Hey folks,
I had some ideas about Tagzania and Drupal.
Tagzania provides the possibility to tag locations. (which are then displayed on GoogleMaps)
Drupal has a sophisticated taxonomy system (which are also tags... somehow ;) )
It is not really difficult ot let these two work together, but I am still looking for examples where this could be useful.
One possibility is to provide a map link for posts, showing the location of which this post is talking about (if it's flagged with positioned tag)
So if someone is talking about this cool new café in New York he can directly provide a map showing its location,
Tagzania is working with the Google Map API, which works quite good.
Another cool feature would be to find related posts to a specific entry (related because it's nearby).
---------------------------------
How could it work?
We create a (simple) space taxonomy in drupal. As example (for me ;))
global
- germany
-- muenster
---- university
---- home
-- berlin
-- cologne
- US
...
and so on
Every term in this taxonomy refers to a location, which is also a valid tag at Tagzania (and therefore linked to a position). Every entry is flagged with one or more category tags and one location tag.
-------------------------------
Do you have some other ideas which I can
