VBGooglemap Hotspot Edition 1.0.4
I'm proud to announce that the Hotspot Edition is currently available to you all !!!

This is the port of the VB 3.5.X version (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=114149)

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 !!!!!!!

perfect! thanks!

by the way, I notice that the member edition, which i have also installed, has a cron, but the HSE doesn't. Is this correct? Does it need one?

[saab340]

I have imagetabs with dynamic images, and noticed that everytime page is loaded, all the images has to be loaded first, before they are displayed... any suggestions, how to reduce this load, and only load images when marker is clicked? Right now I have 200 markers, and loading 200 images is kind of waste of bandwith....

Loaded it, and it worked first time out of the box! Very impressed, and very easy to use. Now is it possible to reduce the width of the map very slightly? You know what us designer types are we like it all to line up nicely. Its not desporate but it would be nice.

Normally you can set the width in the options

[the2cv]

I have set the site wide width to 790 px but the map appears wider, there isn't a width setting I can find for the map itself.

Link to the page I mean.

Would love to install it, but this came up during install:

A conflict was detected in the bitfields. You cannot continue with the installation of this product until this has been fixed. The conflicts found were:

• Bitfield Collision: canadminvbgooglemaphse = canadminvbjournal

What do I have to do?
