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 !!!

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.
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
