Location

Type User Nids

This module allows you to consecutively number nodes of a particular type authored by a single user.
Generally used with the Token module (required) and the Pathauto module it's most common use is to create URL's for nodes without having Drupal's standard nid as part of the URL.

For example:
Assume you've created a form for users to fill out for each of their support requests. This 'request' form is a new Drupal node type. If a user named userfoo has 2 requests then the URLs for these could be consecutively numbered similar to the following:

www.example.com/request/userfoo/1
www.example.com/request/userfoo/2

and if userbar has 9 requests then the URLs for these could be consecutively numbered similar to the following:

www.example.com/request/userbar/1
www.example.com/request/userbar/2
... to
www.example.com/request/userbar/9

The numbers 1 to 2 for userfoo and 1 to 9 for userbar are created by this module. The above assumes that Pathauto is used to create an alias for all request node types similar to the following:

request/[author-name]/[unid]

Zipcode Redirect

tom friedhof - January 19, 2009 - 06:56

This module redirects users based on a zipcode that is entered on a site. This module provides a block with a field to enter in your zipcode and then determines the proximity of the zipcode to zipcodes you have specified in the module configuration. You can setup any number of zipcodes to check proximity against. You also add a URL for the TRUE and FALSE responses in the module settings page.

This module sets a cookie to remember your zipcode so you don't have to constantly put in a zipcode whenever you visit the site. Once you put in a zipcode, say on the front page of a site, you'll never get the "real" front page again, because it will automatically redirect you based on a cookie that was set to one of the URL's you specified on the module configuration. This module is also set up so you don't get sent into a redirect loop if configured improperly, if the block is placed on a page that was redirected to, the redirect stops and an error is sent to screen.

You can configure distance in kilometers and miles.

hCard

Shawn DeArmond - December 20, 2008 - 22:05

Adds a configurable microformats hCard block to your site.

Google Local, and other local search engines, are increasingly looking for an hcard on local business web sites. This module makes it very easy to configure one and drop it into, say, the footer of your site. It also does a little randomization of the content so that it's different on every page.

The Operator Firefox Plug-in recognizes the hcard from this module.

You can see it in action, such as it is, at Morrison's restaurant in Woodland, CA.

KML Parser

rsoden - December 4, 2008 - 14:26

A KML Parser for the Feed API module.

KML, or Keyhole Markup Language, is an XML dialect for capturing geographic features and their metadata. It is an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standard, and is very popular format for exchanging location data on the web.

This module provides parsing capability to Feed API so that it's possible to aggregate the contents of KML files into Drupal.

Note: This module is a somewhat limited in functionality, it doesn't yet expose some data, like style information or complex geometries, which can be stored in KML. Patches are accepted!

  • CCK based
  • Complete views integration, including proximity searches
  • Token integration
  • Custom location taxonomy (requires the taxonomy module to be enabled)
  • DHTML menu integration
  • Preconfigurable maps
  • Preconfigurable icons: built-in from the gmap project and Google charts based factory icons
  • Completely new Geocoder result parser
  • Completely separated, cacheable static maps

Nice Map

This module is a very basic WMS client which doesn't directly support tile based maps. Most online mapping sites are better served by the OpenLayers module which does.

Nice Map is a WMS client for Drupal. It comes with views module support and should work with latitude/longitude data stored by location module, geo module or basic cck number fields.

Here are some examples of sites using the Nice Map module:

Pandemic Preparedness Capacity Map
http://preparedness.interaction.org

InterAction: Contributions to Millennium Development Goal
http://preparedness.interaction.org/foodsecurity

Stumble Safely
http://StumbleSafely.com

OutSideinDC Bikes
http://outsideindc.com/bikes

United Nations: Stand Against Poverty
http://StandAgainstPoverty.org/en/events/map

This module has been developed with the support of the New America Foundation and Managing News.
