Vbulletin World Map System · **Released**: 03-07-2006

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:

Anyone know why it only shows 3 of my 65 members?

I just finish installing this hack, it looks good.
I just have a question, how to get the map one image size from the code it self and not mouse over like it is now.

PS nice hack btw

rareclownfish,

Adjust map size to 1080 instead of the default 750 in the vbulletin options for the map.

zylstra · #**355** 04-26-2006, 10:23 AM

The mod is nice! Thanks.

Some cool upgrades to this mod may be sunlight shading. Another one is alt tags (with imagemap) for member name when the member's dot is moused over.

But perhaps a more easy mod to implement would be a city name next to the member's name on the whosonline page and the member's city in their profile.

How can I make a permanent 900?

Resize the map that you decide to use (in your maps/ folder) with a local graphics app. Actually come to think of it this probably doesn't work. Can't help ya.

As long as members can opt-out that sounds good. Some people like/love their privacy and it should be honored, otherwise that's a good idea

What exactly does the "START OPTIONAL" section in the instructions do?

It doesn't give any information...

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
