Detailed installation instructions and screenshots in the included pdf file.

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 2.5.1 brings you a lot of new features. It?s vital that you uninstall any previous version before upgrading/installing version 2.5.1.

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 2.5.0 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.

Thank you, installed and working like a charm!

I am currently changing the code so that online user's are highlighted instead of different colors for usergroups. I'll post the code if you want me to.

That would be nice. I have that on the todo list but if you are writing the code (shouldn't be that hard) you can always post so I can add it as a standard feature (race you for it

)

Is it better to add a special cricle on those that are online? So that both are combined.

MrNase · #**744** 04-11-2006, 09:41 PM

The code itself is done.. I am using my method because I don't have any moderators and I don't want to have another color as an administrator.

Editing your code I've found out some possible errors:

Here's the part I am talking about:

PHP Code:


			
if (($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==6)OR($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==7)OR($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==5))
    
    {

         if (($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==6))
        {
           $type = $coloradmin ;
           }
        if (($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==7))
        {
           $type = $colormod ;
           }
           if (($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==5))
        {
           $type = $colorsupermod ;
           }

    }
    else
    {
    $type = $colorother;
    }

I am not quite sure but I _think_ it must be this instead:

PHP Code:


			
    if (($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==6)OR($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==7)OR($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==5))
    
    {

         if (($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==6))
        {
           $type = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_coloradmin'] ;
           }
        if (($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==7))
        {
           $type = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_colormod'] ;
           }
           if (($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==5))
        {
           $type = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_colorsupermod'] ; 
           }

    }
    else
    {
    $type = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_colorother'] ;
    }

And here is what I did to only show online users in another color:
The new query (line 94)

PHP Code:


			
$selection_xml = TABLE_PREFIX . "googlemap.lng_map as lng, ". TABLE_PREFIX ."googlemap.lat_map as lat, 
".TABLE_PREFIX."googlemap.text_map as text, ".TABLE_PREFIX."googlemap.userid as userid, 
".TABLE_PREFIX."googlemap.username as login,".TABLE_PREFIX."googlemap.usergroupid as displayusergroupid,
". TABLE_PREFIX ."online.userid as isonline";
$get_xml_users = $db->query_read("SELECT ".$selection_xml." 
                            FROM `".TABLE_PREFIX."googlemap`
                            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session AS online ON(online.userid = googlemap.userid)
                            WHERE lng_map<>'' AND lat_map<>''");

and some lines below it (106):

PHP Code:


			
    /*
    if (($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==6)OR($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==7)OR($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==5))
    
    {

         if (($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==6))
        {
           $type = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_coloradmin'] ;
           }
        if (($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==7))
        {
           $type = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_colormod'];
           }
           if (($get_xml_user["displayusergroupid"]==5))
        {
           $type = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_colorsupermod'];
           }

    }
    else
    {
    $type = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_colorother'];
    }
*/
if ($get_xml_user["isonline"])
{
$type = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_coloradmin'] ;
}
else {
$type = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_colorother'];
}

I commented your code out so that I can easily change it back.
The last 7 lines basically tell to use the color specified for the admin when a user is online (red in my case) and gray when the user is offline.
So far I could only test it with 2 users, future will tell how this performs.

stonyarc · #**745** 04-11-2006, 09:47 PM

Nice work.

I hadn't even started

I'll run some tests to make sure it performs like it should.

What I want to do is put a little marker on the map where the user is online but that can be done starting from this code.

the vars like $colorsupermod are set on top of the file grouped with all other vars just to make some cleaner code

PHP Code:


			
$zoomlevel = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'zoomlevel', TYPE_UINT);

$zoomlevel = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_zoom'];

$googlekey = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_key'];

$dlat = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_lat'];

$dlng = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_lng'];

$textchars = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_ltext'];

$gmtexttablewidth = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_tabletext'];

$gmavatartablewidth = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_avatar'];

$gmavatar = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_enable_avatar'];

$coloradmin  = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_coloradmin'];

$colorother  = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_colorother'];

$colorsupermod  = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_colorsupermod'];

$colormod = $vbulletin->options['vbgooglemap_colormod'];

I can include the online status in the marker file (little rewrite needed in the javascript parsing but that's ok). Thus avoiding messing with the usergroup codes. That way we can easily add something on the map or on the balloon.

I'll check what I can come up with.

It's 1 AM over here so I'm off to bed

MrNase · #**746** 04-11-2006, 09:55 PM

Did you know that your marker on the screenshot is placed in Germany? It seems to be only 100 kilometres away from my location!

aaah it's also 1AM for me.. I'm off.

Do whatever you want but keep up this good work!

I need to install it on my test server. In the code I don't see anything that might be causing that problem except maybe the window.onload javascript.

Do you have any other image maps running on your vba site????

um no not that i am aware of....but if you would like to check....i can pm you my login info....

oh and yes i am up and running....haven't tried with vba since the upgrade....i will

Wierd... I finally got it to work but using http://IP/. :banana: I know I tried that same thing about a dozen times last night and never got it to work. Hmm... should I risk jumping to 2.0.1? :cheeky:

bigtomisin · #**749** 04-11-2006, 11:00 PM

why does my googlt map say i dont have permission to view?

Tyegurl · #**750** 04-11-2006, 11:02 PM

you haven't edited usergroup permissions yet

Cajun · #**751** 04-11-2006, 11:11 PM

I am using vb 3.5.4 and vba 2.1.0 and the marker will not show on the map page and it also shows no users.

Now I can see my marker on the Your Entry page.

Anyone know what could cause this?
