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

I read this post on the other thread

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=500

The only bit I was interested in was finding this bit

if ($get_xml_marker["pimage"]!='')
{
$pimage = $get_xml_marker["pimage"];
}
else
{
$pimage = $bburl."/images/googlemapme/noimage.png";
}

and changing it to this

if ($get_xml_marker["pimage"]!='')
{
$pimage = $bburl."/images/googlemapme/noimage.png";
}
else
{
$pimage = $bburl."/images/googlemapme/noimage.png";
}

Which with my simple understanding of code means that whatever the result of the "if" command it will always insert no image. Effectively ignoring whatever the user might put in the image field. Not exactly elegant but it works for me.

You need to make the same change to both files I did not bother with the other bits and then run the cron thing for good measure (told you I was not very technical)

Hope this helps.

The Entries of the users will not be shown at my map. Instead of showing I got a script error or something like that.

Please take a look at the screenshot.

I installed and everything seemed to work until I entered (my entry) and clicked "Update the information" and got the following error.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL:
SET NAMES 'utf8';

MySQL Error : Unknown system variable 'NAMES'
Error Number : 1193

I appreciate your work. If you have a suggestion when you have some time I'd appreciate it.

same issue here but on 3.5.x

[lovefiat500]

same issue here but on 3.6.8

[kansei]

I'm getting that error a LOT, and even with the google maps mod disabled. It seems as though it is related to using an ancient version of mysql.

do a google search on this "SET NAMES 'utf8';" stuff comes up.
