Vbulletin World Map System · **Released**: 03-07-2006

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:

Yep, it does mess it up.

I guess it plots from the bottom up.

I doubt it, more than likely due to imagesize calculations that I perform for scaling coordinates to the map.

Setting static values for height/width on the x,y code that determines plot location would probably fix what you're trying to do.

This is pretty fancy.

Is it possible to not allow the enlarged map on mouse over and just leave the normal?

I've got a question and a suggestion :

Did you use phrases for this hack ? I was trying to find phrases using phrases search but didn't find any .If you didn't I hope you do with the next release ,this make life a bit more easy
Also since the search engines spiders could be a large factor ,keeping a track of them will be unrealistic indication about the forum guests .maybe you can add an option to exclude them .

Other than that I can say nothing but thanks again for that hack .

Edit:

Go into the maps template and remove the onmouse over function - works like a charm.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
