Vbulletin World Map System

Vbulletin World Map Plotting System
Show Your Guest/Members From All Over The World !!!

Summary:

The core of this system I developed approximately 3 years ago but was unable to practically distribute it on vborg due to the fact the GEOIP City Database was a very expensive software product; and it is needed to map IP Addresses to Global Lat/Lon Coordinates.

With the recent availability of a "Lite" version of the City Database I have decided to build from the ground up a new hack that utilizes it to display 2 map structures.

1. Plots Your Current Members/Guest Online available on the Whos Online Page.
2. Plots Your Registered Members last known Coordinates on the Member List Page.
3. Coordinates are calculated from IP Addresses stored in your Forums Database.

Features:

• Automatic & Accurate plotting of your Guest & Members on the WorldMap.
• WorldMap Page to view Both Maps, added to your navbar.
• Enable WOL, Member Plotting Independently
• Control Panel Options
• Specify Plotting Image Type, Size, Color
• Specify Opaque, Alpha Transparency
• Support for Payed Full Version of City Database
• Updates on Scheduled Task Interval
• Map is shown small and expands on Mouseover, then contracts back.

Instructions:

1. Download Zip File
2. Read INSTALL.TXT
3. Run the crontask manually the first time, so it will generate your images.
4. Click Install if you like it

Updates:
3/14/2006 - Forgot to uncomment keep-alive code.
3/12/2006 12:54pm -
1. Added a new Realistic World map
2. Configuration Editor partially remade, allows easier selection of Maps.
3/8/2006 11:35pm - Added a worldmap.php Page, for viewing both maps.
3/8/2006 9:52am - Fixed the jpeg output problem.

Note:

The GEOIP Binary Database can be located here:

It also appears in a template that the hack adds - "wmp_maps", I've just tried changing it in that template and that seems to work.

I'm really not trying to be insulting but the download and uncompressing of the geo data are probably the most straightforward aspects of getting this hack to work.

However if you are still wishing to go ahead with it I would suggest you contact MaxMind - they are the people responsible for that file not the creator of this hack.

I've installed hacks before with no problem. And I followed everyones directions but the only .dat file I get is one with 0 bytes. It would be nice if someone could send it to my email afterlifex@gmail.com or at least put the file somewhere where I can download it. I tried extracting with five different programs, they all produce the same results can someone help me? All I need is this file.

Don't think so. But then again I don't know what neither are.

easiest thing would be to uninstall this... we have told you how to do it... its not like its that hard ... drag and drop its very simple really... Conqsoft i dont think he would know that he more then likely dont have root access server level... esp if he dont know how to drag and drop...
