Major Additions - 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.

How can I remove the navigation tab or link from the navbar?

[EBZ2010]

Is there any assistance on this mod. I would like to remove the Map link from navbar. Can anyone help me with how to do that, thank you.

[vb_nils]

Just a little return of experience...

I was experimenting white pages using this mod (while it was working in the past). It was due to a lack of memory caused by the huge number of markers to display on the map.
I could change that by adding

ini_set("memory_limit", "256M");

just after the tag "<?php" in file dcMembermap.php (at the VB root)

While looking at the code, I can see that it is not optimized for huge number of markers.
I'll try to improve that and share a proposal

[vb_nils]

For those who want to clustering the markers (when you have too much markers to display), I'm sharing with you the small changes I've performed.


* Download file markerclusterer_compiled.js from http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/markerclusterer
/src/markerclusterer_compiled.js

* Upload in folder "clientscript"

* In CP, Styles & Templates, search for "dcMembermap_js" template in your theme, and open it.
Note: if you are using several themes, this should be performed for each of your style.

* Search for

<script src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/dcMembermap.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

* Just after add

<script src="{vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/clientscript/markerclusterer_compiled.js" type="text/javascript">

* Open file dcMembermap.js from folder "clientscript"

* Search this block

// Parse through the given points and show the map
    var point, marker;
    for (i in points) {
        point = points[i];
        addMarker(point);
        
        if (point.userid == this_user.userid) my_point = point;
        
        if (search_type == "userid" && point.userid == search) {
            search_hit = point;
        }
        if (search_type == "username" && point.name.toLowerCase() == search.toLowerCase()) {
            search_hit = point;
        }
    }

* Just after, add

// clustering markers options
	var mcOptions = {gridSize: 50, maxZoom: 15};
	var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, markers, mcOptions);

Note: You may adapt the option values for your needs

* Search for

function addMarker(point) {

* At the end of the function (just before the closing bracket }), add

	// clustering markers
	markers.push(point.marker);

* Save and reupload the file

Of course, can be still improved ... especially using ajax to load the markers (other step) ;-)

Cheers
