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

Any thoughts? ANy help is much appreciated...

By chance, are you running this with VBSEO? Are you on Linux or Windows?

OKay!!

I have read maybe 60 pages in here and have NOT found a straight working answer for this problem.

I have a clean install of newest version.
Followed all steps to a tea!
When I add my entry or when users add there entry, we all get Must have all fields marked...
You press back and all fields ARE marked. You can repeat this as many times as you like, but keep getting the fields are blank message.

I have refreshed all pages, ran the scheduled task with a done msg, tryied in both Fox and IE...

Apart from that, all seems fine.. In adminCP settings seem fine, map is online, etc etc

2 new DB are there in phpmyadmin with one entry registered which is the google key I assume.
Chmod has been done and verified 777 with special permissions also.

HELP!

hi, i have installed all the files for my VB3.5.4 but the menu does not appear on the left hand side after i install the xml file.

I did a Search thread query and came up with nothing, but thought I'd just mention this in case other members ran across this as well. I'm not really having a problem. I've only noticed that when I go to[List users] and then Edit anyone's information, I see Delete your information [] Delete the marker information. Clicking this checkbox and then Update the information doesn't delete the user's marker that you are wanting to delete. It deletes your own :P
Just in case. It may not happen to you, but it did to me lol. No biggie, just a head's up.

Great hack, installed and all work fine except on member that has an apostrophe in thier username, they get an SQL error when posting. I tested this out with a user called test'user and I get the same error. Can this be resolved?
