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 !!!!!!!

What browser are you using? I could not get vbGooglemap ME edition to show up in FF but it shows of in IE7 just fine.

I'm on IE7. Still not luck. Sure wish this MOD was better supported. I plan to disble some of my other mods to see if it is a conflict between MODS. Ay other suggestions are very appreciated.

[bplinson]

This is crazy. Stoneyarc wants $30.00 to remove the branding but does not answer messages. Anyone know what happened to this guy?

Even the website where he says the software is supposedly licensed at doesn't exist. creativecommons.org

[RedefiningFate]

It's hitting a point where I am going to uninstall this because it A) doesn't seem supported and B) Doesn't want to work properly...I have been watching this thread for the past few days and have no answer on any of our issues that stwilson and I are having...

Maybe you should ask for a refund.

Thanks for your input however inappropriate it is...I have a problem as well as someone else and this is the answer we get...thanks...

Anyone else have any legitimate answers that could help us out?

[stwilson]

I agree. I really wish I could get this to work but I am not making any progress. I have played around without any success. I get everything to load normally but the actual map tiles. Go figure.

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

Yes, you can setup group permissions from the admin console. This mod adds an extra section into the group editing page that allows you to switch the mod on/off for each group to allow or deny access, as well as many other settings such as the ability to add and edit markers.

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

For me, this version works fine in 3.6.4 and on my test server on 3.6.5. Therefore is a new version really needed?
