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 2.5.1 brings you a lot of new features. It?s vital that you uninstall any previous version before upgrading/installing version 2.5.1.

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 2.5.0 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.

Changes in this version

SEE FIRST POST FOR FULL ROADMAP AND HISTORY

Planned Features

Special

- Read the attached PDF for more information. The pdf is also included in the zip file.
- You'll need a googlemap key for your domain. Get your own key for your domain view http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html for more information.
A googlemap key is only valid for a specific domain. You'll need a specific google account to create one.
All is explained on the googlemap link indicated above.
- Set the file permissions on the marker.xml file to 777
- The googlemap script can handle non-registered users. They will only see the main map and won't be able to enter information. This is reserved for logged in users (detected automatically)
- usergroup permissions are available in the backend
- To change location just drag the map while holding the left mouse key or by using the zoom and key functions on the left
- First time loading of the map may take a few seconds longer because of Google API hosting

When exactly do you get this error?
Can you please reinstall the product with a full overwrite?

thanks for the update, looks great.

Is there a way to replace a users default vbulletin location in the postbit if they have a googlemap location set?

Also I seem to be having problems with the usergroups. I tried to get one usergroup to show up on the map with yellow balloons and it didn't work, but even when I disabled that usergroup there were 2 normal users who showed up with yellow balloons for some reason. (I only have blue, green and red enabled).

You can see the yellow ones in so. ca. and also in ontario, canada a little above new york. (its hidden behind 3 others)

As the markers.xml isn't recreated anymore on each load if you change the setting of the usergroup you'll have to force the cron to run to create the file by clicking run now

or by going to the map, clicking your entry and clicking update which also forces a reload.

that should fix it.

on a more pleasant note

i'm still in the situation where the map is working perfectly but the link in the user informotaion in the postbit is only showing up for one person and not the other. we are both admins so it shouldn't be a usergroup issue. any ideas?

[dai-kun]

I can't get the markers to show up on the map for some reason. I tried running the cron job too but i get this:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/domain/domain.com/forum/includes/adminfunctions.php:236) in /includes/cron/vbgooglemapme_cron.php on line 20

-edit-

nevermind, i fixed it by reuploading the product file.

Thanks for the hack.

I'm not able to simulate the issue.

Can you make sure that the $post[findme] is put outside any of the conditions (if's) just to make sure.

Also check the plugin code

It must look like this one

PHP Code:

global $vbulletin; 


if ($post[userid]){ 
$getpos = $vbulletin->db->query_first("SELECT userid,lat_map,username,lng_map FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "googlemapme WHERE userid = $post[userid]"); 
$bburl = $vbulletin->options['bburl']; 
$lat = $getpos['lat_map']; 
$lng = $getpos['lng_map']; 


if ($lat) 
{ 
$post['findme'] = "<a href=\"$bburl/vbgooglemapme.php?lat=$lat&lng=$lng&zoom=10\" target=\"_self\">$vbphrase[vbgooglemapme_findme]</a>"; 
} 
else 
{ 
$post['findme'] = ""; 

} 

} 
else 
{ 
$post['findme'] = ""; 
}

ok so here's the end result. i put the $post[findme] outside the if condition for the avatar and it showed up with "my location" the additional hack that you had for the profile was showing another link that said "dr.viggy's location" but it wasn't showing for anyone else. i removed the code for the profile hack and it left the "my location" link for the users that have added map entries. it's 100% now. thanks for all your help.

I think there is a problem with the formating when using Firefox. Worked fine with the prior version but the new version seam to not align up correctly in FF but ok in IE
Here is the link to an example
