Usermap software
It would be nice to create a user map. Check the following links for examples:
http://www.mirc.net/map/∞
http://cpdn.comlab.ox.ac.uk/map/∞
http://www.phpbb.com/map.php∞
piranha-fury.com∞ Nice static usermap by continent - source not available
Yabb membermap∞ Idem - it's a
Perl module∞ for the Yabb forum
phpnuke.org∞ Flash map for phpnuke - source not available
- last link doesn't show any map for me - anyone else have that problem? -- JW
- Works fine for me on Mac OS X + Safari - have you installed a flash plugin? -- DarTar
- Ah. No Flash (I don't do Flash, actively or passively) -- JW
- Maybe you know of a good Java alternative ;) -- DarTar
Any suggestions on an easy way to create a user map?
- Specifying latitude and longitude would be a start (so I did) -- JavaWoman
- Uhm, I think there is a lot of software of this kind around, mostly Flash or Java - see these links∞
Next step: a usermap Wikka action! -- DarTar
- Just stumbled onto an awesome mapping service - maybe we could somehow "borrow" from that?
I found it via a map thumbnail on a blog page, which linked to this map∞ (just to show you an example) where you can "zoom" into continents as well. See links at the bottom to HitMaps∞ and BuddySpace∞ for how this is done.
(Needless to say, I immediately added this to my travel blog∞!)
-- JavaWoman
- More pages about mapping that someone just pointed me to: FreeGIS∞ and MapServer∞ - note the mention of PHP on the last.
--JavaWoman
- The Yabb-Mod mentioned above unfortunatly is not licensed under the GPL, I would translate it to php if it were.
But an action for this would be really cool, I will start thinking about the how and the when :) Since I have been bored a lot lately chances are not to bad I will come up with something soon.
--TimoK
- Google just released Google Maps API∞, perhaps we can use it to track Wikka's users? But it's still in beta state. --PivWan
- A free service that allows the creation of usermaps through Google Maps API and allows integration into external websites: http://www.mapbuilder.net/∞
And here's a test usermap:
-- DarTar
- Forget about this, it is so much better to directly use the Google Maps API, as suggested by PivWan and NilsLindenberg. Here's a first test∞ of a {{googlemap}} action -- DarTar
- Hmm, the location of JsnX on those two maps is rather different, DarTar... I think the one on the MapBuilder map is (more) correct. But that map is otherwise a bit behind the times. Care to update it a little? Or maybe just remove that one and correct JsnX's location on your test map... --JavaWoman

Usermap software
It would be nice to create a user map. Check the following links for examples:
http://www.mirc.net/map/∞
http://cpdn.comlab.ox.ac.uk/map/∞
http://www.phpbb.com/map.php∞
piranha-fury.com∞ Nice static usermap by continent - source not available
Yabb membermap∞ Idem - it's a
Perl module∞ for the Yabb forum
phpnuke.org∞ Flash map for phpnuke - source not available
- last link doesn't show any map for me - anyone else have that problem? -- JW
- Works fine for me on Mac OS X + Safari - have you installed a flash plugin? -- DarTar
- Ah. No Flash (I don't do Flash, actively or passively) -- JW
- Maybe you know of a good Java alternative ;) -- DarTar
Any suggestions on an easy way to create a user map?
- Specifying latitude and longitude would be a start (so I did) -- JavaWoman
- Uhm, I think there is a lot of software of this kind around, mostly Flash or Java - see these links∞
Next step: a usermap Wikka action! -- DarTar
- Just stumbled onto an awesome mapping service - maybe we could somehow "borrow" from that?
I found it via a map thumbnail on a blog page, which linked to this map∞ (just to show you an example) where you can "zoom" into continents as well. See links at the bottom to HitMaps∞ and BuddySpace∞ for how this is done.
(Needless to say, I immediately added this to my travel blog∞!)
-- JavaWoman
- More pages about mapping that someone just pointed me to: FreeGIS∞ and MapServer∞ - note the mention of PHP on the last.
--JavaWoman
- The Yabb-Mod mentioned above unfortunatly is not licensed under the GPL, I would translate it to php if it were.
But an action for this would be really cool, I will start thinking about the how and the when :) Since I have been bored a lot lately chances are not to bad I will come up with something soon.

- Google just released Google Maps API∞, perhaps we can use it to track Wikka's users? But it's still in beta state. --PivWan
- A free service that allows the creation of usermaps through Google Maps API and allows integration into external websites: http://www.mapbuilder.net/∞
And here's a test usermap:
-- DarTar
- Forget about this, it is so much better to directly use the Google Maps API, as suggested by PivWan and NilsLindenberg. Here's a first test∞ of a {{googlemap}} action -- DarTar
- Hmm, the location of JsnX on those two maps is rather different, DarTar... I think the one on the MapBuilder map is (more) correct. But that map is otherwise a bit behind the times. Care to update it a little? Or maybe just remove that one and correct JsnX's location on your test map... --JavaWoman
