  • I love the concept here, but this plugin is not working in the latest version of vanilla. Where do I go from here?
  • this would be really helpful - if u can u should consider updating this.
  • derfreddy is yours working or the same problem?
  • Is it supposed to hide the map on the admin users page? I have a main admin user and a test user and the map only shows on the test users page.

    Also, the geolocation is not very accurate (placed me in London, England when I live in Cardiff, Wales) I suppose it's good for showing what part of the world a user is in.

    Also a fix for Dreamhost users, or those with allow_url_fopen off in their php.ini file...

    Replace

    $file = fopen("$URL","r");
    $r="";
    do {
    $data = fread($file, 8192);
    $r .= $data;
    }
    while(strlen($data) !=0);
    with...

    $ch = curl_init();
    $timeout = 5; // set to zero for no timeout
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $URL);
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    $r="";
    $r .= $data;
  • Does this work with Vanilla 1.1.4 I cant get it to work....
