Adelaide Projects List & Interactive Map

Postby AtD » Wed Nov 28, 2007 5:51 pm

The project list has been replaced with a new sortable list. Not only does it make it easier for me to edit, it also allows the data to be integrated into the Google Maps API!

The list:
http://buildinglist.photoadelaide.com/

The map:
http://buildinglist.photoadelaide.com/Map.html

The coding of the map is not quite complete. I know of a few bugs, and have a few more features to add, such as colour-coded points. Not all of the projects on the list appear on the map yet.

Feedback appreciated! As before, please let me know of any errors or omissions here.

Sorry - added!

I don't have the site automatically add the projects to the map. it hands the address to the Google Maps GeoCode function, which returns a latitude and longitude. Sometimes the GeoCode function gives weird co-ordinates. I've had many appear somewhere in the USA! Because of this, it's set up so I have to review each point before it appears on the map.

We're in the process of writing a way so you can, at a glance, see which projects don't have map markers.

Awesome awesome awesome work mate. :) Very simple to use.

Just wondering in future versions, in the projects list could you add in a thumbnail photo next to the project?

Brilliant.. noticed the tags are different for U/C, proposed etc.. nice one!

Just a small thing, can we get it to open links in a new window rather than the same window? that'll let us look at more than one at a time.

I'm not sure what you mean. You could always shift+click or ctrl+click.

Can't thank you enough. It's easier to navigate around the construction lists.

Not sure what you specifically mean, but I had the idea of having it as a sticky at the head of the C.B.D. index as that is the aea it is focussed on. Or, to have it as the entry point to the site - specifically listed at the start of the index board.

A top idea aid. - REALLY APPRECIATED. :D :D :D :D I had the idea about 8 months ago but just did not have the It knowledge to fully implement it. Have a hard copy of my version (from Oct.2008 till now) for all projects over 10 floors - proposed, approved, U/C.

It's an excellent way to see trends, height changes, plot ratios, for future planning of such as tramlines etc., visuals at a glance, buiolding function interrelationships, Interesting to see the KWS sth developments.

^^^^^^What Howie means mate is when you click on the link it overides the S-A link rather than open in a new window.

Great work Adam and as others have said easy to search for a specific development. Thanks mate.
