Aug 10, 2011
J!Places is a highly configurable Google Maps Location Manager, and is used to give the ability to your users to:
J!Places provides all registered Joomla! users the ability to create Google Map locations, check-in to locations in their area, socialize with other users, and generate content that is unique to their location(s).
J!Places Features
It comes packed with extra features, such as:
Each Google Maps Location includes (optional):
J!Places with J!Places Unlimited Fields enabled will also give you the option to add unlimited fields (radio buttons, check-boxes, select lists, text and textarea inputs) to the place-creation page, to define your places any way you want!
Some Rules
Advanced ACL
You can have private Places, where a check-in must be approved by a place-administrator. Once a user check-in has been approved, future check-ins to this place by the same user do not need to be approved again.
You can also have secret Places! This places appear ONLY to users who were invited to them!
Users who were invited to a place, can immediate check-in! No admin-approval needed.
Difference between Place Name and Location Field:
Each Place (Google Maps Location) holds a "Location" field. Why is that? Here is the difference:
A Name identifies the place, eg. Mall's Shop.
A Location identifies the location of the place, eg. The Mall.
Understandably, a location like a mall, can hold many different shops inside, shops who are actually located on the same location, but have different names!
This is the most simple explanation that can be given to this, however this can be functional in many situations.
NOTE If you are using J!Places to add venues to SuperEvents, please keep in mind that the name of the place is NOT being taken into account! The "Location" field is being stored as the name of the venue. This is to maintain compatibility between the components.
NOTE Please notice that on desktop computers and laptops, Google may get your location wrong, because your ISP is transmitting wrong geolocation data. This is not the case on mobile devices (smartphones, iPhones, PDAs, etc.), where the geolocation is being transmitted correctly.
J!Places is a stand-alone application but it also provides total integration with the following Joomla! components (if they are present on your site):
J!Places sports a clean design that will blend in with any template structure and allows for easy customization using CSS.
With different security settings for locations, location descriptions, news and images, location photo galleries, location video galleries, AJAX discussion areas, and AJAX wall features!
Invite your friends and all comers to your public place, or closely investigate the approval of attendance to your private or secret place!
Be it a secret gathering place, or an open-air stadium of Olympic proportions, you can mark them now all on Google Maps, upload photos and videos of them, and watch how other users are checking in to your popular places!
J!Places is an open-sourced product with the following requirements:
Joomla!1.5, Super Messenger (optional), PHP5.2+, MySQL4+, cURL Library
J!Places will work as stand-alone but also supports and integrates with Community Builder & JomSocial!
