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:

3/12/2006 12:54pm -

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.
I am back... I have one more suggestion that I just did for my site...
Why don't we split the CRON job to two seperate activities? What I did was modified the part of the cron file as in this modification that says:
PHP Code:
// WOL
if ($vbulletin->options['wmp_wol'])
{
$wmp->plot('wol');
$wmp->output();
}
// Members
if ($vbulletin->options['wmp_members'])
{
$wmp->plot('members');
$wmp->output();
}
And I removed the following:
PHP Code:
// Members
if ($vbulletin->options['wmp_members'])
{
$wmp->plot('members');
$wmp->output();
}
Then I created a seperate Cron file where I did the opposite and I saved that as a CRON job!
Now, I have my server generate my Member Map once a day at a slow time (3AM) and the Who's online is generated every 15-minutes. Generating the map of who is online takes much less computing power then the member map!
This looks like a great idea. I do have something to ask though. Is there a way to refresh the Cron for the WOL per page refresh.
Thanks for the mod, it works great! I've got it running in the members area and in the Who's Online. I did take the advice of a few and split the cron job. I have the members map update once a day and the Who's Online map update every minute. I do wish that the dots would show the IP address if you hovered over them.
Could someone please advise me how to uninstall this Mod. I ran it briefly when I had vB 3.8, but after upgrading to vB4 I lost all my links to this mod. I still see it on my vBulletin server directory and would like to remove it the proper way.
