DotNetNuke® Project :: Map Module

General

The Dotnetnuke:Map project is an initiative crafted from very popular smash up DotNetNuke Module, originally called GoMap. The module, using the Google Maps API, provides the ability to pump any custom data into the Google Map in a number of unique ways.

  • Standard Mode - Display all the points for the designated Module, simultaneously.
  • Playback Mode - Display all the points for the designated Module, in the order which they appear in your source data. This data can have associated times and dates that control the functionality of the playback. The most common example of this is the provided "Regions Online" map which plots the Users Online data - one point for each world Region, in the order which that region was first added to your user base. A very effective display, and fun to watch!
  • Positional Mode - Displays the points in your data source by Longitude, Latitude within a target radius. Whenever the user clicks the map, the points are automatically fetched from the server (via ajax of course) and plotted on the map around the selected point.
  • Directory Mode - Displays the points in your data source within a configurable directory structure. This directory, similar to most other map based directory components also uses the Positional Mode interaction, so you data is easily displayed regionally.

All of the interaction provided by the module uses AJAX functionality for fetching the points, meaning that the page performs at its peak, without loss.

TimeLine

Where is Dotnetnuke:Map today? After wading through a long period of extreme corporate pressures and workload (as I'm sure my other fellow Dotnetnuke team developers experience), we have released the first version of DotNetNuke :: Map.

The future of Dotnetnuke:Map is impressive, extensions on the framework are continually under development which will allow more options and mapping environments. The upcoming versions of Dotnetnuke:Map provide add-ins to support Yahoo Maps API, as well as provide the ability to create different view layouts.

Map Module: 10-4 Good Buddy

Oct 4

Posted by: Kevin Schreiner
10/4/2007

I completed my development and testing efforts as of Monday, and started today with the help of sebastian in getting the module into the Release Tracker. I ran into a few troubles over the last few weeks with issues in both the ClientAPI which I was able to provide a fix for and work around, as well as the UrlControl (Which is a documented and corrected issue do to postbacks). The UrlControl Issue I have resolved by checking the 4.x version number, and if less than the fixed version, using a textbox rather than the familiar file selector. However, the only main affect these had on the module involve 4.x and 3.x compatibility. It will not be 3.x compatible upon release.

While the module is in the Release Tracker - I am documenting the interface as well as the steps for setting up and populating the map points from both the front end, user table, custom queries and back loading. This isn't all that difficult, as everything is cleaned and localized within the module, and it makes sense - in general. Additionally, I am in the processes of converting all the existing GoMap modules on our public website to the Map Module.

Re: Map Module: 10-4 Good Buddy

Thanks - it's taken quite awhile to get it to completion. What type of content will you be placing in your maps?
