location

Hi Everyone,

I've developed a module called Geo GUI (http://drupal.org/project/geo_gui). You can download from csv from /contributions/modules/geo_gui.

It uses OpenLayers so that you can draw on a map for inputting polygon, line, and point information in the geo CCK fields. So instead of using WKT to input complex geometries, we can simply draw.

I would love some feedback!

Hello!

I would like to do the following:
1/ create a block with a drop down selection list with a list of taxonomy terms (corresponding to locations)
2/ when the user updates the value in this dropdown selection, it would generate an event, and pass the selected term
3/ then a rule would be created using this event: when it happens, it would trigger an action to redirect the user to a page .../selectedlocation

I think i can do 3/ with rule.. would you know how i can do 1/ and 2/ or of any related documentation? Or do you think of a better way to do it than with rules?

Found this review of Location module:

Congratulations to Bdragon, Bec, and all the volunteer contributors who helped push out the new, officially-supported releases of the Location (v3) and Gmap (v1) modules. Hundreds of hours of work have gone into these modules since we adopted them, and we're very proud of the new and refined features.

Location and Gmap can be combined to associate physical, real-world locations with Drupal nodes and users, as well as displaying interactive maps of that content.

I know it can be done, but I'm looking for the best way to achieve image galleries based on locations. Say I have 20 offices and I want a photo gallery for each office. Each office should be able to login and add photos only to their gallery. Each office's location should be visible on a map and have location info, and office details attached to it.

I have to give each office a unique login to manage their photos. Also, I would like to be able to see "All offices in CA" or "All offices in Zip Code 90210"

What's the best way to do this?

Thanks!

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 Guys

I have been trying to build a site that takes in user data through CCk fields and then displays that information on google maps . I have been using CCK, gmap, geonames, location and views modules. I have been playing around with it for the last 2 weeks and have been unsuccessful. Which has lead me onto trying to find tutorials on how somebody would put such a website together. I have searched the drupal website, mastering drupal, lullabot, youtube just about anywhere i could think of. Please if anybody knows where i could find some information, would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know anything about http://www.opengeocoding.org ?

Hi guys!

I'm in need of the perfect location selector to efficiently geocode lots of my data. Are any of you guys working on something that might be useful? We should be able to 1. Input place names 2. Input addresses 3. Place pin on map -- to get lat/long out at the other end.

Guys,

Im launching today a ALPHA of my new module: Addresses. Its basically a fork from Location module. Its intended to focus on address only and let geocoding with other modules. Of course, integration is welcome.

Features:

• All countries of the world
• All states of all countries
• Node addresses thru CCK
• User address book
• Multiple addresses for nodes and users
• Phone and Fax fields as extras
• Generic API for developers: add more fields easily!
• XHTML, CSS, Drupal and PHP E_ALL valid code
