[DBTech] DragonByte Member Map 3.0.1

Update highlights

!!! THIS VERSION REQUIRES XENFORO 2.2.0 AND PHP 7.2.0 !!!

This version contains coding style updates and changes for XenForo 2.2.0 / PHP 7.2.0.

It's now possible to auto-fill the location field by utilising the "Google Places" API. Furthermore, the geolocation feature has received some back-end changes to improve reliability and 3rd party support.

This version is flagged as a Beta version as it has not been tested on a live site.

Feature: Autofill for the Location field (powered by Google Places)
Change: Switch geolocating fall-back WebService to a 3rd party alternative
Change: Rework GeoLocate service to be more extendable by other add-ons

Update highlights

This version is a follow-up to the previous version, in order to address an issue where another change in the download format prevented the GeoIP2 database file from being read properly after it was downloaded.

Fix: Fixed an issue that would prevent a valid GeoIP database file from being downloaded

Update highlights

This version makes changes to the way API lookups are handled in order to protect against invalid responses from APIs.

The new privacy-focused API calls made the response data more susceptible to invalid data being parsed, but hopefully these changes should resolve that permanently.


Complete Change Log

Change: Add protection from invalid responses from various API lookups

Update highlights

This version fixes an issue where a server error could be generated when the GeoIP lookup fell back to using the "Web Service" rather than the GeoIP functions or the GeoIP2 database.


Complete Change Log

Fix: A server error could occur when falling back to a webservice lookup

Update highlights

This version improves compatibility with core XenForo features by supporting the "HTTP Proxy" feature in XenForo. This feature is used by certain sites that may be the target of harassment / DDoS attacks, to mask the true IP of the server.

When making calls to 3rd party websites, such as MaxMind to download the latest GeoIP database, those HTTP calls would expose the true IP of the server.

For this reason, the HTTP calls in this product have been updated to support the HTTP proxy. Going forward, all DBTech products that make calls to 3rd party APIs will support the HTTP Proxy feature where possible.


Complete Change Log

Change: Changed the way API calls are made, in order to support the HTTP Proxy feature in XenForo

Update highlights

This version fixes an issue with saving the "Opt out of member map" setting when attempting to save it via the Privacy page.


Complete Change Log

Fix: The "Opt out of member map" setting did not save on the Privacy page

Update highlights

This update changes the way the available pins and heatmap images are loaded. The "Cluster" map icons are now loaded from a sub-directory of the styles/DBTech/MemberMap/ directory.

Furthermore, any PNG image added to styles/DBTech/MemberMap/ (not the sub-directory) will now be available for selection as a user group pin image. In short, you can upload custom images!

If you see the heatmap icons available as user group pins, delete the m1.png through m5.png images from the above directory.


Complete Change Log

Feature: Any PNG image in the /styles/DBTech/MemberMap directory can now be used as a map pin in the user group settings
Change: Moved the "cluster" images to a sub-directory
