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.x brings you a lot of new features. It?s vital that you uninstall any previous version before upgrading/installing version 2.5.x.

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 3.0.0. 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

Doubt it. It doesn't work properly with 3.6.8 p2.
I pulled it off of one site because I got tired of getting error messages.
I need to pull it down from another site too.

It's a shame. It was a cool mod.

Works just fine for us in 3.6.8 p2. You have to disable the image functionality and delete any entries that input image info and is causing it to break.

The only time I can see the markers on my site is after I click [Your Entry] and then update the information - with or without changing anything. My forum members liked this a lot but it is very problematic.

Same problem

[logofreax]

Hi, we have the Problem, that no Pin is shown in our Google Map

http://www.faq4mobiles.de/forum/vbgooglemapme.php

Can somebody tell us, how to fix this Problem?

[towermatt]

Doesn't look like guests can see the map.

Search this thread for information on the "markers" file, you might be able to solve it that way.

[logofreax]

Thanx for the tip.

I resolved our Problem.

At our markers.xml where some Hyperlinks set as the Image.

So I erased them and set it to

pimage="http://www.yourdomain.xx/forum/images/googlemapme/noimage.png" />

and now everthing is working.

Regards
logofreax

[Lombardo]

can someone tell me how to do this please?

Set the file permissions on the marker.xml file to 777
