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:

                "FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post AS post, " . 
                TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user " .
                "WHERE user.userid = post.userid " .
                "AND user.lastpost = post.dateline"

To this:

                "SELECT ipaddress " .
                "FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user"

It would be better to have it use their latest post IP if available, then fall back to their registration IP if they have never posted, but I haven't gotten around to trying to do that yet... Maybe the hack author will.

Has this idea been updated at all? Is it possible to use registration IP's for all members, then update the map location whenever anyone logs on, based on their logon IP? I have some members who travel a lot, and it'd be awesome to see them pop up where they actually are whenever they log on, even if they don't post.

Is this possible?

Thanks! I love this mod.

Really looking forward to using this. Beauty.

I get this same error, even though the wmp.php file is in my cron folder... I'm looking right at it.

What else might I be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Any chance this can show one state is the US? All my members are from PA, so I mainly would like to show the state of PA. Any chance of this doing that or another program?

OK , I fiqured this out .... You only unrar the GeoLiteCity.dat.gz file that extracts the folder called GeoLiteCity.dat that contains the GeoLiteCity.dat that is 26.0 MB (27,304,889 bytes) ... The folder GeoLiteCity.dat is the one you upload to your server ..
