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 !!!!!!!

Here's my suggestions for improving an excellent product ...

1. After adding an element the map redirects back to the main map. I think the redirect page should be a choice of either back to the Main Map, Add Elements or Forums. People who are adding elements do not want the hassle of returning from the main map all the time.

2. Users can't edit their markers - this should be changed. When I edit their markers my user name comes up on the marker which makes it look like I am stealing a member's glory. It would also be handy to be able to give marker-editing permission to certain members as per the forum threads.

3. Easily editable fields for the marker box would be handy. Many people would need a way to catalogue markers into country and states etc so they can be easily filtered when there is a lot of them. eg if someone only wants to see markers in Texas, USA. I think drop down menus in the marker box for countries and their states would be the only way to do this, a big job but a huge step forward in functionality.

Would be keen to hear if you are installing these features - I was considering employing someone to make the changes, as author of the script do you think it would be possible to make such changes easily?

Matt

The German Translation is wrong for 3.6.2

Is the markers.xml chmod'd to 777?

Is it possible to view the unregistered users ? this must be by ip i guess.

Apologies if this has been asked before:

Can you run the Hotspot edition and Member edition simultanously?

[Freddofrog]

Looks like support for this MOD has dried up - does anyone know of any similar scripts that run on the Google engine?

[firefox100]

Doesn't work in Iexplorer, the marks that I entered cannot be seen. In Firefox works well.
