I know of the buggy map (doesn't work at all with Mozi/Firefox), where guests can enter a message, a 'better' guestbook, but that's not what I'm after.


What I would like, is a mod that checks for user location, and according to the number of users (one should be able to set this), the specific country turns into a different colour (e.g. <5users==blue, <10==light blue, <25==orange....).

This way users of a site, can with a glimpse get an overview of worldwide participation (not very ineresting for local sites maybe, though, it would have an amusing side effect, if a site was heavy on one country, and there there is this one member, sitting {most likely down under} on the other side of the planet, as only member from far away).


It seems to me at times, that we XOOPSers come from all corners of this planet. I would like to be able to view a map, that tells me, how many users exist in which country.

Again, not everyone provides this information, other countries (such as XOOPStopia, or "AlongWayFromHome") are difficult to locate on a 'world-map', never the less, I believe, things like this will be taken care of by the law of averages, due to the number of members we have. Also, having such a feature would inspire more people to actually enter their location.


Just an idea for a bored developer (there must exist something like that...)

Globetrotter is the "buggy" module you mentioned. The latest version of the script fixes the Moz/Firefox issues, but I haven't got around to porting it yet.........

If you can find a PHP script that does what you suggested, it wouldnt be that difficult to modularise.

It's not exactly what you wanted, but have a look at this , it looks easy enough to port to Xoops

I believe, that one of the member mods uses this script ... not sure though!

I've commited to more than I have time for! So I can only be of any help, when it comes to bitching and whining


Was just an idea I had Though, would be very happy if you takt this on, maybe you can find a PHP dev to help along....


...and thanks for your replies and effort
