New Feature - Google Maps
This feature adds a button to the WYSIWYG post editor, as well as BBCODE that allows you to embed a Google Map into your post or thread, and then zoom and pan around that map.
--------------------
Step 1: Go to Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/) and find the location and zoom level you want to show.
Step 2: Click the link icon at the top-right of the map and in the drop down that appears copy all the text that appears in the "Paste HTML to embed in website" section.
Step 3: When making your post/thread, look for the http://www.clan-tlb.com/forum/images/editor/gmap.gif button inside the editor box to insert the BBCODE tags. Paste the text from Step 2 between these.
Aternatively, if you are using the quick reply box or have the WYSIWYG post editor turned off, you can simply surround your pasted text with [ gmap ][ /gmap ] tags (without the spaces).
Submit your post/thread to see the action. Here's a demo:
