[DBTech] DragonByte Member Map 3.0.1

[DragonByte Tech]

I am curious if you have any suggestions for allowing viewing of the member map on iPhone?

Make sure your site is using HTTPS and that you're accessing the site via HTTPS on your phone as well

I am using HTTPS on both.

It works for Android but not on IOS.

Are you aware that the map is displaying over 2.5k pins? You should really look into reducing that, as it's going to make the map unusable for the vast majority of people.

That being said, the map loads perfectly fine for me (iPhone XS Max, iOS 12.1.3).

How would you suggest reducing the number of pins?

Originally we had it heat mapping but had complaints about not being able to zoom into individual users if they were geolocated to the same city.

 

[DragonByte Tech]

How would you suggest reducing the number of pins?

Two options, you can do one or both:

1. Untick "Show all users"
2. Per-usergroup permission "Included on map"; you can turn that off for "Registered" and then only turn it on for special groups like staff, and veteran members / contributors

What happens if I untick Show All Users? I limited based on post count to get down to the 2,500 or so. It did not work well at 4,000.

It'll only show members that are currently online on your site

We use our member map to help members find other boaters in their area so only showing members currently online is not a great option. A slow map is better for that.

May it be possible to add the functionality, that users are shown by their post code?

To choose, whether to use IP based location or post code?

This would be fantastic!

 

[7emper5i]

As a supplement:

In order to do justice to data protection and all security fanatics, it would be most sensible to design this in such a way that basically no location is displayed and then it can be selected whether the location is to be displayed and saved on the map via IP or postal code.

So three options:

• Off
• IP
• postcode

I know you guys run this as a free project and nobody has to pay for it.
So I would be happy to donate something for it if it were implemented.

Many greetings from Germany,
Philipp

There are some people in the German Xenforo Support Forum who would purchase/pay more than just a license. Right now a small group is thinking about winning a developer for a completely new implementation. That probably won't work, but the will (some money) is there.

Very often used maps in Xenforo 1 were the map by localhost as well as the map by Crispin. The latter is running on my forum. I switch to Xenforo 2.1 in spring and would then be without membermap.
Why? Although it is not clear, the automatic entry of the users into the map is possibly problematic concerning GDPR, at least however it does not please all members. So I may not be allowed / willing to use yours.

So it would be great if your map, as the only current serious option for a map for XF2, could allow users with a checkbox ( or even better, like Crispins map ) with an additional location field to decide if they want to appear on the map.

What do you need to realize this function, please? I would go "collecting" to inspire you.

Your map could become THE ONE Xenforo2 map if it really gets started and builds up a lead. And of course, as @Sperber writes, the map can and should become fee-based to pay the costs. In order not to endanger your user base, you could possibly offer two branches - a limited solution like now for free and a more complex one with desired functions. The latter might cost $ 30-50 if it becomes really powerful. Maybe your bill will fit.

But in any case: thank you for your map for Xenforo2!

Yes, there is a great demand for a map that shows the users using the location field instead of IPs. No problem in providing such features in a version with costs...

@DragonByte Tech ,

there seems to be a bug with XF 2.1. Trying to opt-out doesn´t work for me. The checkbox in the user privacy settings comes up as unchecked everytime I save the setting.

Are you using the latest version?

 

[Sperber]

I guess, it´s 2.3.0.

I'm unable to replicate this issue. Can you please try disabling all other add-ons, leaving only this enabled, and see if that works?

 

[Sperber]

Done, but the issue remains unfortunal.

In that case I will need an FTP and AdminCP account to look into this further.

Just to be sure, we´re on the same page - the setting on the map itself works. I am referring to the setting here:


When I opt out via this setting, the value isn´t stored and the checkbox turns into inactive again, when reloading the site. When I opt out via the map, the checkbox is activated in the privacy setting, as it should be. Only the direct way via the privacy site doesn´t work. Can you confirm that, Fillip?

No, for me saving that page also works fine.

PN with details incoming on your site.
