INSTALL

HOTSPOT EDITION AVAILABLE ON : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114149
Detailed installation instructions and screenshots in the included pdf file.

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
- TBD

Volume warning

high volume of users may slow down the load. Currently a load counter is included.

Languages

Thanks to Wachtmeister there is a German translation available to you all. Feel free to use it.

The translation will be updated on each new version.

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

Special Xbox Live version

to:

PHP Code:


			
$usergroupid = $vbulletin->userinfo['displaygroupid'];

This value is set by vbulletin to either the displaygroupid (if a member has specified one), otherwise it will be set to the primary usergroupid. Would you expect this to work for new entries?

Perhaps this is something that could be switchable in a future version?

Should be default

I like this "version".

I've got some questions / probs:

1. an selectet image @ the marker does make some probs!
Every image is gonna to be stretched to the maximum width =>
even the marker gets very big if an user have an small ava wich is very long!
try the attached image => i get with that image an error!

2. where can i set the legend (usergroupid) on and off?
or can this just be done @ the Hotspot Edition

3. the link @ the admincp (support) does redirect to your Hotspot Edition
is this correct?

4. whats about the online-view?
@ my board it does not show if an user is on or offline!
have i to do some differnet changes to get this work?

1. I'm aware of that issue but that's being fixed in the next update
2. you can set that when you edit the usergroup in admincp (show on legend YES NO)
3. typo => next version ok
4. as I had to make a compromise between load times on the main map (lot's of queries) and the showing of online information. I selected the option to minimize the load. As the online real time information on the map was the online information that had to go. The markers.xml file is now only updated by the Cron or by a update/insert of new information. There are enough places in vbulletin where online information is shown.

thanks for the info!

one more question:
at the map-overview ... on the right =>
there are some statistics:
"Loaded: X of X"
(in xml-file on line 696)

Code:

document.getElementById('loadingMessage').innerHTML= "<b>Loaded: " + max + " of " + markers.length +"</b>" ;

is it possible to phrase this out:

Code:

document.getElementById('loadingMessage').innerHTML= "<b>$vbphrase[vbgooglemapme_load]: " + max + " $vbphrase[vbgooglemapme_of] " + markers.length +"</b>" ;

It's not even neccesary, but it would be fine

Hi,

(Version: 2.5.1)

I get an "Warning" when I run the cron file... can you tell me why and how to fix that?

Also in : [Your entry] the text link by the bottom is linked to ... vbgooglemap.php should be vbgooglemapme.php

To link to your location just copy the correct string and use it in your signature, profile or on your website. You can use any other image you want between the links or just use a small text. To return to the map click here

Code:

Thanks.

Thats normally solved by uploading the product again. You can try doing it ASCII mode.

I also included some changes in the cron so that this non blocking error will occur no longer in some cases

The typo is corrected for the next release.

Hi stonyarc,

Ok, I reinstalled it and same thing. I uploaded the files in ASCII mode... I still get the "Warning: Cannot modify header information", any sugestions?

Thanks

You can edit the php file remove the header changing info. It's not needed in the function.

As it's a warning in the scheduled task you can safely ignore it. I won't affect any functions.

The new release will correct this issue for all. I have the same warning on my server so don't worry too much.

Just to let you know that the xbox live version I made specially for my site already monitors more than 500 gamers now
