BB Code Enhancements - Interactive Google Maps In Post

No Google Maps API key, no mod install, no template edits, etc. This is based off YBMF's mod for 4.0, but a bit easier for the end user. Instead of the user having to input the full Google Maps link, just the address, name of business, etc is acceptable.

Admin CP --> Custom BB Codes --> Add New BB Code

What do you mean it didn't show all the time? What didn't show? The map? The location? The button image?

Same thing here - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the same instance works once and then not again.
