Some custom ajax RSS box hacks
I have to say, I found a pretty large number of bugs in gmap and location that I had to fix, particularly around international addresses.
One of the main features of the site is the the storemap. For those that aren't into fish keeping, it can be hard to track down where the good fish stores are, so I wanted to create a google map mashup with fish stores and allow visitors to rate the stores. I'm still working on a lot of parts to the site, such as adding an RSS newsbox to the bottom of each online community entry, and creating a repository of how-to guides and whatnot. I'm also going to look into the gallery integration, as I've been using gallery on the site previously to store pics of my tanks.
PS, I tried to keep a running tally of the problems I encountered in location and gmap, but I got quite frustrated at one point and stopped keeping track. If someone is really interested in my changes, I can provide the modified files.

using diff you can provide patches so that they can be folded back into the module. patches can be uplaoded to the issue query of the modules in question.
I will do so. Thanks for

Will you not have a unique theme ?
One small question - how do you do the AquariaCentral Ticker ?
Eventually, I would like to
Eventually, I would like to get a theme just for the site. While I can do amazing things with code, any time I go into the world of graphics I end up with something so horrible that it causes hemmoraging of the eyes. And I am not up for having that on my conscience.
The ticker is pretty easy. I found an ajax javascript ticker and stuck it in a block. The one I used is here:
http://javascriptkit.com/dhtmltutors/ajaxticker/index.shtml
The source of the block looks like this:
[code]
.newsclass{ border: 1px solid orange; padding: 3px; background-color: lightyellow; margin-bottom: 1em; width: 200px; }
[/code]
Set to HTML input, of course. Making sure the permissions on the directories is correct was about the hardest part, since it pulls down the feed and stores it locally and feeds requests off the cache file, periodically refreshing the cache.

Just my advice
The placement of the menus isn't very effective, they should be higher up and grouped together, perhaps even placed in the Primary links menu. "Online Store" is missing an "s" by the way.
Move the Navigation menu and the login block to the bottom and join the "Main" and "Aquarium Stores" menus. You won't need a block heading for the main menu.
Thank you for the feedback.
Thank you for the feedback. I took your advice and changed the menus up.
