Mapping tool

Post by Caol_ila »

Hi!

On L-welse.com theres a very nice new tool (especially for a geographer)
You can click your Location on a map and then it enters your nickname, so others can see which members live near them. Dunno if this is available for this forum software but it sure looks nice and on PC i think it would be an impressive spread across the globe.
cheers

I'd have no problem putting that in here, but, personally, I'd rather click on a map to find where a fish comes from...

Maybe you can show Rusty where the facility is an we can guage whether we should include it or not.

There is a really excellent interactive map of the South America river systems on Cichlid-Forum.com by Marc Elieson.

(Sorry I forgot who originally posted the link to it here on PC.) Perhaps we can contact him regarding it's inclusion on PC.

The link is here:

Looks like it's a vanilla mod for InvisionBB. Other forums have it installed as well: http://www.corydorasworld.com/forums/in ... =membermap . Unfortunately I think it would be tough to implement on our phpBB install.

I take it there is no phpBB equivalent?
