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

- Read the attached PDF for more information. The pdf is also included in the zip file.
- You'll need a googlemap key for your domain. Get your own key for your domain view http://www.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html for more information.
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

maybe this has already been suggested, but could you make it so we can add locations that aren't users (like say the location of the server) or allow certain usergroups to have more than one entry?

As ig@r said,

There is a full version in dev now.

The link he gave you is for you all to participate in design of the features.

I find it amazing the audacity of some people

http://www.thunderbirdnest.com/forums/VBGooglemap.php

Just as if they created it themselves they not only bluntly removed the reference to my work but even replaced it with their own.

Some people wonder why coders start to go commercial.

I have 151 users on my googlemap page here, yet refreshing the page doesn't always show all 151 users. Additionally, a former super mod is still listed as such on the map (Rody; he's in the Netherlands), and none of my regular mods are shown for some reason.

There is no direct link yet so the users has to click update on his entry once if the usergroup changes.

As for the moderators, they should be mod as primary usergroup.

Can you please check?

Are they not listed as normal users?

[Omega Prime]

I do have them as a primary usergroup, yet I still don't see them listed. Also, is there any idea about how come refreshing the page sometimes doesn't show all users? I sometimes don't even see myself there (I'm in Rhode Island), so I dunno if it's a glitch in the program or the browser I use (firefox).

If they are part of the standard groups everything should work out fine. Can you make sure the primary group is the standard and then it should be fine.

Imported from where?

My supermods managed to get around it by simply updating their entries. My imported admin usergroup (imported from UBB) are still listed as normal members, though.

Starting from 150 + the script does take some time to place all the markers. The faster your server the faster it should go.

But there is a clear volume warning in the main page.

Can the mods see their "your entry" page and they taken to the update or insert page?

Can you please check what ID your moderator group is ?
