What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified by us whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

New update!

Fixes the map loading for guests, and adds the usergroup ability to allow users to optout or manually set their pin's location by dragging it around, updated with ajax.

As long as can access it set to yes, should work. Being excluded only affects the appearance of your pins. I tested this on 4.2 and it works as described; does it not for you?

In stead of having 1 large map of the world I have 3 small versions

Zoom in a little.

I see some user on the map but not all of which are registered in the settings even though I have "all" set.
the information of a user is difficult to read because the background is white and the writing!, how can I change this?

You might be able to affect some of the maps styling with CSS

Your members' locations need to be resolved with your scheduled task, which will depend on how many members you have and how many users you have it set to process. It runs every 10 minutes by default.

It tries to use http://php.net/manual/en/book.geoip.php if it is installed on your server (which is powered by maxmind)
Otherwise this nice webservice I use hostip.info but that might be less accurate.

If other people have various ideas on determining location automatically (or have other IP resolving services) I will see what I can integrate.

No.

Major problems. When it's on we loose our privet messaging system, and our visitor messages in the profile pages.

When it is working.
Only about 160 of some of the 600+ members are showing up. All the permissions are set to show up on all user groups. The config is set to show ALL members not just active ones. So how do we get them all to show up?
Also is there some way for admins to edit the member locations?

Have either of your installed other addons at the same time as member map? I havent been able to reproduce these errors - and none of the member map code runs during those other pages regardless.

Your members' locations need to load via the scheduled task which runs every 10 mins and processes the amount of users you specify in your settings. Furthermore, not all of your members may have posted which would record their IP address in the system, or their IP address may not have been able to be resolved.

Admins can edit users specifically, but you can enable the ability for members to edit themselves, but they would have to be present and visit the map to do this. Some users may also have opted themselves out.

Your DBTech vBQuiz (Pro Version).

No, that doesn't address the problem I had. Users are showing fine; it's that nobody can view the map unless the admin account is set to be excluded from it.

I have other addons but this was the only install we did. I turned off all other addons but that did not make any difference. It's off currently but as soon as it's turned on the pm system and visitor message goes away. You can access the in box and out box. But the link to send the message under the user name goes away. Not sure why yet.

I do not see any new DB tech tables in the DB. I do have your shout box installed but that is the only tables i see.

Oh one thing I did not notice that you say it's for V4.2.X I'm running V4.1.11. Other then them 2 little things it seems to work and looks great. My problem is we can't update to V4.2 with out a "BUNCH" of work to get our style back up to the standard our members have grown accustom to. Is there some way we can entice you to check compatibility? Or look directly at our site? Http://www.mightyram50.net
Thanks.

The pictures show the diferance. First one map is on. Next it's off.

Installed and upgraded. It looks to be working. Will report back later. Thank You.

Here is what I have now. It is working but it's missing members. Some guys show up then there gone. It's kind of like some of the guys will only show up when on-line, while some are there all the time. Those members can't find them self. I will set the map so visitors can see the map, then you can look at it. Maybe there is a limit on how many can show.
