Apologies for the delay in support, everyone. We forgot to add this mod to our Subscriptions, so we did not get alerts for new support threads.

Depending on the server, and your browser: Anywhere between not long and very long

Please post feature requests in our support forums: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/forumdisplay.php?f=204
We cannot look over vBulletin.org threads when planning new versions due to the fact that these threads grow quite large over time

Did you remember to add the hash key before the hex value?
#000000 = correct
000000 = wrong

There is no paid version of this mod

I will set the map so visitors can see the map, then you can look at it. Maybe there is a limit on how many can show.

Can you please provide screenshots of your vBulletin Options configuration?

Also, some members may not be displayed if their IP address cannot be resolved. That is a limitation of PHP that we cannot work around.

Unfortunately, you're incorrect ...

The field accepts entries without a # prefix and works fine for all HTML Hex color codes except "black" or Hex 000000

In fact, if you put a # prefix in front of any Hex code, it truncates the last HEX character, screwing up the color.

For example.

Using FCFF00

If you put a # in front as you suggest, it becomes #FCFF0, cutting off the last HEX 0 character because it counts the # as one of the 6 character input numbers required.

Doug

Looking through the documentation for the pin colors, if you want the pin color to be back, don't enter any color (leave blank) in the setting, Pin Color that is the standard default color.

Installed today. Looks right but I have issues. I read everything here. Users over 14000, Google Chrome, server loaded as usually. How long need to wait to update (approximately?) After few hours showed less than 100 locations. Is it possible to show the most users on map? I know some IP might not have been resolved.

Second issue. Some nicknames changing when I update a website. I have 2 users from Vienna. They change each other after every click refreshing. Why can't be 2 nicknames at the same time if they live in the same location?

Hardly any of our members are showing up, at the moment. Would it be possible to have an option in the ACP settings to set a default location for members whos IP cannot be resolved please?

Also wondered if this is something I have setup wrong or because of the IP thing, I have a some members who are in a different usergroup but they are also in registered users, could this cause issues if both groups are displayed on the map?

Thanks

You can manually run the "Member Map Geolocation" scheduled task to update locations.

Sorry, I don't understand what you're asking.

Please post feature requests in our support forums, as we cannot take feature requests posted on vBulletin.org into consideration for future versions as they will get lost in time

No, that won't cause any issues.
