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 !!!!!!!

Am I the only idiot who cannot get it to work?

I've read through the PDF, follow the install procedures and cannot get the control panel to show up in the ACP. I'm running 3.6.0 if that makes any difference.

What other hacks are you running?

You can try a full reinstall. Make sure after an install you do a full refresh of the page.

Did you get the bitfields in the usergroups manager?

Great Mod!! :up:

Three questions?

1. How do I change the size of the maps?

2. Can I change the fields name or add or remove fields. for example. Change "small text" to "something"

3. In the element list, can I add a search option. Like search all the maps listed by "username"

Thank you!

Edit : looked into this

vbgooglemaphse_admin.php says its for VBGooglemap Hotspot Edition admin 1.0.1 by StonyArc for 3.5.x ??

and same with vbgooglemaphse.php

Is this correct??

[Parture]

I upgraded to 3.6.0. My hse didn't recognize my key. Then I clicked on "update" under "General Settings". Then I went to see if it would would work and it did.

Also, I forgot that code I am suppose to put in the postbit to link to our hotspot.

Hi,

Excellent feature!!!

If you look here (http://www.defend.net/deluxeforums/v...7.03125&zoom=5) under the text field, you'll see that stripslashes needs to be utilized.

Also, I added an element. I then created a category. I tried to edit the element to add it into my new category but there is no text box to enter it into.

Also, is it possible that a user type in an address to show the location on the map?

Thanks again for your hard work!!!!

Tim

I think I figured it out:

<if condition="$post[fieldXX]">
<a href="$post[fieldXX]" target=”_self”><font size="1">$post[username]’s location</font></a>
</if>
