Member map updates

[RobertD]

Hi everyone,

A few weeks ago, ironman suggested that we add a member map to the forum. The idea is that you can see where people live more easily -- and get together for rides, help, etc.

I've been working on the idea, and I think I have the solution! More info as it develops.

The base code for the member map has been installed. I'll be working on the site this evening to change the templates. You're welcome to play with the map now -- but since we're not finished you may get deleted a few times. When it's stable I'll post again and let everyone know!

 

[ironman]

you .......the .........man........ i think this is just one more thing in making our site the number 1 go kart site there is.

 

[RobertD]

Thanks ironman for the good advice in the first place!

OK, everyone, it looks like the map is good to go. If there are any hiccups, problems, or things that don't make sense, please let me know here and we'll work on them.

o so thats why the usercp button is removed. cool

 

[ironman]

real easy to do to put your self on the map just follow what it says.

 

[ironman]

looks like by looking at the map so far that the east side of the states is where all the karters are so far .hum........ i know where i think a kart rally should be held at,

Well that's just absolutely freaking great, me and magice are outnumbered. :arf:

 

[ironman]

see you west coast boys need to come over to the east side and see how we run our karts!

tried to put push pin in my driveway and it won't stay in. pin.

 

[RobertD]

I've noticed that when you review your pin it's not perfect, but if you look at where you put it when viewing the "big map" then it should be ok.... update me if that helps.

 

[ironman]

Im surprised i thought there was for sure lot more people from other countries on here but from the map you don't see any.

Problem is caused by "cartographerophobia" or fear of mapmakers.
