Google Member Map

That would be great

I was also interested in unplaced flags, IE using IP to locate flags for those who dont place.
I know this one can be a mess but country lookup may not be too bad, its used in Who Flags for example.

I know many will scream No Way! Bad Idea, but I run a SMF forum and a related art archieve and like to know where everyone is from. Also my current map turn out is less than 10%

Would be easier seeing how maps dont change to just figure a "bounds" box for each country and just search with in the box for the pins rather than IP.
*Rubs eyes*  I suppose I should not answer things when tired and mentally wore out.  That would be probally the hardest thing to do due to some ISP's are quite large in size and not to mention it would require a large DB of IP blocks to lat longs, and what would you do if there were multiple users in same ip block, heck same area seeing how there tends to be a general same area usage for multiple ISP's.

I think you have it backwatds from what I meant
Since SMF always keeps user IP it is possible to locate a rough Pin location via IP country mapping.
Thus 100% of users would have a pin placed to country, better located if user narrows location.

Now a bad problem trying this would be the too many pins problem?
I am unsure just what issue was mentioned with that, I have seen someone do a 10,000 pin google map without issues. It is a mess of course but it didnt crash. Likely it depends on what the browser tried to cache.

The demos of your mod look great, I like google earth
Sadly it lacks the detail in all countries, USA and UK are well mapped but a lot of europe is thin. Eventually the detail will be improved.

Great Mod, I am happy to see what you produced, I was going to try it if no one else did.

Ok from there, have you tried following the instructions on adapting the mods to a custom theme?  The classic theme is a custom theme now I do belive...

Back again...
I uninstalled the mod and installed it again using the default skin but:

One of the mods you have installed probally modifyed the profile, I will be doing my best to get the mod to work with other mods that may have been installed soon.

Well I do know my mod does not play well with others.  I am going to defiantly try to get the mod to work well other mods.  This probally will have more importance than adding new features.

When I hit install ... I get

I've just modded my membermap to start in hybrid mode and thought you should add this as an option. To LoadMap I added
map.setMapType(G_HYBRID_TYPE);

There are only three options for this at present according to the documentation G_MAP_TYPE, G_HYBRID_TYPE, and G_SATELLITE_TYPE. Could easily add it as an option to the admin.

If there is a problem with other mods I suggest we list the installs we have currently to see if there are any common denominators. This may help TLM solve any integration problems.

Where did you add the code?

sources/open membermap.php and find

map.addControl(new GScaleControl());

and put the code on the line below such as


map.addControl(new GScaleControl());
map.setMapType(G_HYBRID_TYPE);

Sorry guys kinda have put this on hold for a little while, trying to work ahead on my networking project.  Unfortantly I drew the short straw and got the bigest campus to network and plan for so next release could be a while...

You might wanna edit a little more considering thats not the only spot...  There are two spots in Profile.template.php as well if you want to control the map there as well...

[damacguy]

Thanks Carbonize and TLM!

[carbonize]

Thanks for the heads up TLM but profiles are already on Hybrid by default.

[Muslickz]

I have seen it mentioned several times in this thread but never really addressed, How do I get the map to start out zoomed in on a perticular region. Say south east USA?

Can anyone help me out with this?

Anyone do it yet?

If you looked at membermap.php it clearly says

Code Select Expand

//Find 0,0 and zoom to 16(Reasonable level)
map.centerAndZoom(new GPoint(0, 0), 16);
