location

I've been dabbling in getting a kml module together for Drupal for a while and have recently got it to a state where it's useful out of the box and still has good potential for future development.

The Drupal KML module currently lets you add a 'KML' link to the bottom of all location-enabled nodes (requires location.module), which then fires up Google Earth for you. The single node KML link is the most obvious functionality in the module, but it also allows you to view all nodes, or all nodes tagged with a certain term. There is functionality also to create network links for any of these feeds, giving you a continually up-to-date set of nodes from your site in Google Earth.

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.

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!

For some marketing and SoC reasons, I have set up the http://drupaler.net/
I would be glad if PR-related information would be posted here, too.

As allready published at http://drupal.org/node/65828 :

At http://drupaler.net/ we are happy to announce the "Who is who?" drupaler site.

We are trying to collect:
- User profiles: http://drupaler.net/user/1
- User locations: http://drupaler.net/map/users
- Working groups: http://drupaler.net/og

for public access and these for registered:
- Chatbox: http://drupaler.net/chatbox
- Buddylist: http://drupaler.net/buddylist
- Several content types: http://drupaler.net/node/add

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 folks,

You might be interested in checking out mapthing. It is a simple module for creating google maps and mapping data points on them. I've abstracted out the data interface and there is a "plug-in" for CiviCRM data (please note that right now the CiviCRM module references are hard coded :( ). I got inspiration (and code :) ) from webgeer's cool GMap module. It's in contribs. Comments welcome.

Drupal, Hotdogs, and Beer of course. Only with our hearts full of love for Drupal and our bellies full of beer and random pig parts can we really do something really productive...like have our first official meetup.

If anyone knows of a nice centrally located (in Manhattan?) space suitable for a meetup, now would be a good time to suggest it. I was thinking that it might be nice to have a handful of places in mind so that people never feel left out if any one place is too far.

I have contacted a good friend of mine in the hopes of securing a rather large studio space at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Building, which is right by Columbus Circle. I personally would prefer to do either one Sunday or Monday night a month as far as the time is concerned.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have significantly updated the gmap.module. The most significant update is that there is now the module gmap_location.module packaged with it. This module includes the ability to display nodes that have lat/lon location information associated with them on a common map. It also includes a block that will show the current node on a google map.
