This AddOn is a membermap for vBulletin. We coded this AddOn in german and published it on vbhacks-germany.org first, here you will find a stable version in english now.
Your users can add their location on the map... Have a look at it and check yourself.
There is going to be a test for the maps right now, maybe somebody who has already installed the AddOn and made it viewable for guests can put the link in here meanwhile?!
Can you provide a demo login please? if not its not a real demo. THank you.
Cant view the demo as you need an account... can I view just one state in the US? My site is dedicated to PA members so it would be nice to have just a PA map.
But I think this woud be really tricky. - Why?
We would need a table with (fictional) geographical Data of the fictional map, e.g.:
fictional Place, fictional Zip-Code, fictional Country, fictional latitude, fictional longitude
:erm:
Well, in the instance of video games, the game maps have co-ordinates. Any data would be custom created. This is what I would use it for, and yes I have geo data for the game. I am not asking you to make it, I am just wondering if there will be any instruction on adding custom maps.
I actually thought of this (vB custom maps, not your mod) a while back, and this mod probably wouldn't be well suited to this purpose. My twist idea is to define location on the map by Who's Online. So different areas would represent different forums and threads. Obviously it would show who is where on the map based upon where they are on the forum. Sort of a visual map of your forum's current activity.
What about us Americans??? We need USA!!!! Ahhhhh!!!! lol!
I'm working on it right now!

Hm... the more I think about it - the more I like the idea. What I think about is something like a 'map-construction-module' for this AddOn where a self-drawn map could be loaded and certain points be fixed with names by the users. Then it's getting converted into a 'map-package' and it can be used just like a normal map.
Hm..... that would take some time, but in generall it could be possible!
Give us some time that we can publish more major maps and after we finished and published 1.0.5 we might give it a try.
@Americans:
Does anybody want to test the US-map in order to check, if the range of the map is OK and if the places are well ordered? I would like to know if everything is correct before we're going to publish the US-map. Please send me a PN with your eMail-adr. so that I can mail it to you... Thanks in advance!
