INSTALL

HOTSPOT EDITION AVAILABLE ON : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114149
Detailed installation instructions and screenshots in the included pdf file.

Current Features

NOTE:
VBGooglemap 3.0.0 contains the vulnerability fix. Please upgrade immediately. Version 3.0.0. also contains all features from 2.5.X

As always you use modifications at your own risk.

VBGooglemap Member Edition 2.5.1 brings you a lot of new features. It?s vital that you uninstall any previous version before upgrading/installing version 2.5.1.

Upgrading from version 2.5.0 is easier. Instruction are available in the guide.

As the uninstall function will not remove your googlemap data in the database but only the templates and files you can safely remove an older version. As a precaution you should always take a backup. This should be done on each major change you make to your bulletin board.

IF YOU ARE RUNNING VERSION 1.0.3, 2.0.X AND YOU CHANGED TEXT DIRECTLY IN THE TEMPLATES YOU NEED TO SAVE YOUR CHANGES AS VERSION 2.5.0 REQUIRES YOU TO UINSTALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS.

This has taken quite some work and still will take a lot more. Please give credit where credit is due. You cannot remove any notice without prior written permission.

Special

A googlemap key is only valid for a specific domain. You'll need a specific google account to create one.
All is explained on the googlemap link indicated above.
- Set the file permissions on the marker.xml file to 777
- The googlemap script can handle non-registered users. They will only see the main map and won't be able to enter information. This is reserved for logged in users (detected automatically)
- usergroup permissions are available in the backend
- To change location just drag the map while holding the left mouse key or by using the zoom and key functions on the left
- First time loading of the map may take a few seconds longer because of Google API hosting

Will this change wipe out what your current users have input?

In my files?

Well if you remove this bit from the product XML file I've uploaded, then absolutely not as it won't touch either the database or markers file:

Code:

	<codes>
		<code version="1.0.3">
			<installcode><![CDATA[$db->hide_errors();
$db->query_write("
	
CREATE TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "googlemap (
  mapid int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  userid int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  username varchar(50) NOT NULL default '',
  usergroupid int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  text_map text NOT NULL,
  lat_map varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  lng_map varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
  PRIMARY KEY  (mapid),
  KEY userid (userid),
  KEY username (username)
) ");

]]>
		</installcode>
		</code>
	</codes>

If you leave that in... well, I don't know, maybe it will error. All I have done is modify the HTML in the templates and phrases... if you're feeling paranoid you can copy those manually over the ones you already have

If you can be a bit patient, I'm integrating buro 9's changes.

As long as you don't mess with the DB everything will remain stable.

I'll release a consolidated version ASAP (I'm in the middle of a move).

So expect it December 15 or so.

Edit:

Please don't install the buro 9 changes now. The XML contains a few minor issues

Code:

//]]></script>

Should be

Code:

//]]</script>

There are several occurences. The XML import will fail otherwise.

Why is my map showing up like this?

Tulsa · #**406** 12-01-2005, 03:30 AM

I think I'll just sit tight and have another margarita while I wait for mid December....

Interesting... the 'fix' isn't valid:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8

Quote:

In XHTML, the script and style elements are declared as having #PCDATA content. As a result, < and & will be treated as the start of markup, and entities such as < and & will be recognized as entity references by the XML processor to < and & respectively. Wrapping the content of the script or style element within a CDATA marked section avoids the expansion of these entities.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<![CDATA[
... unescaped script content ...
]]>
</script>

If that breaks vBulletin import, then vBulletin has a bug with the correct method.

In which case all commenting of script tags should use the HTML4 method as the XHTML Transitional doctype still allows it:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
 ... unescaped script content ...
// -->
</script>

I agree,

Maybe something we need to report.

Hello Chadi,

This happens when you have an image map on you page with the name or id "map" which is also the div ID for the googlemap.

Just rename your image map (probably in your header) and the problem should be fixed.

I'm having a problem with the popup bubble. It is much too wide and appears broken. A pic is attached below.

I suspect that the code causing this is the following code located in VBGooglemap_display_map

Code:

var content = "<div align=\"center\"><strong>"+ title +"</strong></div>" + "<hr width=\"100\"/><div align=\"center\" style=\"width: 20em\">" + text +"</div>";

I have tried to figure out how to change the code to make the bubble appear normal but haven't been able to.

Can anyone tell what is wrong?
