Adelaide Projects List & Interactive Map

[AtD]

Guys,

I'm sorry I haven't been updating this list of recent. The reason being I've had my partner create a neat little database. I've been spending every other spare moment I've had updating every entry ever (and boy, were some wrong!). There's still a few bugs, and I haven't copied across the projects outside the CBD yet.\

The reason I've had this database done is because maintaining this list has really become a chore, simply because its a clumsy piece of text with no interface. This new database has made updating entries a breeze already.

I'm posting it now because it doesn't look like I'll have time to finish this before our internet is cut and we move to Canberra. Hopefully I can 'borrow' some wireless somewhere in the mean time.

As usual, please let me know of any errors, and also any bugs! I know the sorting and the project relationships are a bit borked.

Cheers.

Looking good mate, thanks for the effort you've put into it

Top Work mate!! Looking fine there.

Wondering it it were possible to build a function to export the db entries as bulletin board code?

[AtD]

Thanks guys.

Howie, I'm sure it's possible. Another thing on the to-do list is to export the addresses as points for Google Maps, using their API.

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:

The map:

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.

That is fantastic!

Nice work mate. Really appreciate your work you've done on this

On the map, i couldn't seem to find 20-22 currie street?

[AtD]

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?

Absolutely brilliant well done.

We added the links to the Google Earth 3D models for ya Howie. Also a few cosmetic changes.

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.

[AtD]

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

[Howie]

ahh.. true, just thought it might be good to make it new window by default.
