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 !!!!!!!

Anyone have any clues as to what stwilson and I are experiencing with the map being completely gone?

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?

Well, since I cannot get this one to actually work???? Everything looks fine but no actual map tiles in the map itself. I'm not sure if it is this scrip being impacted by another MOD or what? Not much support for this MOD of late, so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. Any suggestions? By the way, thanks for your reply.

Anyone interested in installing and getting this to work on my site for a fee?

I'll trouble shoot it if I can get an admin account... I haven't seen all your issues though. PM me and I'll mess with it this weekend.

Shot you a PM. Thanks for offering to help.

Did you get it sorted?

[RedefiningFate]

Nope...there is no support for this product anymore...

Folks, I found in my custom skin, it was not working because there was a missing closed HTML tag... Take a close look at header and footer (good start point) and make sure for every starting tag there is a closed one.

Once you get them fixed, it will work. HTML Validators may help but may not catch everything.

I have already installed the Member Edition, it works fine.

But now, when I try to install the HSE in the same vB, the following error appears:

Bitfield Collision: canadminvbgooglemaphse = canadminvbgooglemapme

I also searched this forum, but found nothing about this mistake.

Did anyone work out how to fix this
