vbgooglemap hotspot edition
 

All,

As you all know or don't I created the vbgooglemap application.

Currently I'm creating a hotspot edition.

This thread allows you to drop in feature suggestions.

The hotspot edition will allow you to enter locations or events on the map.

example: listing of nice places to visit with a display on the map and images.


What do you want to see in the hotspot edition?
Do you want listings included?
Do you want full detail pages on the hotspot?
Do you want it to link to a forum or thread?
...?

Just drop in what you want to see and who knows.

I've been wanting something like this.
I realize some things are just not in the realm of the google map but. . .

What I would like are for placement of ballons have the option needing to be approved.
A rollover to see the popup.
A link to a specific forum.

time and date...maybe address

links to calendar so an event in calendar can show a location or multiple locations would be a nice feature for me.

Pin linked to calendar to show next event at that location.

yes i second that too...also would work nicely if you have the enroll in event hack/mod....nice one lol

The calendar link is more of an addition to cal itself. But I'll check.

I would like to be able to link to sets of markers. I say sets as my use would be for canoe routes so for one set I might want a marker for the Parking place, one for the access to the river, another for a camp site and another for the get out point.

Probably the ability to select a colour for the pins would probably be enough to allow us to work out an in house colour code.

Thanks again for all the great work on this.

Wow cool, my wish list.

• Facility for only Admins or Mods to put marks on the map.
• User defined markers i.e. one colour per category (at least five colours please).
• Show or hide markers based on category.
• A Key showing what markers colours refer to.
• The ability to link to an individual marker and the map centre round that point.
• The ability to link to a post or vbLink from a hyperlink on that marker.
• Include a thumbnail image in pop up window.
• Calculate the winning lottery numbers! :confused:

Cheers

Keep those suggestions coming

As for those lotery numbers I'll hide them somewhere random on the map :D

Would love to have the ability to allow for users to add more that one item / location.

Of course that will be the case.

There is no more link with the user except the indication submitted by.

I have the Links addon - it would be nice to be able to link to and from a Link entry.

Would it be possible to link to a marker at a given zoom level?

Awesome hack.

maybe users can have personal maps/markers and if you click on a users balloon then when the info box pops up it'll have a link to X users hotspots or whatever and if they click on the link they can see all the spots that the user has marked and commented.

a user can list their daily routine, plan a vacation, show old vacations, favorite places, old places of residence, etc, etc, without interferring with the main, global user map.

maybe an option for users with personal maps/hotspots so they can choose whether to make each one viewable to all or kept private as well.

I want each Usergroup to have its own color ..?

maybe you can have it so when can put in URLs to change the marker images?

Hey,

I got a few screenshots from the Hotspot edition for you

I keep monitoring this thread. I've looked at the pictures and it looks really good.

How easy is it to create the markers?
Does the user have the oppotunity to click on the map exactly where they want it?

When are you planning to release it :-)
