BuddyPress Maps

    Hi, I’m currently developping a plugin to display and save maps (google maps) in BuddyPress.

    The core component allows to save,edit and display markers on a map; and you can use it for your own plugins.

    For example, I made a plugin to “attach” a map to a user’s profile,

    and i’m working on another one to display a map with all the locations of the users of a group.

    demo : http://dev.benoitgreant.be/wordpress-mu/members/admin/profile/public/

    You can try to register on this demo site and edit your profile to see how it works.

    There are many options to customize the maps; one of them is the “dynamic” parameter (both/static/dynamic).

    Both (default) means that the map is displayed as a picture. If you click it, it loads a real map wherin you can move. This should avoid loading to much javacript.

    You can also choose the number of markers a map can include,

    If titles and descriptions are available for this marker, etc.

    I’m also working on the privacy (not yet fully working) : for each marker, the user can choose who (visitor,member or friend) :

    -can/can’t see the marker

    -if he can see the marker, you can also choose to not display the exact location (it will be a random location at +-150m of the original location). Eg. for a profile location : you can choose that visitors (non registered users) will not be able to see your marker; that a regular member will be able to see it but not the exact location; and that your friends will be able to see the exact point.

    In the future, i’ll try to use this to filter query results for geo-location.

    Well; I guess there is lot of potential for this one !!!

    @schwooba, Thanks I’ll check it out. I looked at this and realized it was going to be way out of me league to even try at this point. But this would be a key feature of the site I have in mind.

    Hi, i’m currently trying to rewrite some stuff.

    I’ll hope i’ll be able to make a new release soon; but it would feature members map and API to allow things like friends maps.

    More news to come !

    What do you mean by members map and friends map?

    What could be fun with a plugin like this is make a page in your buddypress and a profile field where a user can enter his/her location and then you can see where everyone is on the buddypress map. :)

    created user on your test site and filled in the map information. Even after clicking save, I still see your map there from another country. (user name shawn)

    also:

    installed on my system and do not have the location button in my user profile navigation like on your site. Nor is there anywhere in the group admin to add a map.

    I must be missing something really simple here.

    I have it installed as well, and it isn’t working for me either. Seems to install ok, but I never finds the addresses I put in user profiles. This is the error I get:

    “Your location was not found. Please try again by pinning your marker manually.”

    But the markers done work either.

    Anyone monitoring this that can help?

    Hi!
    I’m using WP 3.0.1 multi-site with Buddypress 1.2.5.2.
    First of all, the plugin have a minor bug to be fixed: at line 594 of bp-maps.php must be closed the comments adding a / at the end of the line.

    Then, I’ve other bugs that, maybe, went fixed yet on the plugin support forum (http://dev.benoitgreant.be/bbpress/forum/buddypress-maps). But that forum no more exist :(

    1. reported at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/buddypress-maps/?topic_page=1&num=15#post-39374
    Everytime I edit the profile the link send me to the top of the page and do nothing. May be a javascript problem?

    2. reported at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/buddypress-maps/?topic_page=3&num=15#post-53565
    Sometimes i’ve Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /wp-content/plugins/buddypress-maps/bp-maps-templatetags.php on line 210 in the profile page.

    3. reported at https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/topic/buddypress-maps/?topic_page=3&num=15#post-55594
    Basically the plugin try to search the location with the xprofile-fields provided, but it don’t find anything so suggest to use the markers. Due to the 1. problem i cannot create a new marker. Also i cannot edit the map pointing a marker on it.

    @grosbouff Can you re-establish the old support forum?

    I think this plugin is really useful, so any help would be really appreciated :)

    I was able to activate the plugin just fine, but it dosnt seem to add group markers correctly.

    Wish this was kept up.

    Any ideas?

    @en3r0 – as far as I am aware this plugin appears to have been abandoned. I have tried it myself and it does not work. I have seen no activity for months and the plugin site has been down for a long time. possibly a lost cause….the good news is though – we have one available which you can see in action at our demo site http://buddypress-maps-demo.glocate.me/
