New (changed) feature: the usermap

#1

Post by panhead »

The Usermap adds a map with the location of the forum members. It is accessible through a link in the board's header.

How to add your location on the map:


* click on your name in the `Profile` tab

* click on 'User Control Panel'

* enter your postal code (like 12351, no spaces if applicable and only the postal code) and choose your country from the drop-down listed and click 'Submit'

If the combination is valid your location will appear on the map with your forum name. If you click on the location the user's profile is shown in a separate window.

If you are listed on the map you can find your postal code prefixed by your country's two letter country code and a hyphen and followed by a dropdown field to select a range in kilometers which determines the radius around that location in which Usermap will look for other users after the `Submit` button is hit.

I'll try to convert the entries from the previously used map.
I'll explain the use of POI's later.

Added functionality for the Usermap.

It's now possible to search for members. Type a username or part the username with a wildcard and click on 'Submit':
