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.

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

this is my problem too....he is looking into it i have 3.5.4 and vba myself

How do we get our Avatars to show up? My Avatars are about 150 lengthwise. Is that why they don't show up?

Are you sure that you uploaded all the files in the upload folders.

It seems that your bitfields aren't correctly set.

Please upload all files and make sure you follow the instructions in the PDF file.


Moreover watch out with the case of the file name it's all lower now.

/admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields can help to if the bitfield file is in the /includes/xml but that is normally automatic

If you are running the avatars from the filesystem you need to disable avatar support in the backend options or move your avatars to the database system.

I'm looking for a fix for that one.

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

Anyone know what could cause this?

Make sure you run it on the forum.

Can you post an accessible link so I can check?
