hamster Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Ever thought of maintaining a map of Papilio's World Domination, and putting a red dot on when a n order ships? I know that at least a few exist here in New Zealand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) that would be pretty cool, and not hard from a html/php standpoint. i 2nd the request.edit: altho, now that i think about it he wouldn't be able to track non-gadgetfactory store orderssince the different vendors probably dont report back to him shipping addresses, et al.

Jack Gassett Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hey, this sounds like a great idea! Also, sorry I've been a little less responsive then usual, I took a small contracting job that is taking up a lot of time. Should be done with it soon...Anyway, do you guys have any leads on php code or something to make this happen? This might be a good project for Dhia to work on.Jack.

Felix Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) re: less responsive jackdon't worry about the less responsive jack.. we all have real life things that take priority, time to time.. re: mapsomething like thishttp://www.raspberry...es/tag/rastrackwould take a ton of time (looks like he used a zoomed out + stitched google maps satellite screenie)but is possible. i really don't do much work with on the fly generated images, but i do knowhow to do it.. load up picture, use imagemagick to overlay your text/dots and save to file or sendto browser.... if dhia wants to tackle it, there is an ImageMagick page on php.net at http://php.net/manua...ook.imagick.phphowever, if we use the same type of bg (google maps satellite screenie)i do have code (html+php+js) that would let you put in an arbitrary amount of dots (in different colors)on an image (map in this case). i use it on one of my websites to track where players are in,in the games virtual world.adapting it to gadget factory should be easy.if you want i can do up a quick demo for you.the game map should be here www.slothmud.org/index.php?module=Dyn_Mapsbut i am not sure since i am at work and the site is blocked...the data is stored in a json array (funny since most people know how i feel about java technologies) which the php uses to generate the html that overlays the dots on the map. i use 3 or 4 colors but wecan use as many colors as you want ... red dot for 1-50 users, yellow for 51 to 100 users, green for 101+ users..whatever works.. each dot can also text which pops up when you hover over said dots..the only server side requirements are a place to put the image dots, and php5 (probably php4 would workalso)edit: you could also use the google maps api...https://google-developers.appspot.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/icon-simplebut i have never used it. doesnt look terribly difficult to do thohttps://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays Edited October 22, 2012 by Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Oh, wait, maybe we can just generate a kml file? I worked on a gps project years ago where I did something like that and it was surprisingly easy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LenBiar Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 The world map I created is no longer on the list of available maps. When I go into the map editor the title "World" of the map is there, but there is no thumbnail or edit button, only a delete button. Dont know if the 2 things are related but I just recently had my rank reset due to the rank bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
