So how did the install go.

It's not the easiest one I know but there is no other way for now

[Colejo]

I'll definately install this tonight to see how it looks.

[dsotmoon]

I'm planning a lot of modifications to it.

Because it writes to an xml file and reads it for posting the markers the performance in high volumes can become a problem.

So a pagination system might do the trick but that's not an easy one.

Integration of events can be cool too.

And it indeed uses full Vbulletin security :smoke:

On international level there still is a problem with the detail level of the maps so it's best to use L&L.

I'm however preparing the zip-code function and even an address function so you only give your address and het drops in your L&L.

Still needs some work but it's in progress.

First issue to solve is a pagination mechanism (not easy with xml creation and reading, and what criteria to take)

Yay I was waiting for this, thanks!

I've been considering working with the google map API system, but havn't found a suitable geocoding system to work with UK postcodes... I notice you plan to include this, just wondered if you'd made any more headway than I have in finding an address translation / geocoding service?

looks like an interesting mod, but not sure I'd use its full functionality on my forums... I'd be very interested to hear how you get around the address translation issue though!

good work
