What's the latest on this?  Do you have a working demo up?

this may be off topic, but I remember about a projec called icbm :

here is a related link,

http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8025

the aim was to tell you the geolocation of a website, obviously not what you want to do, but you might get some info or ideas about how they did it.

Have you guys checked out Frapper Maps?

Looks like a good solution to me.

I'd love to be able to integrate that but it's a stand alone service.  I really need something like that for ride sharing.  I'd pay if anyone here is interested.

Ride

ok, check it out.  It's easier than I thought to get user coordinates.  Look at this example I made.  When you click on the map, it will put those coordinates into a form.  This can easily be added to the members table.  I'm just trying to think of the best place to put this in the profile now.  Down at the very bottom or make it's own section.  Ideas anyone?

I think I may do a popup with the map and a submit form to update the member table independently of the profile.  Should it go in the member table or theme table like custom profile fields do?

Ride

Well, I'm almost done!  I've got the part to get the coordinates into the database working perfect.  The member clicks on the map in their profile to set their location.  Now just gotta figure out how to do a 'for each' to echo all the members into the javascript to show all the markers for each member.

You can play with it on my site if you'd like.  I've setup a test account.  username: test    password: 54321

By the way, if anybody can help with this ---->  http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=56035.0
I will have the whole thing done very soon to share with everyone.

Nice job so far.  I'm liking this a lot.  Will there be another page with all the members together?

Thanks, yes there will be.  That's what I'll be working on tomorrow.  I need this question answered first though! ---->  http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=56035.0

If anyone is familiar with the google maps api or is really good with javascript, I could really use some help.  There is a lot to be done before I can release this as an actual mod.  I will soon however be able to post instructions on how to do it once I get all the bugs worked out.  Anyways, if anybody can help me out a bit, please message me or email me at  royce[at]fracturedmedia.com

I was using Frapper on my site for the members when I saw invision has a mod for goggle maps ( seems frapper is google maps anyway ) so I did a search on smf and found this thread.
I looked at your site and I must say it looks very impressive ( the MPspace add is cool too )
If you need someone to test your beta's let me know I have my sites mirrored so I can do testing.
BTW your site is very impressive looking.

Any chance this will be 1.0.5 compatible?

I'm actually using this with 1.05 right now.  I don't see any big differences I'll have to make between 1.05 and 1.1.

I see that TLM is also using a system like yours and is using RC1.1
Have yall worked together on this ?
I am tired of using Frapper and getting so many fake accounts with links that are just WRONG on it.

Is there aready more news about how things are going with this mod?
what i have seen is wow!!!! thanks for all the work!


Thanks

Yes, I am again coding on this little mod some more, no job wants me, classes have ended, and I have no life.  Therefor I have lots of time.  Currently the there are two things holding me back right now from releasing this to the public, one, IE does not like to load the pins on the whole map, two, I can not get the packaging to work right.  So if any of you can package and get it to install/unintall I am willing to overlook the IE issue for now till I can figure out why its not loading the pins.

I have no plans to backport this to 1.0.5 of SMF, I see nothing wrong with 1.1Rc1.

http://www.teamplayfirst.com/forums/index.php?action=membermap - Works in FF but not IE for me, if anyone can get an error message or anything for IE, I would much appriciate it.
