Member Map - Enhancement

[tcarroll2]

I would like to add code to utilize GeoNames, OpenLayers, and OpenStreetMaps to display a world map with a pin for each member in an organization.

To do this, I believe a module or plug-in would be the most efficient way to achieve these results.

-Build a loop to step through every user's profile to obtain their postal code/zip code

• If a user does not have a postal code/zip code listed Query GeoNames to determine a general postal code/zip code based upon their country, province, and city/town
  -Query GeoNames by postal code/zip code for the latitude/longitude coordinates of a postal code/zip code
  -Using the array of coordinates query use OpenLayers to create a world map and populate the map with pins (configurable for the type of member/user) for each user.
  -Each pin will have a popup that would display the member's information (profile link, link to send private email)

This idea can be observed at ZeeMaps and I believe it would be a great add-on to Admidio to improve the social experience.

I do not see your project is active, nor can I find an active project by you using OpenLayers to render maps in Admidio. Do you have a link to an active project?

i only liked your issue to my issue. i don't have started with the impl of this module

Ah. Okay. I'm working on mine locally right now as a plug-in.

That could be a good enhancement for roles. You can start as a plugin but we could later integrate this in the core of Admidio. It would be a good idea if your script work with the role id. So we can create a member map of each role.

great idea! Could be linked as a lightbox in the role list for example.
