Mapology – Adding maps for users and groups
-
Hey all,
about a week ago I started to extract various parts from various custom plugins I’ve written and Mapology appeared.
It adds a Google Map v3 for both the user and groups directory. It uses MarkerClusterer, so it doesn’t matter how many users/groups your site has, the map will always be smooth.
You have to create a profile field, e.g. Current Location, and the plugin will geocode the location from that field and display that information on the profile and on the overview map. It also integrates with the activity stream (uses Google Static Maps).
Then you can chose to add a group overview map. This will add address fields to the group and geocode the location from that.
You can have a look at an example here:
http://test.shabushabu.eu/Please note that this plugin will have a price tag attached to it. Likely around EUR 20 net. Included in the price is support.
It’ll be available within a week on http://shop.shabushabu.eu/Future fefatures:
* Custom infowindows (the default infowindows have some restrictions, like a min. width)
* Routes support (great for travel sites for example)
* Whatever else we can think of

Wow, nicely done. I wasn’t expecting the ability to create routes within the system (was expecting just uploads) that’s bloody awesome! Can’t wait for the first release

What do you mean that filtering doesn’t work? Just checked on the test site and it does Group filtering doesn’t until 1.3, but activity filtering works good.
