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.

I am using the member version of this mod. Is there any way to put in admin assigned markers for local sights of interest for my community?

Thanks!

[TerryMason]

Thanks again to Stonyarc for this mod, and ZeroHour for the fix that worked perfectly!

Hello,

I've tried to buy unbranded version, or have this custom to our needs. No response from StonyArc. We have budget for someone to code and install a nice map in our forum. You can see my mod post here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=185169

Would like to use this one but need an unbranded version and the menu on the rigth moved below the map. I wish we could get some response. Our Alumni and the University would love this.

Regards,
MR

I'm having the same problem. The marker shows up in the Your Entry page, but doesn't show on the main map page. I read and re-read the directions, so I'm not sure what's happening.

FYI - I haven't had time to investigate the cause, but disabling the mouseover support seems to have fixed the no-marker issue. If I have time, I'll try to look into fixing the code so that enabling it doesn't break it, but this may help a few people who ran into the same problem as I did.

I YAWL would bother to read the thread - you will see that the markers not showing on 3.6.8 - 3.7.x is a KNOWN ISSUE - unfortunately the mod author is not supporting it.

I DID read the thread (100+ pages of it, thankyouverymuch), and the fixes that were suggested did not work. Which is why I posted my own. Don't be rude.

[PoetJA-1975]

I'm not being rude - I'm simply telling you that you're wasting your time if you think the author of the modification is gonna come out of his slumber and help you or anyone else resolve THE SAME ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN POSTED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN regarding the markers not showing correctly. In fact the issue was reported months ago - In this thread and in the 3.6 thread as well. So whatever...

I do think (for your information) that there may be some sort of resolution posted in the 3.6 thread - But if you're running 3.7 good luck...
