VBGooglemap Hotspot Edition 1.0.4
I'm proud to announce that the Hotspot Edition is currently available to you all !!!

Function
The vbgooglemap Hotspot Edition is a design from StonyArc (http://www.stonyarc.com). It allows you to create and maintain a whole range of elements like landmarks, places to visit or even people. The application is fully manageable from the control panels. Each specific category can have a specific colour code. The configuration is done by the administrator. He or she can edit/approve/add catogories name it, it's there.
Clicking on a marker will open a small balloon with some essential elements for that spot and an image in the second tab. For each marker on the map there is also a full details page including support for the vbulletin full editor (wysiwyg) so additional information and images can be added.

Use the menus to navigate through all the functions.

Vbgooglemap Hotspot Edition is ideal for handling landmarks, travel, events or even giving your users their own page.


Don't forget to hit install !!!!!!!

Added a couple of markers with no problems, but had this database error after one of my members tried to add one :-

It's a single quote issue.

The update will be online in 5 min


Hello,

some people reported insert error on the vbgooglemap HSE.

I build in an extra check

Please upgrade to version 1.0.1 to fix the issue

To upgrade only overwrite the vbgooglemaphse.php and reupload the product xml with overwrite to yes.


Thank you

[TTG]

thanks for the quick update


would it be possible to make the info come up as you scroll over a marker ?

You want it as an option or as a standard feature.

Both are possible.

Just let me know

EDIT 1

You can test it on http://www.stonyarc.com/forums/vbgooglemaphse.php

It's operational and fully manageable in the backend enable disable option.

option for me .. might create problems if there are loads of markers in close proximity.
Thanks

[MissKalunji]

would there be a way to link it trough the calendar? like

If someone adds an event in a certain calendar it creates it automatically in the map?

Thanks

Well someone has to define where the event is.

It's very easy to link to the map once the marker is set. Just go to the list or details page and copy the URL (shortcut) of the "show on map".

That will directly link to a location on the map.

Auto create from within calendar isn't possible as you don't know the coordinates of the event.

I also would like the marker hover feature as an admin controlled option.

So, stonyarc, you're saying there's already a switch for this somewhere?
