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.

Special

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

I'm now on 1.0.1

1.0.2 is a performance release

1.0.3 is feature release

Just check the first post of this thread (with a lot of green in it)

[Holidazed]

Well, I just downloaded the file again in the first post and re-uploaded it (allowing for overwrite) and it says it is now currently running v1.0.0.

Where do I get v1.0.1? Well, it does not really matter since I am need v1.0.3 to get the color thing. I will wait patiently, thank you.

Just to let you know that version 1.0.2 is almost finished.

If you see the first reply you can see the done.

What I changed

- Special character in XML issue is now no longer handled when creating the XML but on initial insert in DB
- Query performance (thanks for the tip)
- You marker once set will also appear on the small map. (I'm looking to add drag functionality but that's not an easy one)

Any other feature requests other than the known ones?

[pgowder]

1. Ability to upload a photo
2. Have the points automactially placed--have the map read from the DB.
