Layer opacity
Hi,
I've created 3 blocks for 3 different maps, and I'm looking to display it in the same area. I've played with the CSS a little (position: absolute) to be able to display blocks on top of each other, but then come the issue opacity. How do I play with that? z-index doesn't have effect.

New Maintainer for the OpenLayers module (and the state of Mapping in Drupal)
I made it official the other day and set the status of the OpenLayers module to "Needs New Maintainer". It was on "Looking for Co-Maintainer", but I just can't seem to find the time to put towards the module anymore and don't want to give people false expectations. It is a bit sad, but my work on the module has almost all been in my own free time, and the focus of my professional work is moving away from Drupal (though not completely).

Drupal Mapping Office hours 2: Electric Boogaloo
Schedule TBD. We're probably going to mostly do Q/A this time around, but I would like to spend a little bit of time finding out what kind of prep work should be done to help with the Barcelona Days sprint (http://barcelona2012.drupaldays.org/improve-mapping-drupal-7).
If you have anything you'd like to formally address to the group, leave a comment here and we'll make it a part of the agenda either this time or the next meeting.
Where: On IRC (Freenode #drupal-geo)

Center map on user location help! (Mapping, Openlayers, Google Maps v3 API Javascript)
I'm looking to add a simple search box (city name OR postcode in same box), which when entered by a user (including anonymous users) will then pass Geocoded data directly to an Openlayers map (or via a View if needs be) for that location. The map will then show a marker on that spot, and will center the map.
Some of my failed attempts include:
- Global Filters module which will work for Post codes only
- Geocoder Autocomplete module which works well for data entry, but I can't see an easy way to Geocode the result as a node to work with Openlayers.
Call to undefined method stdClass::save
Hi,
I was trying to copy a layer using admin/structure/openlayers/ . I filled in the values for new layer name, Layer description and clicked Save, and I got the error PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::save() in /srv/www/engelsizturkiye.info/public_html/sites/all/modules/openlayers/modules/openlayers_ui/includes/openlayers_ui.layers.inc on line 58
Can you help?

Read moreGeneral Routing abstraction layer module
I'm not a PHP coder, but I would like to share an idea... What about developing some kind of "general routing API" module, to standardize how routes are managed within Drupal. Some kind of abstraction layer for routing webservices (like Google or Bing ones).
