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 !!!!!!!

Hey there, Stonyarc,

Great product.

Just an FYI, your version # didn't change in the xml...I edited it from 1.0.3 to 1.0.4 so it displays right.

One question though, is there a way to have multiple starting maps?

Perhaps map categories with different zooms etc?

Some of the maps I need are VERY local, and some are very far apart. It would be nice to have separate maps or, at least separate lat/long with zooms.

Thanx again!

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet or not but I would love to have the ability to create URL paths to different Map Marker setups. There are multiple ways I can use this great mod on my site but it would be a mess to show them all at once. My site is limited to the state of North Carolina and currently I am showing the location of site "blog reports". I'd like to be able to show boat ramp locations also and then be able to create a html link to both of those map marker configurations ("Blog Reports" link/"Boat Ramp" link). I hope I'm making sense here. Thanks again for a great vb addon!

What I mean is that currently, there are coloured markers on the map for each category and the coloured flags are displayed along the top in the "HSE Dashboard". It would be great if clicking on one of these categories would highlight only the items matching that category on the map and hide the others. Perhaps you could add a "show" label to the front of these the also include another category for "show all", which would possibly be the default display.

I agree, but I would also like to make a marker a member of multiple categories.

im migrating my server currently, and upon doing this i get this error saying "Cannot open XML File"

I tried upgrading and installing the new 1.04 product and that didn't seem to fix things. Any ideas?

Also I noticed in the settings that it still says vbgooglemaps 1.03 and not 1.04. Is that correct (i mean correct that it didn't update the version)? The product says 1.04.

Are the permissions for the spotmarkers.xml file set to 777?
