Nice MOD stony, but I could see, with additions to locations, events, landmarks, members, etc....the map could get pretty crowded and somewhat over-bearing. What would be nice to see would be clickable balloons in the legend that when clicked on, would then populate the map with only the information the user wants to see.

Just a thought.

That was the initial architecture but as I need to set the markers asynchronous from XML with Javascript this becomes a very heavy load product as the markers file needs to be created.

However, I think I solved it for the next version as I'll create 1 file per category (1 file per usersgroup for the member edition) that should give me enough flex to build the marker filter directly.

I'm still looking for the best way to build the markers on the map. There is a way to use php but I'm not convinced that it's the best way to go as the script is written now. So I'm rewriting it.

Your second remark is in fact sort of present as the listings include a show on map function. I'll make the balloon open in the next version.

again... is it possible to change:
* the elements in listed in the bubble (like if I wanted to add... marital status, for example?
* the elements in the detailed section or link it somehow with user profile?

I'd like to add some elements in the bubble. ;)


second.... you said you wanted to see maps after installed.... here's mine:
(not too many ppl on it... but looking good so far. :))

I'll try to add some more flex and control on the fields in the next version.

As HSE isn't really intended for Members (1 member can have N entries, member edition 1 member 1 entry) we need to discuss that somewhat.

Yes, I understand, 1 member can have N entries, but some of these entries should not be editable by other members.

eg.
1. Member X is organizing an event at a certain location and sets the marker. Member Y doesn't like this and edits the marker to a different place.
2. Member A has travelled around the world and sets multiple markers of his route. Some mean member B has fun changing his route.

And you never can be sure, that all members act correctly.

on the other hand some entries should be editable.

eg. Member C tells about his hike on top of a mountain and sets the marker. Unfortunately he made a mistake and has set it on a wrong peak. So member D has been on this mountain before, knows exactly where it is located and correct the marker.

Conclusio: some categories (like landmarks) should be editable by everyone, other catagories should only be editable by the user who has set it. Of course admins should be able to specify which category is editable by everyone and which is not!
And the categories should be able to be filtered. Let's say, default is:
by default no markers showing
people filter category "landmark" and only these would be shown
or people filter three catagories
So every user should be able to specify for himself.

I know that's a big wishlist, but this would be perfect for my forum!

Anyway, thanks a lot for your work. Can't appreciate enough!

Cheers,
Andreas

Where can I get from the german translation for the HSE?

WoD I think you can contact Wachtmeister on this forum. He's kinda good with these things.

Great Mod!.. Thanks, have been wanting this for a while...

Here's my implementation of it:

Is it possible to use Northing Easting instead of Lat Long.
If so where to change.

Nice Mod!!

I just uploaded about 3700 locations to the database table and none of them are showing markers. The "List Elements" view works great for all of them. However I can't see any of my locations on the map. Is there a setting I need to change?
