I thought the idea was to have the map on the home page,where people can see at a glance what clubs are near them.


In that case it's limited to 200px wide.

How about a small version on the home page that you click on to go to the clubs page where you have the full-sized map? REplace the list on the home page with the small map. It would probably say more and look better than the list does.

CSP announcement gone.

If people can send me the HTML (and CSS & JavaScript if any) and images for both a small 200px wide map for the home page and a big shinney do everything one for the clubs page then it's only a small job for me to merge them into the existing site ... well ... relatively small. The club details all come out of a database so they can be easily edited and are not hard-coded in so I'll have to add some fields for coordinates into the database but it's a lot less work for me if others can get a stand-alone version up and running!

Cheers for all the work you guys have put in so far!

thats great Bart,
How about this as the icon at the bottom left of the front page,

click it and you go to the page with the big map (clubs page), what to you think ??
Its difficult to get a colour scheme that looks great with the main page colour scheme.

It up to you Trevor to come up with the big bells and whistles map with all the clubs in it,

Yea, something like that but perhaps with the clubs on it? And definitely more in tune with the colour scheme.

Well, I can tune up my map, add the blue sea, and remove the gold dots perhaps, just leave the labels? Is my one too big?

Howdy,

Managed to get the addresses of many of the clubs and integrated to the map + the marker icon is now using the IFAS one.

These are the clubs I could not get the correct information for. They are just linked to their town for the moment.

Deise - Dungarvan
Deise - Waterford
Sligo - No website?
Tullamore - not mapped!
DCU - No website?
Slaneyside - could not find any info on this

The others should probably be checked by someone in the relevant clubs just to make sure it's not off by much (most sites are just linked to their respective roads).

If this is OK I'll cut out the relevant bits for Bart to put on a new page. As the correct locations of the above clubs are found it's a small text change in the file to fix.

thelunarscape.com/ifasmap/

BTW the logo was just a quick & dirty one. Can be changed easily. Should be something around 30x35 or so. Will chat with Bart on this one.

Thanks,

Trev
