Well done, excellent effort
Yep I like that..... What about you AB?
effon exellent
Thats spot on, great stuff mate.
I can get that map to show up on the forum no sweat but how did you place the markers, etc?
Did you just manually put them in obviously???
We could still have it like this and just encourage all newbies to go this that thread and put their "approx" location in too maybe???

Besides not having any access to the forum data (obviously) and from the quick reading of some vBulletin forums I not sure you can export the info anyway. I will look into it some more. I would have to study up on KML, KMZ, or GeoRSS files as well as i haven't the faintest idea what they are!!!!!
And as 2....We could still have it like this and just encourage all newbies to go this that thread and put their "approx" location in too maybe???
I can change an option to allow anyone with the link to add there own location.......i dont have a prob doing that....
Members would also be able to add the location of there favorite 4x4 tracks as well if they wanted 2 :)
I did have a problem when adding placemarks, but that could be because of my beta version of Firefox, will have to test it with some other browsers before changing the option to allow other users to add.
Will test it out during the week when i have time and let u know on the weekend if i have turned the option on.
Cheers,
Todd
Thanks mate, yeah I do know that a KMZ and and KML are a file extension to run through Google Earth/maps. I did a little bit of this when doing the interactive maps category.
It's pretty full on and new to a lot of people as well.
I'm a little concerned about people manually putting placemarks on a map though. It may be something that Ill have to manually do.
Time just does not exist in my life at the moment but i'll also hunt around and see what I find too.
Thanks for your help mate.
No worries, i will not turn the function on. Do you mind if i keep adding members locations to the map i have until something better comes along?Quote:

You have to manually put your place on there like this one but It's fully compatible with this software so I'll play around tomorrow, get it installed and see how good it is...Thanks mate.

This has been doing my head in a bit and can't get the forum one to work properly.
I think it may better that it doesn't work anyway as a lot of people's forums slow down to a halt when all the members put their lcoations in as it sucks up a lot of memory.
So how does this work mate? Are you the only one who can add the locations or is it public?
I'll put this into its own category when it fills up a bit.
Are we able to get members to manually put their location in?
20 questions...lol....Thanks for all your help!!!
Hey Glen, we may have to send out a search party for Ross, I think that he must have taken the wrong turn to work???????????????Quote:

damn computers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
will reply to your other post re mapping later 2nite
No probs mate, just forget about the other mapping program. Apparently it slows forums down causes massive problems so lets stick with your idea mate.
If you put my truck just to the right of Katanning, youll be spot on. Thanks.
Yeah and he didn't even call in an say Gday, How Rude LOLQuote:

Good spot to put me in on the map toddrind, it's where I do most of my wheeling......hahahah
Well done mate
When we get more members on this map we will create a full category dedicated to the map.
If any existing members see this thread feel free to let us know your area here and we will add you on the list.

Seems to be building up thanks mate!
Any new or existing members see this feel free to reply to this thread giving us your "rough" location so we can build a map of our members....Cheers!
Also, just realised...Double clicking using left mouse button = zoom in
Double clicking right mouse button = zoom out.
Click and hold, move mouse around = move around map.
Thanks to Toddrhind and AB for great map is it going to be sticky for linked to our forum tool bar?
For sure Tim, Im trying to figure out a way to extract all of the users locations (that they have willingly given to us) and Todd is helping us to add the locations to the map.Quote:

Brilliant Todd as I said on the other thread mate, well done........maybe a pay rise heading your way http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/
http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/ just remembered that you do all do this for the love of it..............which is better than getting paid anyway.
Thanks Wayne, yep nothing better than doing it for love.
Speaking of pay rises, weren't you going for a new job???? how did it go?????
Todd you are the man & we all appreciate the hard work & effort you put into this mate. A massive contribution if I do say so.
