DamnComp - MemberMap
 

ABOUT
After moving over from xenforo the one thing I was missing on my forum was a membermap. This is a map where your users can pin their location so that others can see where people are. This modification does just this.


FEATURES
Admin Settings:

Enable Membermap - Globally switches membermap and associated tabs off
Allowed Usergroups - Which usergroups can see the membermap
Can Edit - Which usergroups can add/edit markers on the map



User Functions

Add/Edit marker by drag drop on map
Add/Edit marker by searching for location by text
Online users show different colour
Popup bubble on markers with avatar and profile link
Live user search

INSTALL

Upload all files in the upload folder to your forum directory leaving their structure intact, then import the product file. If you are using a custom skin, please ensure you also add the dcmembermap image folder to your own misc directory within images

PLEASE NOTE THIS MODIFICATION IS IN BETA STAGE. SUPPORT WILL BE GIVEN ONLY TO THOSE WHO SPECIFY INSTALLED.

Did you get any errors when you installed?

EDIT: Issue with installer, sorting now an will reupload

None. It installed fine....

This one will work. Updating main package in a min

EDIT: Main package now updated also. If you have already installed, please uninstall the product and reinstall with the latest one. The old one wasnt creating tables correctly. Sorry guys

Please ensure you click on INSTALL if you add :)

Hi - installed but cant see a marker to drag.

You need to add a marker first by clicking an area on the map. Please click installed

Ah sorry now I understand .. Are you running this on a custom skin? If so you will need to add the image files into your own image directory.

misc/dcmembermap is the folder. You will need to ensure that the folder dcmembermap is within the skin folder of the skin you are using as well.

I think some are used to the one that grabs your IP... Is it possible to set it to choose a user info box color to match web design and html mockup color scheme.. For instance my theme is dark and the user names are white...

Need a fix it shifts the theme/style over to the left

Anyways thanks for making something simple to hook up! :)

Seems to be the social icons which are making it shift over for some reason. Will take a look at this tomorrow unless Jos (BlueWolf_) gets to it first. 1am here and head losing it a little LOL

Thankyou for the feedback. Please could you click installed m8 :)

Can this use a member profile field to set a marker? Would be a nice feature for the future

Excellent :)

Currently my Avatar is not displaying? All I see is the default no avatar image
It would be nice to have it fully Phrased ....example: I would like to change Member Map

No Avatars Show up for us but otherwise Easy install and Working great Thank you Sir!

Not something I have planned tbh as I have tried it before and its far from accurate. For example if I geocode Rochdale which is where I am in the UK I end up in Rochdale in the US. I would have to type rochdale,uk which is not IMO very user friendly.

The modification is fully phrased unless I missed somewhere.

Will have a look at the avatar problem when I get home from work tonight. Thankyou for the complement

will try your suggestion - now marked installed. will feed back. cool mod by the way!!

Hi m8,
Need to read the comment after that. You are quite right in saying to need to drag it. The problem is (Im assuming) that you are on a custom skin and havent got the images in the misc directory of your skin.

Installed here.
The map is working, but after trying 3 times or so, the location I set isn't remembered.
I click "save location" every time, but eacht time I go to the map again, I get the message "You haven't set your location yet!"

Is it also possible to somewhere edit what the height of the map will be?
Ans since, I'm asking anyway :D, where can I change the background of the avatar popup ?

That quite odd as I cant replicate that problem here. Are you getting any errors when you click on save location? Are you logged in at the time?

The popup colouring etc is something I am looking at tonight so pls bare with me on that. The height of the window you should be able to change from the dcmembermap.css template

wicked! put them into my modded styles misc and now working, avatars are not displaying though.

I re-uploaded the files, all working fine now.
Thanks on the tip for the mapheight. Adjusted now.

I know it's not in the scope of a membersmap, but would it be possible if certain membergroups can place "general" marks on the map. So locations that have anything to do with the community?

this is an ace mod already, keeping my eye on this - well done!!

Not possible at present, however it is something that I have in mind for a future update.

No worries, was just wondering.
It's a really nice mod. Thanks for that.
Nominated for MOTM.

Cheers for the vote of confidence :) Very much appreciated

For some reason my avatar isn't showing on the popup bubble. Any suggestions?

Aware of some problems with avatars which I am looking into tonight. Please could I have link to your site so I can determine the cause?

I only have it set for registered users and members. Do you want me to change it for this test?

Thank you for the quick reply.

Could it maybe to do with some of us using the database to store images and some sites using the file system maybe?
Just a quick thought when I was looking this morning I will have a try and move mine and see if any changes arise

Is this a 4.20 mod only, or will i work with 4.1.3?

We've been using Digitalpoint's User Map up to now, but this looks interesting ... :up:

Thanks for your efforts ... :)

Regards,
Doug

I have played around with it some more and one Button I was looking to change was the

Update Your Location and next to it the phrase You haven't set your location yet!
I did a search for this phrase and changed it but it did not change it here.

I would also like to change the Page Title Member Map

Cheers, :)

Hello - mines the same www.thewoollybacks.co.uk

yeah please.. and no problem :)

Cheers

No access on there m8 even for registered member

No problem, will take a look at these once Im back from work tonight for ya.

Done...temporarily.

Cheers. Looks like an issue with avatars when stored in the database. Will have a look into this tonight also and get a fix out

Thank you.

How about profile field id set / displayed in the popup bubble. :)

This however, is planned for the next version :)
