[teacherone]

thanks max! + rep

i'm using joomla to build the site - the map comes from third party open source which i am modifying.

lol at polygons on mars no idea why that is integrated.

do you know any php????

 

[SanDiegoForPaul]

I have worked with some PHP. I'm mostly a .Net coder, but I can find my way around anything. Need a hand?

yes!!

just posted a new thread:

do you know any PHP?

could you help me modify this map program to be more user friendly at www.ronpaulrides.com. (click download - i'm using the component).

i think i may have done all i can :0

these changes are wanted:
--ability to login and alter previously place map marker
--modified and limited site marker input page
--modified map sidebar
--larger event icons but still color coded rides
----and more suggestions already in this thread

map program can be downloaded here: http://mapdemo.110mb.com/

Hmm, could be possible. Might be easier to work from new Google Map implementation. I'll have to take a look at it after work today.

hmm... not sure what you mean.

say you, Cleaner44, need a ride.

you click Sad Ron and you get to the map.

you see truckinmike has the same color as your destination. he's from your town too!

you write him a message and take off.

this seems to be requiring too much explanation - can you think of a way to make it clearer?

Ok that's all good. I was wondering because all of the other markers were destinations.

 

[Carehn]

So now that i have done it will i be able to see others or im i the only one going to reno that has posted on your site? How will this work?

 

[Carehn]

just testing it out and i cant find a way to contact myself if i needed a ride. It shows my town and name but no email or anything like that. Its most likely me and just giving you all the shit i can think of to help you make this work. I think this idea of yours is beasty for sher.

I think you should let people see the map with the destinations and the routes planned overlayed before they login, just my .02.

I think a lot of people will go to the site but might not take the time to register if they don't visually see what they are getting into.


Awesome site. I'll be promoting it to everyone I can for sure.

 

[thehighwaymanq]

NICE! This site is really good!

Great job and great work. I'm going to explore this idea today!

Hey I have a suggestion.... add a banner for the site down at the bottom with the rest of the ones you have down there so when sharing on facebook you can choose an image for the actual site rather than having to choose from one of the other sites you have in there. If you don't have time to make one I can come up with something for ya.

 

[teacherone]

bump!

 

[Eric21ND]

Just letting you know, the email sent to confirm my registration came up in my email as suspicious and blocked links and everything. Not sure why.

 

[QueenB4Liberty]

ok so no one is going to SLRC yet?

 

[teacherone]

youtube wouldn't even let me sign up with husmail - called it suspicious .)
