New Plugin: Member Map

Posted by Dawn Foster on Mar 26, 2008 9:49:43 AM

Jim Tremlett just released, Member Map, a new plugin for Clearspace based on Google Maps.

 

The Member Map plugin builds on the Google Map plugin developed by Jay Allen. The plugin displays the location of members of a community based on their addresses. The plugin employs Google's Map API for both the display of the map as well as the geocoding of addresses. As such, the address may be as general as a zip code or state, or as specific as a full address including street address.

I didn't even know that we had a Frappr map

Jim - wow, nice use of the plugin, I had no idea.  It's great to see other community members picking the gmap plugin up and creating something new from it.

 

I'm in the middle of upgrading the gmap plugin to 2.0.  Lots of little things here and there to take care of.  I'll post it once it's done.

 

Thanks,

Jay

Dawn: are we going to / can we install this plugin here on Jivespace? I'd love to see where people are from.  Would also be cool to modify this plugin to show up on a user's profile page and then you could show users who are in their local area.

 

Cool plugin!
