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.

Decimals Ready..

Nov 28

Posted by: Kevin Schreiner
11/28/2007

The package has now been released back into the tracker. It's odd how certain things crop up that you wouldn't have expected. So - our friends across the pond (from my perspective) have a different way of handling decimal points than myself. This came as no shock to me, but when running your code as a combination of JS from a remote server (in our case google), JS from the local server, SQL from the local server and VB.net on the local server, somehow it becomes as annoying as trying to handle the exchange rates prior to the adoption of the euro.

The Database expected it one way, JS another and .Net is ignorant of the issue, as it allows you to be lazy and it will do its best to accomodate. In any case - after tracking down each location where the Decimals where grafted from the front-end or back to it, as the case may be - I have finally sorted out the blasted creature - and we are ready to move onward.

A few notable updates were also made in this release. First - adoption of the less optimistic approach of Geocoding, now that Google detects when you are making requests too quickly. A few additional checks and defaults were added for those times when things are missing (like the height of the map). There were a number of other things that were modified to keep the system stable, and to correct any culture issues that were identified.

I'm looking forward to a successful release, as I've got a set of new features underway, and want to get them rolled out ASAP!
