Direct link to vbgooglemap location
Developer Last Online: Jan 2011 
Direct link to the vbgooglemap location
Function: Display a direct link in the postbit to the vbgooglemap location. Prerequisits: The forum must be running vbgooglemap 2.0.2 or higher. Click http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=99920 Don't forget to hit install here and on the vbgooglemap thread !!!!!!!   Steps: Add a field to your user (editable in profile) => vBulletin features a wide array of input options for you to gather information from your members through the creation of custom profile fields. With these fields you can present a list of options for the user to choose from or you can ask the user to give their own input. STEP 1 Go to the adminCP and add a custom field => User Profile fields => Add New User Profile Field You need a "Single-Line Text Box" Title => googlemap Description => vbgooglemap direct link Default Value => Leave empty Max length of allowed user input => 150 Display Size => 30 Display Order => put something like 10 or 15 Field Required => No as default but you can change if you want Field Editable by User => Yes Private Field => No the field is public Field Searchable on Members List => No Show on Members List => Yes Regular Expression => leave empty Save the field Go to the User Profile Field Manager and look for your custom field you just added and look for the name column there is an ID for the field. Something like "fieldXX" where XX is a number. Make sure you remember this value. STEP 2 Go to the template you are using (Styles & Templates/Style Manager) and select Edit templates. Go to "postbit templates" and select the template you are using (probably postbit or postbit_legacy). and add the following code: fieldXX is the field value you got from step 1. You can embed the code in a div or a special table construction but that is up to you. Code: <if condition="$post[fieldXX]"> <a href="$post[fieldXX]" target=”_self”>$post[username]’s location</a> </if> (TIP: You can add this also to the MENBERINFO) Entry of the data: Go to “your entry” on the googlemap (you have to logged in) If you haven’t set your marker before the form will detect that. If you did enter the information you’ll see 3 text input boxes on top of the smaller map. The third on gives you the full URL to your location. You can increase the zoom if you want, the link will adapt. Make the user copy the string and go to the USER CP or edit profile In USER CP paste the string in the googlemap field and you’re done. The postbit will now show a direct link to the map location for that user. Feel free to support this mod and make a donation to admin@stonyarc.com  All code is (c)2006 StonyArc.

Nice!
One question - how do I make it so it does not display googlemap URL in the 'additional information' box - it's so long that it is blowing out the table in the profile page. EDIT - I tried changing it to a private field but this didn't do it. No members have liked this post.

I find it very handy to be able to directly click on a postbit or memberinfo and get transfered to that users geo location on the map. PS: I know I'm repeating myself but support for the map is in the other thread !!

Would it be possible to have it only show the pins of the member you are looking at?

Note: a user could put any web-address in the box... I don't have time to check them... do you want a link to a XXX web-site on your forum?:surprised: Don't get me wrong I really like the idea of the link being in postbit's, but currently I consider this a security risk, what kind of data can be entered into that field, and what damage could be cause? I just tested it, if the user hasn't filled in the information and someone clicks on a link in postbit it will open a blank page. I did set new registration to the default map page (Default Value = http//www.yourwebsite.com/forums/vbgooglemap.php) but what about all the users that are registered prior to this install, there is no data in that field. Yes... I know I could go into the database and manually insert this information... Oh' more fun. . No members have liked this post.

Just to let you know that this feature will be default in the next version of the member map and manageable from backend.
No more copy thingy. Still working on the best way to do it but mini and you have some nice ideas going on. /EDIT I'll try to make it so that no additional datamanipulation is needed. Brrrr is that a plugin that I feel there
