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
- 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.
--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
- Google likes Beta-status :) But I've opened up GoogleMap. --NilsLindenberg
- 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 dartar.free.fr/w/?wakka=map first test of a {{googlemap}} action -- DarTar
