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.

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

Go to the user Zimtok and in the text field remove the double quotes around his Z

I see a tick box, a pen symbol and an X . . . what do I do next ?

[AndyA]

Aha, figured it out, thanks for your help.

Will you let me know if you release an update ? :nervous:

Testing the updated script now to correct the single and double quote issue.

Quick fix

Add

	
$texte = str_replace( '"', '', $texte );
$texte = str_replace( '\'', '', $texte );

To the replace_accent function in VBGooglmap.php or Install version 1.0.1

Don't forget to restart your browser or clear your cache before testing the updated version

Can we just upload the new VBGooglmap.php?

[stonyarc]

Just add it below

$texte = str_replace( '&', ' ', $texte );

You can also download the zip-file and use FTP to overwrite the VBGooglemap.php. This might be easier.

Yep that is the cleanest way.
I just started looking at the Firefox issue now. This type of issues is why I really wanted it to be released in beta. I'm sure you all will tell me when it's ready for full release.

If I click http://www.steelernation.com/forums/VBGooglemap.php

I get the "Cannot open XML File error" that is due to permissions

[Colejo]

I finally installed it. Thanks.
