Generate a map for each event #7

Open nukeador opened 12 years ago

nukeador commented 12 years ago

We need to show a map in each event page, getting the address from event information.

nukeador commented 11 years ago

I've been testing http://leafletjs.com for displaying maps and it's great, but we need a way to translate addresses to coordinates.

cloudmade.com offers also geocoding, so we should look for a way to use their API in python.

For now, I've implemented a gmaps iframe based on address and city, but we'll need leafletjs for a big map with markers on main page and don't depend on google for mapping.

The map is already on the events right??, or this is for include the map in the mainpage?? If it's the first option, we should close this issue.

nukeador commented 10 years ago

This is open because we wanted to implement the maps with other technology and don't depend on gmaps.

francjp commented 10 years ago

which alternatives do we have, and which one have the simpliest API implementation??

nukeador commented 10 years ago

We can keep this open to have it in mind, but it's a "good to have" not a "must have".
