Map showing Cumulus users

[BeaumarisWX]

@beteljuice, many thanks for doing this. I've added my site to your map.
Though Australia/Tasmania has no Country Flag. shows up as A1.png (should be AU.png).
Kindest Regards,

OK - current operational philosophy ...
There is no intention for the map to receive or trawl for user(s) info - ie. NO dynamic information.
It is not meant to show climate data nor website status.
It is simply a who / where map - remember this while I answer questions / muse about things.

Click on marker = center map and zoom in (I.e. can't be used for external link)
Hover on marker = momentary pop-up ie. You can't actually mouse onto the pop-up to put a link there.

User definable "Auto Pilot" - what a great idea, then I thought WHY ? - It's just a map, no dynamic content - if you <IFRAME> you can always put your links below
BTW If anyone wants to experiment - width = 700px

"What would be the use of being on the map without a website?" - So that others know where you are and have an appreciation of the number of users.

"When you add the link to websites, can there be a list of program/equipment being used?" - If there is a website, then it is up to that user to provide an "about" page ... besides, you'd need a couple of screens or more to list all the progs you run

"why would anybody be interested in a beteljuice swimming in the middle of he Channel?" - It was while the beteljuice was testing the water - as a non-user it will be removed.

Although I catered for names like 't Zandt (Damn difficult when you're mixing js and php arrays) - forgot the basics of computer speak 'sort', so ...
multidimensional / multi array sort modified - user table now in human order.

AU flag no longer 'walkabout' (typo in look-up array)
Website links (when applicable) in user table.

... but ... I'm still trying to workout how Terry managed to enter 'new zealand' (all lowercase)
Edit: Aha - I think he just kept typing and ignored the dropdown ?

Keep the comments coming (for now )

The Beteljuice toy is very interesting.
Perhaps it could be the embryo of a new world map of Cumulus users.

Saludos a todos desde San Sebastian

@Terry ... forgiven

Nearly as far as I'm going to take it.

Final location: www.beteljuice.co.uk/CuMap/index.php

Admin: www.beteljuice.co.uk/CuMap/index.php?admin

new facilities ....
You can 'enable' the home button on the auto-pilot, this also stops you being zapped
www.beteljuice.co.uk/CuMap/index.php?userID=dickie

You can choose to not display the user table by adding table=false
www.beteljuice.co.uk/CuMap/index.php?userID=dickie&table=false

You can initialize map to a country by adding country=???? ??? NB: MUST be exactly as seen in dropdown selector
www.beteljuice.co.uk/CuMap/index.php?country=Uruguay
NB: If the above link doesn't work try <cntl><F5> to force a refresh of the js file

Edit:
... looking at map initialization 'home'.
... and there's more

in conjunction with ?userID=????? you can add &gotome - map initializes to world then zooms to you.
www.beteljuice.co.uk/CuMap/index.php?userID=dickie&gotome

but wait, why not use &country=??? ??? as well
www.beteljuice.co.uk/CuMap/index.php?userID=dickie&gotome&country=United States

Edit #2: To use in an <iframe> on your site ...

Code: Select all

<iframe src="http://www.beteljuice.co.uk/CuMap/index.php" style="width: 700px; height: 970px; border: none;"  allowfullscreen></iframe>

See it in action here.

Just instructions (like this post) to put on bottom of admin page.

@ FORUM admin - Advise please, best start all over again in third party tools ???

Will be putting everything a new topic in 3rd party tools soon .....

You didn't check your map pin - wrong side of the World

I've corrected it for you

@beteljuice: could you remove my pin/account? I'll have to redo this because I forgot my pw (or could you make it work with pw managers?)

Hover on marker = momentary pop-up ie. You can't actually mouse onto the pop-up to put a link there.

You are more inventive than this
It just about choice of how to use and display your markers and how to zoom etc...

A table is OK, but real effective user interface is a clickable marker.
You're using leaflet just as I do so I don't see why not?
