Members And Events Map - New Feature

[Mike]

Opening this up for a run out for next day or so

Basically its a site map feature that displays two things

1. members locations

2. upcoming events

1. members location

these can be entered by members (obviously you may not wish to enter your exact location - however in future your location could if wish define what events you see) )

you can choose to view al members locations or just your friends

2. events location

may have noticed the map feature in events

this now goes the next step and enters all events on one map

(just hit the show events button)

blue is allnighter/weekenders and red is everything else

trial run - it is a trial run out , it is members only

more refined features will follow shortly

for now the main testing is members locations

members can assit by entering a location to see how it copes

link below

use buttons at top for events, friends and entering your location

I think its a great feature, and it really helps me out, a bit slow with putting links ect on my threads, brilliant idea, cheers

[Diggin' Dave]

Great feature. I wonder how many people from my town are o the forum besides me (0 is my rough guess )

[bunty]

I think this is brilliant! I've spent hours today map reading to find mileage etc. for different venues!

I wish I had seen this earlier! hope you do decide to keep it.

although it didn't show the torquay weekender event in May which is on my doorstep?

dont be suprised if you wake up and find a few soul nites outside your door

i've already had to "rescue" some events that were a few 100-1000s of miles out

its member led and only just started - so event sshowing are ones recently entered/edited

members/promoters have to submit the events in the event guide

if enter the location it will then automatically gets picked up by the map feature

along with a forum thread getting started automatically as well

mike, when i registered my location on it earlier, the only things i could see were a handful of members markers - no events listed - what was/am I doing wrong?

My location will probably link up with a few other members locations.

But Dave, surely Ghent is the centre of the Soul Universe with you as its primary star

there should be a event button

ahhh... are you using the alt skin ?

if so thats why, i always forget about updating that

[pikeys dog]

yep, using alt skin as the new default one sends my vision wappy.

[Mike]

begining to hate that alt skin

should now show the event button

in what way Joe ?

in what way Joe ?

Too many boxes within boxes.

The number of blue outlines make it difficult to differentiate between posts (esp. when quotes are used).

sort of borders too wide for ya ?

maybe in near future can offer variants of the colour, or tweak the current one abit

i start another thread up in a bit

on members map/event map

currently doing a few improvements over next hour

so may be some turbelence if visit it during this next hour

final touches before opening to all

can now view the following maps

1. all events (that have been given a location in the event guide)

2. All events that are on next month

3 all events that are on next week

4 local - all events that are with 75 miles 120 km of your location (you must add your location for this feature!)

5 all members locations ( all who have entered their location)

6. all friends location (as above)

[Mike]

not a great response to the members location feature

it is planned to be a main part of this and event guide feature

as once you have entered your location

can then see what events are on in your own area both in map form and later on via the event guide

is anyone having problems entering ?

or not sure how it works ?

or is there something I am missing ?

[Diggin' Dave]

Don't understand why there's so little response to this myself. Was hoping to make a trip through the UK with my records instead of making a new sales list, and this map could come in very handy when I'm planning my route.

Maybe you could sticky it for a short while in aats?

not sure if everyone gets what its about or maybe think its about the map showing in the events page

will give it another push once open to all
