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

It's working on our forum...except we're running into one snag.

The individual that installed this mod initially shows up fine on the map. Now I've gone in (another admin) and added my information. I approved my addition and now I show up in the user list along with the initial person. However, I'm not showing up on the map. The first person is showing up though.

Forgive me if this was something that was covered in the past 100 something pages. if so, please point me to the post.

Anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: I tried removing the $footer in the main template for this mod and it didn't change anything.

EDIT2: not sure what happened, but it's there now.

Does it take some time to show up?

Hi,

I have version 3.6.5 and vbadvanced. I uploaded the files and st permission to 777. Step 5 says that there should appear a vbgoolemap ME link in the admin on the left side in the navigation.

I cant see it even when I press refresh...does anybody has an idea what I am doing wrong???

[Bass Nutz]

I have it set up, and there's a link on my navibar, but I can't click it. Is there an easy fix for this, did I do something wrong?

Can I set the "Marker Text" field not be required?

[Kahuna900]

Actually, I found the check in the .php file and removed it.

Hi, i'm very interested in install this hack, but i don't know about security risks and also see many people with problems to make it work.
Is it right?

[AScherff]

Hi,

we use this great plugin and it is working fine ( good job).

Just the Link to a users map does not work..

for example this link shows only standard coordinates and zoomlevel set in Admin.

What happen ??

Thanks

Alfred

[AScherff]

so i found out looking at code...

i added:

if ( isset($_GET['lng']) && !empty($_GET['lng']) && isset($_GET['lat']) && !empty($_GET['lat']) )
{
	$dlng = $_GET['lng'];
	$dlat = $_GET['lat'];
}
if (isset($_GET['zoom']) && !empty($_GET['zoom'])) {
$zoomlevel = $_GET['zoom'];

if ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["lng"]) && !empty($HTTP_GET_VARS["lng"]) && isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["lat"]) && !empty($HTTP_GET_VARS["lat"]) )
{
	$dlng = $HTTP_GET_VARS["lng"];
	$dlat = $HTTP_GET_VARS["lat"];
}
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["zoom"]) && !empty($HTTP_GET_VARS["zoom"])) {
$zoomlevel = $HTTP_GET_VARS["zoom"];
}

}

now it works
