Visit Map!!

[masterpsk]

Hi!

Browsing the web as usual I found a very nice site where you can have a visitor map, not like the others like GeoLoc, etc...

This map uses the Google Maps API and you can see it working on Subdreamer Hispano (http://www.subdreamer-hispano.com) ... Its really easy, this is what you need:

1.- The IFrame Wrapper (http://www.subdreamer.org/sd_plugins/p13_sectionid/3/p13_fileid/4) Plugin (Hey Abcohen!! :P)

2.- Make an account here!! (http://myguestmap.lorca.eti.br/index.jsp).

3.- Fill all your info and options on your Admin Map Page. (Not SubDremer Admin Page).

4.- Install the IFrame Wrapper Plugin and add the SRC from your Admin Map Page (is at the bottom of the page)...

5.- Try it!! ...

Your visits can leave their position on the map... you can see my icon on my map, you can leave your icon too!! :P

Good Luck!!

Look into what? :P

This guy is making that map using the Google's API and TLabel (plus his own hack)... but i dont know anything about JS, JSP... so all i can do is use your plugin to get it on SD :P

thats what I'll have to look into :P trying to get it out of an iframe...
perhaps if users can run jsp it could be come a local plugin (but as I see from the admin section, it gives you code to place it in an iframe already)

yup.. i tried the same usign the Googles API.. but i need to know JS... I tried to make a "code-mix" with "my account" on that site and my API account but as i dont know JS i can do anything better lol...

About you can see from the admin section (the code gived)... is just this:

<iframe border="0" frameborder="0" id="imap" name="imap" width="404" height="490"
src="http://myguestmap.lorca.eti.br/guestmap.jsp?id=masterpsk&locale=es" />
A simple IFrame, just the SRC is important here, and the "gestmap.jsp" takes 2 values like a .php file "?id=masterpsk" and "&locale=es"... you can see the source code with your explorer and it makes an "include" and bla bla bla bla bla i dont understan lol...

But if you really want to try it or someone knows JSP and can help hehehe can take a look to http://gmaps.tommangan.us/tlabel.html thats what this "Visit Map" is using...

What i did read on that page is you must create all that with events on mouse clicks etc etc, like:

1.- onclick, show form
2.- the form saves the info on a BD (or a plain text file)
3.- reading the API info you can found how to add "notes" at Latitude and Longitude, better using TLabel :P

Good Luck!!
