Ah yes, I see what you mean now. I too would prefer it to show additional groups rather than primary groups.

If you click ME full view does it show them?

Seems like the scheduled task isn't running correctly.

If your click run now does it show a page with "done" on it?

If so just click your entry on the main map and click update. That should fix it.

If not get back to me

- If i click ME full view it was showing NO users, now it's showing one (another admin)

- When I click run now it DOES say done almost instantly

- as for my entry, i don't have an entry as of yet. i just tried starting from scratch so we'll see how it goes.

does every user have to do this manually or will it populate all my users when i run the task?

For privacy reasons a user has to enter his entry on the map. I always give the advice to enter it on a nearby landmark.

As global geodcoding based on addresses is expensive and most of the users don't want to give the address that isn't released.

I however have written the code to do just that.

ok i installed your other hack for the googlemaps in the user profile field and i added myself that way but i'd like to avoid having each user do it manually.

additionally... i can't get the link to show up in the post bit to click on a user and take you to their spot on the map, when i put it in, it only shows up for admin.

here's an idea. would it be possible to have the user's ip give a location (just the city/state) and put that on the map automatically?

If you have a reference database of course mostly that's on a nearby city.


If you have the money to spend you could even do it on telephone number for all I care.

you need an IP to location reference database. That's custom code.

Respect the privacy of users is one of the rules for using this so you should leave it up to your users to be on it or not. The detail level is very high is some regions.

ok fair enough. i'm relatively new to this so just kicking around ideas to get a feel for how it all works.

here's a question... in the postbit i can see the link to my own location but not to the 2nd user that's put in his location so far. why is that? the other user only sees the link under my name and nobody else's including himself.

excellant upgraded and love the new version.. Did find one problem when it added the $post[findme] in the postbit it added the entry next to the online status and when clicking the My Location it interferred with the drop down menu for the user next to the online status so I manually moved the My Location link right below the member name and work great.. Thank You

There is an approval system in place.

You either auto approve an entry or an admin needs to approve an entry by using the admincp

Check the settings.

It's all explained in the pdf file too.
