User location map 1.0.1

[CrispinP]

CrispinP submitted a new resource:

User location map - Allow your users to see where everyone is on an interactive map.

View users on an interactive map

This is an add-on I made for my site (Land Cruiser Club) whereby users can set a location on a map. You can then also view all the users, click on them to view their profile* etc etc.

To view the map go to <my xf install>/usermap

Can this not use the default Location field?

 

[CrispinP]

It can - and does for the mass-update. It pulls the details from there.

The reason for the split is users like to put something silly for their location but actually want to display themselves on the map.

Gotcha, I'll just hide those additional fields.

Hide the default location or the map location the add-on creates?

Interesting addon

Thanks. Let me know how you get on with it - all feedback is good

Map Location and Country Flag in personal details.

 

[CrispinP]

Country flag? Really? How did that get there?

Can you show me a screen shot? That's something totally unrelated.

It's in the screenshot on the addon page, assumed it was from this. Didn't install yet to find out.

what directory should this be installed in?

I've tried

root/
root/UserMap
root/library/UserMap

and when trying to install the xml it says it can't find the files

 

[DieselMinded]

your demo map doesn't show any locations at all

i want this to use the default location field . not just for the mass update but for all future members too, is this an option?

1. need to have locate me button for mobile users to submit location on the map page
2. need to pull location from the default location field
3. need to send admin an alert when new user is added to map
4. add starting latitude and longitude and zoom level

Ah, OK. That's just a screen shot of my setup. Flag has nothing to do with it.

I've tried

root/
root/UserMap
root/library/UserMap

It should be./library / Crispin / UserMap /
Did the zip not extract it as such?

All good points. Will add them to the list.

Will check on the demo map to see what's going on. Check back soon.

What are you seeing? It works ok for me.

Do you have any ad-blocking software running? it looks like the adverts are being blocked. I wonder if that is blocking everything else?
