*** Unofficial Users Map ***

Post by beteljuice »

Following discussion elsewhere I have created an Unofficial Cumulus Users Map.

You can use it as a standalone link or drop it in an <iframe> on your site. (NOT if you are https)

Create / Edit a marker: www.beteljuice.co.uk/CuMap/index.php?admin

Barebones url: www.beteljuice.co.uk/CuMap/index.php


You can 'enable' the home button on the auto-pilot, this also stops you being zapped and makes your marker RED :D
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

... and there's more :shock:

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

To use in an <iframe> on your site ... Edit ... Will NOT work if your site is 'secure' (https:// )

Code: Select all

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

That's it .....

Hi
This seems to be a very good idea, I have added some basic details to a map pin for me ie user name and location and it saved the info on the list. When I closed the page and reopened it whilst my user id showed on the list the map did not.

Do you have any thoughts on this problem?

Thanks

AndyK

It seems to be because 'AndyKF650' has entered his lat/long in an invalid format...
49.11.49, -2.2.2

The script is expecting decimal numbers. Some input validation is required.

Hi

Thanks for the assistance mark, I have updated my location to a decimal and all seems to look fine. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards

The map isn’t visible when viewed on a W10 laptop but is on my iPad. :?

Hi Ray

I am looking at the map on a W10 pc with no problems, perhaps it is your pc browser settings causing the issue.

In defence of the beteljuice it does say (decimal) next to the input field, and the "Tip" to find / fine tune the location, points you to values that are decimal notation, plus the map code itself validates and advises of lat / lon ranges
..... but apparently doesn't check if they are numeric in the first place :bash:

numeric check at Point Of Entry introduced ;)

I am sooooo pleased about that. I thought we were going to have an "Edge" problem - In which case I would have pulled the plug :x

Don’t use Edge. Still with Firefox. :D Any chance the link could appear on the main forum page at the top like in the olden days?

That needs must be an executive decision - but I would recommend waiting to see what the "take-up" is, and if any serious bugs come to light,
