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 !!!!!!!

Any one know how to resize the map
its too wide on my forum

Thanks

Installed and looking good.
Just one problem - No Markers!

I can add markers and they are listed in View Elements page fine.
Nothing is showing on the map.
All files are uploaded to the correct place and permissions are set correctly
The dashboard always says Current Markers 0 no matter how many are listed in View Elements.
We have the Members Edition which works no problem.

Any ideas?

[bluechris]

Something in your overall forum ... some addon or something else causing this... still i havent spoted the exact problem but this is what i did to solve it.

Thanks bluechris - did nothing for me I'm afraid.

We have the Members Edition which runs fine.
I notice that the members edition the markers don't show until the cron job runs.
The Hotspot edition has No Cron job to run. Is that right?

It's behaving like the Members edition if the cron job is not run.

Does HSE Need a cron job?

[bluechris]

Neither myne has cron job and works fine so i suppose it doesnt needed..... have you tried to make a new style with no parent and test there is Hotspot works? if yes then some addon does the trick to you.... if it works try to disable 1 by 1 the addons and see what causes the trouble... most of the times other addon code does the trouble in googlemap. Imagine that if i use any caching except memcache (i tried Xcache, Apc) googlemap in both editions when i click go to marker of something always goes to center of the map.... both stonyarc addons are great just need little adjustment to be more stable.

1. Put the data table (List Elements) in-line below the map, not on another page. In addition, as the filters are applied, update the map that would show above them.

2. Attachments. Allow for a third Tab to include attachments. I need the ability to allow a member the option of uploading a GPS file and would like to provide access to the GPS file along with the photos and such.

Two more questions, as I am getting close to trying this one:

1. Can you apply group permissions to this, preventing/allowing certain groups access?

2. When do you expect the new version and what features have been added???

[RedefiningFate]

I have a problem now. I installed the googlemaps on a trial basis for a little while to see if it is what we like and need. Well we do like it a lot. However now I go to view the maps. And I get the page with the links at the top to add a marker and the about VBgooglemap, but the map itself does not show up.

I have tried to renew my key from google and that still didn't help. Even reinstalled VBgooglemaps and nothin.

Any suggestions?

J.T.

[stwilson]

I am having the exact same problem. Everything installed and configured without issue. I can even add new points but the nap never shows, just a gray box where the map would be. I have double checked my map key and it is all correct. Has anyone else solved this?

Great work ! Thanks !

Now my question:

Is it possible to integrate a circle like that :
