"S','152°16'50.88"E','http://www.roverpark.com/','','',
'1','1167024388')' at line 6

When I click "show on map" from "list elements" it just shows the default location every time, although the URL it is requesting seems to be valid.

It would be nice if it accepted these and could also import a "link to this page" maps.google.com url to make it easy to add stuff.

Thanks!
