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

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 !!!!!!!

Hello

I seem to have a bit of a problem now, All was fine at first, as in makers were showing up no problem and the pop ups, then i had a change of mind so deleted them to start again.

Now when i add a element the flag does not show up on the map also no pop up if you move the mouse about. The elements are there when you list elements and it zooms down to the right place on the map but no flag or pop up.

Now i am getting a error with Internet Explorer it says
Problems with this web page may prevent it being displayed blah blah blah

Line 915
Char. 4
Error: 'documentElement' is null or not an object
Code:0

Don't know if this means anything to anyone.

I have installed and reinstalled and re uploaded all the files again still no joy.

Thanks in advance and thanks for a great hack.

If you reinstall the autoapprove function will probaly not be active. Can you check that in the admincp options. Can you please post a link so that I can have a closer look on the error.

Don't forget the spotmarkers.xml file when uploading and chmod it to 777

Beta,

I send you the solution in PM

I suspect the & in the category name. Edit that one and it should work fine.

I see you're also still on 1.0.3.

Thanks for the quick replies and fix, i took the "&" out of the elements name and hay prestow all the flags appeard on the maps :banana:

Cant understand why is says 1.0.3 because in the plugin admin it says 1.0.4

Just happy that it works again, knew it had to be me as it worked before.

Thank you for your time.

[stonyarc]

The 1.0.3 is a phrase that was put in correctly by me so don't worry.

in the hotspot members (if they have the permission) can add more than 1 marker. hotspot is intended to allow listings of locations and locations can be anything (landmarks, travel destinations, bars, ...)

Member edition is 1 marker 1 users that's it. It's intended to show the location of members and nothing more.

[Zia]

its helps me to take dicission..

gonna remove members edition & will install it

/me kliks install

Stony..

Is it possible to add/change:

* the elements in listed in the bubble (like if I wanted to add... marital status, for example?

* the elements in the detailed section or link it somehow with user profile?

Currently, detail page kinda competes with members profile page... both have similar elements and purposes... to have a profile like page.

As you may know many people are making the profile into a myspace like thing. I think this could be one better---ie: have all the same elements PLUS be mapped on google!! AWESOME!!

I just there was a way to reduce the redundancy.
justmy 2cent.

INCREDIBLE AND AWESOME HACK!! keep up the good work.
