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 !!!!!!!

I have your Googlemap 2.0.2 installed and working well. I have now installed this on my dev site and the link does not show on my navbar. This is what I have in the navbar template:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="faq.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="5">$vbphrase[faq]</a></td>
		<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="memberlist.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>
<td class="vbmenu_control">
<a href="vbgooglemaphse.php">$vbphrase[googlemaphse]</a></td>
		<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

If I put the URL to vbgooglemaphse.php in the browser it brings it up.
Any ideas please?

Are your sure you haven't put it inside an if statement???

I think I see it

The phrase should be $vbphrase[vbgooglemaphse].

I'll correct the pdf file

Edit it's correct in the pdf. So just put the correct phrase call and it should be fine

[firstrebel]

Checked that. If I change vbgooglemaphse.php to vbgooglemap.php and $vbphrase[googlemaphse] to $vbphrase[googlemap] the link to googlemap 2.0.2 appears. Add the hse to the end again and nothing appears.

Bob

EDIT: Just re-read your post above and noted the comment.

[firstrebel]

Yep, works OK now. Thanks.

Very nice Stony.

At some future point if you have time... With the potential for so many links is there any way to limit the view to one category's worth of markers, with each marker color / category description at the top linked to view that type of marker? Otherwise, my map is just going to end up being a blur of marker color.

Category specific balloon info or limit the view of the info inside the balloon to those fields that are populated?

Strong work.

As with the category filter that is available on the list I'm creating the same for the map markers itself. It will be included in the next major release (minors excluded)

[stonyarc]

I trust the upgrade went well for everybody as I don't see any complaints.

I hope you like the new features like the mouseover.
