 Posted: Mon Mar 07, 2011 7:14 am Post subject: Training map of Jiu Jitsu Forum members? |
 #1 |
JIU JITSU FORUMS MEMBERS MAP
View Jiu Jitsu Forum Map in a larger map
============== READ BELOW TO GET YOURSELF ADDED ============
I suggested someone do this over in this thread, and as someone has recently bumped it, I thought I might as well start things off. I've set up a map here.
That means if anyone wants to meet up and train with other people on here, they can get themselves added to that map. Post in this thread with your details (as much or as little as you want to add: I'd suggest forum name, location, club website, rank and contact details), and I'll stick you on there.
Presuming people like the idea, I'm probably not going to have time to get round to entering everything quickly if a lot of people post, so if anyone wants to help, let me know and I'll add you as an admin to the map (can have as many on there as we want, I think). Could even embed the map somewhere on this site. 
Google Maps are very easy to use: you just type in your location, save it to the map, then edit the placemark by clicking on it. The 'HTML' bit means you can put pretty much anything in there, so pictures and the like will work too. Only problem is that once you get to over 150 placemarks or so, they start spilling over onto the next page: the map can only display placemarks from one page at a time. There is a way you can get them to cluster, but I don't (yet!) understand the API. Something on the todo list once my PhD is finished.
If I take my entry as the example, the format I'd suggest is something like this (my understanding of HTML is very limited, so I'm sure the code here is pretty shoddy):
<span style="font-size: 90%;">
<b>Forum Name:</b> slideyfoot
<br><b>Contact:</b> <a href="http://www.slideyfoot.com/1999/01/brazilian-jiu-jitsu-bjj.html">slideyfoot.com</a>
<br><b>Name:</b> Can (Jun)
<br><b>Rank:</b> Purple
<br><b>Trains At:</b> <a href="http://rgaa.co.uk/index.php">Roger Gracie Buckinghamshire</a>
<br>7 Pembroke Road,
<br>Aylesbury,
<br>Bucks,<br> HP20 1BD
</span>
To put in a picture that inserts next to it, I shoved this at the top:
<img style="float:left;margin:0pt 10px 10px 0pt" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_Ix-tTDFty4Q/TXPTvRec98I/AAAAAAAABgk/al2ILHsmlRI/PurpleRGA_Bucks42x75.JPG" alt="" border="0">

Should I stick you as an admin on there too? Think you're already on the blogger map I did from a while back.

| As long as there are absolutely no responsibilities associated with the admin label. Being BS.net staff, teaching beginner classes for megalodon, managing the megalodon website, and training, and work, and all of the other things I'm doing leaves me no time for further shenanigans! |

Hah - just means you can add people to the map, so it is more than one person copy & pasting from this thread.

Because I can, I'm also matching the colour of the placemarker to the person's rank, if I know it. If I don't know the rank, or you'd rather it wasn't on there, I'll put it as yellow.

Presuming this does take off, should be very useful for planning US training trips! I've got a map for the UK, incidentally, although like I said, it has that problem of going into two pages now. There is a Blogger Map too, if any other bloggers happen to be reading (or indeed I can cross-post you, like I did with Kintanon).

Yeah, Roger tied it on yesterday.

Which one of those is the one you yourself train at? Or if you train at all of them, the one you train at most often?

HILTI JKL FC is a school I train and teach some. Proeliator jiu-jitsu is my own schools that i teach regularly. SO basicly I go to all of them just as much...  |

Heh - in that case I'll just pick one, unless you have a preference?

Thanks for the speedy add. I think this is a great idea and hopefully everyone will get on board.

No probs: hopefully Jack will pitch in with his thoughts (obviously I'd be wanting to add him as a collaborator on the map). For this idea to work, it would need to be a sticky thread, and preferably the map should be embedded somewhere on the forum too.
