Location and Mapping | Home

I'm about to launch a site with a gmap.module/location.module node map, but all of a sudden my map/node page broke. My Firefox status bar tells me it's either "Connecting to www.acme.com..." or "Waiting for www.google.com...", but then it times out and produces a map without any markers, where there used to be 60.

Apparently i'm not the only one having problems. [zacker.org/mapdev/: as of 1am Wed May 24, no markers appear there either].

this makes me wonder about the longterm stability of using gmap macros. any ideas?

Hi everyone. I thought I would give you a heads-up about a project that I am working on and some of the extensions to drupal that I will be planning. I would hope to integrate some of this work into the future of the gmaps module if possible. I am currently working on something called the "Greater Victoria Community Atlas". check out development at http://greenmap.lifecyclesproject.ca

Things are still in alpha stage, and are likely to be a bit wonky. (best viewed in firefox at the moment)

It is basically an integration of liquid_wiki, gmaps, location, and a few other modules.. The idea is to create a wikimap system whereby users to add and edit points on the map. Each point on the map is linked to a liquid_wiki page where users can add content and pictures wikistyle. The map is based on layers that users can turn on and off (right hand-side menu). Each layer is actually a catagory pulled from taxomony. Marker Icons on the map are pulled from images in the catagory_image module. When you click on a point, it brings up the relevant page in an inline frame. I would love some comments!

OK so you have a test site somewhere (which has its own google map api key) and a production site (which has a different google map api key). You maybe wish to synchronize the data in the sites as well as the code.

This works well for me. In your sites directory make a folder for production:
mysite.com
and another for dev
mysitetest.com
or
localhost

Put a copy of settings.php into each folder. Edit each settings.php file and add code like this to reference that site's google maps api key as in

in folder mytest.com:

$conf = array(
'site_name' => 'MySite',
'site_slogan' => 'where my and site converge',

Boris suggested I cross-post this here (originally posted http://drupal.org/node/69957)

We are building out functionality to allow multiple locations associated with a content node. The idea is to make location nodes, changing nothing to the location module, but making a new module which will facilitate in the creation of and association between location nodes to their content nodes.
