VBGooglemap Hotspot Edition 1.0.4
I'm proud to announce that the Hotspot Edition is currently available to you all !!!

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 !!!!!!!

Do not translate the application without prior explicit written permission.

Am I allowed to translate it for my board into German?

[thisgeek]

It would be great if you were able to specify the size of the map in the admincp like you can for the ME version.

I just installed the vbgooglemap2.5.2 on my 3.6.2 version. Allappears to work well until I click on insert the information to add my listing.

The error that appears is "Cannot open XML File". Can you please assist. I looks at all the files and they are set to 777

[myplacidcasual]

1. Is it possible to increase the size of the google window (either by editing a file or a setting somewhere)

2. Any possibility that a later release will allow you check and uncheck categories making them either appear or disappear on the map.

3. Is it possible to search for a street.

Any update to when the geo version will be released or addon (ZIP CODE)

[TorGa3iGhT]

so I'm having a problem with this one...

i have two databases, each with a separate copy of vbulletin installed. I instlaled this onto my test server, and uploaded all the files to that corresponding forum folder titled "testvb3". After installing everything, I go to click on any of the 4 main links ([Show Main map][List Elements] [Add Elements] [About vbgooglemap] ), and it points to my /forum folder on my server rather than "testvb3", which is where all the files are.

is there somewhere I can change it to look in that folder? or was it default set to look for those files in /forum?

[TorGa3iGhT]

ok, nevermind....i found the $bburl in the templates to fix that problem, but it doesn't save any markers added, so I give up....there's some other template problems too, but yeah, it's a good idea, but messing all sorts of stuff up on my test server...

Is there no more support for this hack?

[Freddofrog]

I have checked documentation and can't seem to find an easy method for adding and editing the marker types eg the colours. I did it in the database. Is there an easier way?

It's a great script Stony, congrats.
