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.

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

Thanx for this hack - Excellent addition to JPiC Forum For Writers!
Question about the cron... Is this something that I'll have to do manually? If yes - what should be the values to input in the AdminCP ------> Scheduled Tasks -----> Add New Scheduled Task

Thanx in advance for your help - AND thanx to the maker of this hack for such a lovely addition to my forums

Jacquii.

Hello,

Wow, I really like this addition - VBGooglemap Member Addition for vb 3.5.4. I was wondering if you have a branding free option? Can you please provide the details? ie where to pay, how much, etc... And what labeling exactly can be removed.


Thank You,

Nuguru

Look in the 3.6 section. I am currently using it.

[Puntoboy]

Is it possible to add key locations into the map?

IE: I run a Car Owners Club and we have regular meets in locations around the UK< would it be possible to add these locations on the map?

*EDIT*

Ahh I see there is a hotspot edition, is it possible to run both concurrently?

[Ignicoccus]

Is there a possibility to exclude a usergroup from being displayed in the list under the map ?

I really don't want the bannes users group to appear there, even if the do not have the right to use the map.

[Puntoboy]

Great add-on.

All works fine, expect I can't get the 'usergroup legend' icons to work. Any hints?

Thanks

[Protoman]
