We're looking to hire one or two Drupal 6.x experts, possibly already working together as a team, to work under contract for a high-visibility project. We need

• a Drupal theming / UI expert and
• a Drupal module developer / integrator

with proven, real-world experience.

This project is ready to begin immediately, and will require at least 3 weeks of at least half-time and possibly full time work in a temporary contract position. Possible option for future full-time employment, but this is not a requirement. We strongly prefer local (Vancouver-based) candidates, but are open to queries from experienced telecommuters.

Hello,

a while ago, i built the module CCK GMap Address: http://drupal.org/project/cck_gmapaddress. It is dependant on the GMap module. It provides a CCK Field to enter an address and display it in a GMap. Therefore GMap is used to get geodata (lon/lat) validate the address and display the GoogleMap. Data stored in the field are lon, lat, accuracy and the address string. Display of the GMap can be customized per field (e.g. for teaser,full, views display).
At the time I built the module, there wasn't any that satified my needs on such a CCK Field.

Hi,

I'm trying to use Drupal 6 as back-end for a map web application that show "ubuntu supporters" in Belgium (see http://map.ubuntu-be.org) and need guidance. The plan is to store user location and their commitments in Drupal. Then the existing JavaScript could be refactored to fetch the data from Drupal instead of the current had-hoc backend. After some research, it seems that the best solution to add (optional) information to user profile is to the Content Profile to create a "Profile node" for volunteering users. This node would have to provides a means to store user location.

Someone out there may be interested in the modules I have just released.

EveryBlock (now launched in Chicago) just blogged about the technology they used to create their own mapping platform (not using Google or Yahoo maps). It's missing a few details no doubt, but in addition to the already open components listed here, EveryBlock (funded by the Knight Foundation, which is also making significant investments in Drupal) will ultimately make the complete recipe available. Here's the parts they're using:

am looking for a drupal developer to work on social networking project centered on geo-spatial and interest data. I broke-down the project in several phases, phases 1 being very basic. So if you agree with this approach and you are an expert with drupal, php, google map's api, the gmap module, the categories module (CCK) and how it can apply to profiles, please do read on. Lastly, it would help tremendously if you would share with me any implementation examples similar to the specs below.

So here's a preview of the high-level functionality I need developed/implemented for Phase 1:

As discussed in IRC, September 10, 2007

• A. Geocoding / Address Storage
• B. Geospatial
• C. Data Entry
• D. Data Searching
• E. Data Visualization
• F. GeoRSS / KML / GML
• G. Web Feature Service

I asked myself how we could use Microformats in the location module.

this is the patch which came out: Using Microformat for address output

comments and suggestions are welcome :)
