Thank you for taking on board my comment, Edward. I had a dev do one of these for me already but yours looks much better so I've made the jump!
Congratulations! I hope one day I'll dare to have an attempt too. At the moment, though, I wouldn't even know where to start. Hats off to you for getting stuck in.

New version 1.0.1
Message is now translatable for multi-lingual sites Note: Upgrading may remove the content of any existing message so I recommend that you copy what you have before upgrading.



With thanks to @Adriano Faria and @CodingJungle for some tips and sample code.

Thank you.  At the moment the left, centre and right is only for the 'custom' setting.  Your screenshot looks like one of the standard IPS styles which are always left or right aligned depending on your language direction.
This was an exercise for me to start learning the framework and, to ape a well known phrase, right now 'what you see is what I know'!  I agree though and will have a look.

It looks great and I shouldn't complain about something that's free but it could be more useful for people with multilingual sites if the message were a translatable field. Maybe something to add in a future version

For anyone who's interested what member map looks like with just under 10,000 markers then take a look:

this is the pre-release that Martin A has been working on ??

Yes the public folder can go after the 3.x to 4.x upgrade.

Works great - many thanks for the swift feedback and update.

Yes, in the settings you can define your "bounding box". Search for a place you want to be central in your map. For the UK you could probably set Leeds to be the center of your map, and then play around with the zoom level till you get the result you want.
 
I'll send you 3.1.0 Beta 2, that should fix that issue.

Is it possible for content with a collaboration to also appear in the main IPS applications please?  For example to have a collaboration calendar also appear under the main calendar application so we can still see all events in one place?
 
Thanks

Did you read the requirements? 
if ( ! \IPS\IN_DEV ) { $errors[] = "Not suitable for public use. Will not properly install/upgrade"; }  

I'll send you a PM.

I've just uploaded 2.0.0 to the Marketplace.

In the current version this is controlled by the 'Bing Theme' that's used, the next release removes this theme and has plain white info boxes. I want to style these a little nicer in future versions.

And as a general note for everyone, 2.0.0 has been undergoing QA for a few days, with a new build being tested today. Release isn't far away.

Zoom level has changed in the next version, although for now you can edit /public/js/jq.membermap.js line 254

Fairly soon, I want to push out another 'beta' release when I've finished the interface for adding member markers.

Next version has a dashboard plugin:



This dashboard plugin will try to fix missing folder/permissions, but will let you know if there's still a problem. Hopefully this will address the most common questions that have been asked about 2.x Beta

If it's that important to you, go pay someone to do it, This is a free app that I have supported for almost 4 years in my spare time. I'm sorry that I don't have time to work on this for nothing.

I would usually ask for more information, because your markers are not deleted, but in this case, I can't be bothered.

I'm deeply sorry that you can't take an extra minute to post a bug report to the PROPER place to track it, it makes my task of dealing with them more efficient. Maybe I shouldn't bother spending large amounts of my time on free apps.
