My users have been hounding me to get a user map going to look up people in their area, seems like you could use the "location" field in a users profile to out put a user map. Here is one I found: http://www.godsofoffroad.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=;action=mmall;defmap=usa Looks like it is part of yabb, could we get something like that? Might get real crowded by state if you have a lot of users though, maybe show red pins by state, but when you click on any of them from one state it simply opens up a list by state, then users can browse from there. What do you think?

That's a great feature! Just some minutes ago I found another site with a similar user-map. Then I came here and found your suggestion, what a surprise <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />I really like the implementation, it covers the whole world and still is a clear display of all users locations. Looks simply perfect.<br /><br />It's a Mod for YaBB: MemberMap 2.1.<br /><br />Maybe we could ask the developer if we can port his mod over to ubbt. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I too have been struggling with this type of mod myself. We have a recovery list that people can use to see who ot call in their area if they get stuck. At one time we had a map of michigan just in plain HTML with an image map that had to be manually updated.<br /><br />That got to be a real PITA so I scratched that and now I just made it so people can automatically enter data and display as a text list. I would eventually still like to do the map but I had no idea how that would work <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

After a closer look... looks like the Mod works with simple pixel-coordinates. The user has to place a pin on one of the available maps. So just the name of the map and x/y is stored in his profile. <br />That's just my guess, because you can't see any pins on the "Northamerica"-map, but eight on the "USA"-map. If it would work with longitude and latitude the pins could be displayed on every map that covers several smaller extracts.<br /><br />I would prefer longitude and latitude - but anyway, a very nice mod!

This is a great feature ! <br />Looking around YaBB has serveral nice features.<br />I especially like how they package their mods to be self applying. <br />

they have something like this at albinoblacksheep.com<br /><br />It would be cool if the map was displayed on your profile and you could put the pin in it from there and type a short message that displays when your icon is hovered over. <br /><br />This would be great for me because the forum I run is for nurses, mainly travel nurses who travel all across the country. They would love this for keeping up with where others are at. <br />

What? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /><br /><br />They have that Triumph the insult comic dog one where he makes fun of the star wars nerds. That is the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life. I watch it once a week!<br /><br />

Would someone be more motivated to make this hack if there was money involved? I am willing to pay for something like this. I think it is a great idea and it would be an awesome addition to my site......anyone?

Hmmmm .. I might be interested in doing that. I'll take a look at the above links, and see what's involved.

Basically storing X/Y coordinates and map name for each user then displaying the graphics accordingly.

I'd like for them to be able to type in a short message as well. For instance, "Jane Doe, rn, on assignment in San Diego California" whenever the mouse is hovered over their cursor.

I would have created this for a fee as well but I'll leave that up to Dave_L. I didn't want to barge in. LoL <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
