Serendipity geotag plugin extended with a location picker

Posted on November 8, 2005 by Zoran Kovačević

GLocationPicker is a (very) small script that can be used to integrate a location picker into other applications. When called, it displays a Google Map. Clicking on a location, sends back the coordinates into the configured textfields.

I have updated the Serendipity geotag plugin with the location picker. No need to know the coordinates anymore, only topographical knowledge required.

This is supposed to be the simplest implementation that would work. Obviously, implementing a full fledged geocoder solution would be the next step.

Serendipity Geotag plugin

Posted on October 26, 2005 by Zoran Kovačević

Well, I finally found the time to make a first version of a geotag plugin for Serendipity:
- serendipity_event_geotag (allows for lat/long metadata for events, puts it in the rss2 feed, provides a link to a mapping URL like Google Maps)
- serendipity_plugin_geotag_gmap (shows a Google Map, shows the entries on the map)

This site is the demo for the plugins. I generally geotag the entries in the places category, the feed of which is shown in the Google Map on the top-right of this page.

update: I’ve turned the map off for now, because it somehow doesn’t work in MSIE :( Firefox users can check out this temporary demo site.
