Hi,
I thanks for all your feed back on the WordPress Task Manager plugin.
I will not adding new function inside it. I now work on a new plugin. This plugin will help WordPress administrator to manage large database of gmaps marker in a WordPress blog.
Ok, so imagine that you have a blog and you need to mark on a map some interesting point. You can do it manually. It is long, hard to support, and not very efficient. More over it is a static presentation.
For example, on my other website energies2demain.com (fr) I tried to list all the dam in the world. I know, there is a lot of them.
So first I make a static list, with a page, separate in different country, than static link to Google map. I took me forever to add a single dam. And for the visitor isn’t very “user friendly”.
So I start to imagine a system to manage the marker. In the administration panel, the administrator will have different menu : item to manage marker, visualisation to manage how the marker are classified ( as a result how the user can access to them) and item type.
In item type you define your own kind of item. A default item as just coordinate. If I use my example of the dam, I can the power, the size, …
So then when I’m going to add a new item, i will have to write the power, the size of the dam.
The visualisation are an other part. It is like a menu. You create root category for example Dam type or Country, and add subcategory like France, Germany, Japan. You will able to add as many subcategories that you want.
For each item type, it will be possible to define several visualisation.
Gmap logo
So when the user will go to the page of the visualisation, He will first select if he wants to see all the dam in Germany or all the arch-gravity dam. The google map is going to refresh to display all the marker that reflect the choice.
Some other features are planned. Please let me know what do you think of this idea.
