map where people are
« on: January 17, 2012, 01:09:35 PM »
Hi,

I would be nice to have like a sticky post with a map so see where the members are. That would also make it easier to find people close enough for plant exchange.

Mod Edit: The new Member Map! It was a great idea Tomas!

Good Idea!

I will see if there is a forum mod that allows for a map with more functions than would probably be allowed in a sticky. If not, a sticky it is. Google maps should be able to be embedded into a forum post.

Member map is up. You can click on Member Map in the menu to see where members are located. At the bottom of the member map is a link for you to add your own 'pin' to the map. That link takes you to your profile where you can ad a pin. Any problems let us know.

So cool that you can even enlarge the map to the point where you show your exact street location!  I mean, I guess that's cool until someone starts stealing my fruit(?)

Member's map....Great idea. It's helpful to know where people are situated when they go on about their fruit trees

I put mine in the middle of the road about 1/4 mile away.

Don't call yourself a lycheeluva. It's easy, just click on the member map button next to calendar and once in that page you will see some text at the bottom of the page that says to click here to add a pin. You will then be taken to you member page where you can put your pin. If you are still having trouble, message me.

if you use the "+" to enlarge the map it will make it much easier to pinpoint your actual location.

I noticed that it wouldn't let me put the pin in with Mozilla Firefox, only IE.
They're like the Varmint-Cong...

I pinned mine on my block, but not on my exact home location.  :)

 I only use firefox and I didn't have that problem. I wonder if others are experiencing the same thing.

You live pretty close to my grandmothers house. She's right south of Sheridan on Palm. I think her neighborhood's name is Victoria Lakes.

Cool. Yeah, I know what neighborhood you were talking about. I've passed by there a few times.

Represent! Put your pin on the map. Australia, Dominican Republic, Southern Portugal, Canary Islands outside America. More would be nice. More outside Florida too. Lots of California so far. Hawaii and Puerto Rico representing.

Murahlin - I follow your instructions to my page...go down and it says Member Map,
and then it talks about locating where you want to put your pin.....so where does
the actual PIN show up for me to move into position?  There is also a box to write
in to the right of Member Map header (on my profile page)  What goes in there?


ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh.......

If you just click randomly on the map a pin will show up. You can click as many times as you like and every time you click somewhere else on the map, the pin moves. I took the liberty to place a pin for you in Palm Springs to see if it was working. You can go into your profile and click anywhere else on the map to move it. If you type a city into the box it will automatically place a pin there.
