Google Member Map

[Redeye]

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?

Just kind of off current topic, found a way to cluster lots of pins together into one so that might make next version.  I have not tried anything with it, just looked at it.

One of the things I (as an admin) would find useful would be the ability to place pins in a map with some text in the info box. Running a biker site means that we could have meeting places, dealers, etc., mapped.
Nothing fancy, just zoom in, place the pin and input some text.

[gh0stw4lk3r]

same here, also running a bikers site, that kind of info would be nice to add

And a "me too" on that - free text in fixed pin bubbles, profile-specific items in members' pin bubbles.

Is there any way in which one can prevent the map from being zoomed in past a certain level?  I'm concerned about protecting my members' privacy, so that other people can't examine where a pin is right down to the photo of their front garden!

[Added later] And I totally forgot to say how very grateful I am to TLM for all his hard work on this - it's a truly wonderful job!  It even shows up in "Who's Online" - every detail has been attended to!

Their lognitude and latitiude will always be there in the kml and xml anyway not to mention you can get a close up when you view their profile.

I was hoping to prevent to close a zoom both on regular and on profile view...

Easier solution, the person can put there pin where ever, they can choose to put it in the middle of the atlantic.  They dont have to put it on there house, this seems to be everyones though, nail there house...

It was easier for me to add a note under the map in the profile. The note basically says if you're concerned about your privacy then don't select your home, but a major intersection near your home. And member profiles are also only viewable by registered members on my board.

When viewing the map, the tab in the menu doesn't change, it stays on whatever tab was viewd previously, i.e. home, profile, etc. Is anyone else experiencing this, and how can I fix it. coding in index.template looks good (I think)

Using default theme in RC2 no mods other than the map mod.

Got a link for me to look at?

I installed this mod and it works perfectly except for the fact that some of my members can't see the Map tab in the menu or the map in profile settings. If I access those profiles from my admin account, the map is there and I can place pins but the member still lacks all these options. I have tried clearing the cache (f5?) but to no avail. How can I fix this problem??

I have these mods installed

1.    Enchanced post template    1.0 
2.    Users Online Today Mod    1.3.1

I say this time and time again. Permissions!  This is probally the last straw, I just might rip the permissions out, its causing more idiocy than I would like to deal with.

Sorry if it sounds like I am chewing you out, just failed a test and not to happy at the moment.

Please don't rip the permissions out!  I would have to uninstall it if I couldn't set the permissions to view / place pin appropriately.  I couldn't put my forum members' security at that sort of risk!

It's a superb mod;  I've installed it on one forum (where it's proving extremely popular) and am about to install it on another.  (I made a few tweaks to the PHP scripts, such as putting the "Click here to place pin" above the map so it's clearly visible to the user, and adding a custom profile field to the information displayed.)

Ja I like the permissions thing too and would hate to have it gone

Hi

First, Thank's for a great mod, my members likes it a lot and I'm looking forward to it's development.
Please don't remove to permissions, that's essential to keep. Even me had som problem with this from start. Couldn't get it to work for everybody and was close to ask a q her about perm.  Figured it out?

This might help others
In Adminmode
Meny
Member Controls
Click Edit Permissions and Modify Permissions by Membergroup.

Ok I have made a couple of small changes so far, I shall list them later when I make it available, still working on two things that are driving me crazy...

BTW, permissions stay but IF another person comes in asking about permisisons there will be heads rolling.... I have just added a little to fix this "issue".

[TLM]

Ok 0.52 released, several changes, as well as some of those recent hacks...

fixed some permisison stuff (added by install now),
fixed not removing files on uninstall,
changed from action=membermap to action=googlemap,
added google earth button,
added default map type,
added default long/lat/zoom options,
moved most if not all text into lang files for translations later on,
fixed the readme,
made uninstall readme,

Oh lets see anything else?

[TLM]

*bumps version to 0.53*

Found a couple small bugs with that, should be fixed now.

[TLM]

Ok everyone take a look at this and tell me what you like and dont like about how I got things now for the next version.  Yes that is indeed a clickalble member list!

Next couple of tricks will be to sort (half-done), and implment a better limiting of number of pins shown on map.
