Just a few nitpicks (nitpicks are my speciality, and today they're free!):

"Users gender" -> "User's gender"
"Number of max pins" -> "Max number of pins"
"The defualt Zoom" -> "The default Zoom"
"Maximum visable pins" -> "Maximum visible pins"

I really like the idea of being able to control the pin clustering like that.  And, of course, the control over the positioning of the sidebar.  You're doing a grand job here, TLM!

Hehe, ok so shoot me, programming in bed is not the best way to type out somewhat grammatically correct phrases.  I'll fix those in the lang file now before I forget.  (I moved almost all of the text to its own Language file to make translations easier.)

As for the pin clustering thats just options that came with the script that I figured what the heck might as well allow people to edit to there will.




As an update, the new admin interface is almost complete, all thats left is for addtional data. (Will post a SS when I finsh it)  Thats todays project.  Then from there its back to wonderful javascript land to try to tie this all together.

TLM: Ref the external data sets.

This is an example of what I'm using it for at present. It's a GoogleMap inside an article using TinyPortal. It's a script from the API Group. Having a point and click version would be so much better.
Thanks for the work to date  8)

On our site we have reviews for locations around the UK / World. It would be cool if we could place a pin on the map which then would link to that review. Is this something that is in progress or could be added?

Cheers, keep up the good work with this mod! I really is fantastic!

Sorta... You would have to place the pin by hand and in a xml document a certain way...  I'll give more information on this topic once I solve the admin interface problems I am having...

Cool..I will watch this thread then :)

Just happened to hit google groups for the map API, and saw this thread.
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_frm/thread/c8d01f3be32bc26f/1398b29ca27d4da5?tvc=1#1398b29ca27d4da5
I think it just solved alot of problems I was gonna have with people...

If you cant figure it out, dont ask.  I will try this when I get home from classes.

Suggested 'feature' - some sort of indicator of recently added/changed pins? Maybe make the name in the list bold? And an option to bold the last # new/changed pins?

Well that would be kind of hard to do seeing how the pins are stored.  The pins are not stored in there own table, there right in with the members profile.  As far as I know there is no way to sort the member table by last update to user profile.  Good idea though, cant do.

Hey, this maps thing is great. Installation went great and it works flawlessly with Firefox. However, I'm having  problems using it with Internet Explorer 6. IE can use google maps fine, I just get an error when using it on my forum. I appologize in advance if this issue has been discussed already, but I tried doing a search on this forum and came up empty handed. Any help is thanked.

Ok, I've tried to replace the file through ftp, but this does not seem sucessful. I uploaded the original google maps package through my forum. So I then uninstalled it, added the fix to the .gz file and uploaded it again and installed it through the package manager. Still having problems. Thanks for any help

Ok a little update here.

First the problem bkeritk was having was a id 10 t error.
Second, I just tested the pin clustering, and well its a browser saver!
The 3rd party cluster script is amazing, it really helps with a insane ammount of pins.  I also found over about 500 pins would take to long to load in a browser.  Enabled clustering and it loads perfectly fine, but then I said what the heck, cranked it to 5k pins and clustered and well, take a look for your selves. :)

Third, that include your own data is coming along good, just got around the road block I have had in the admin section, I will be releasing more info about it later, and all marker data might be accepted in one of two forms, XML or KML.  KML being what Google Earth exports so you can easily edit the pins in the file.
