Who Can Assist w/ Frappr.Com

[BryanH]

How come there are only 4 members?  Is this a different group than the other SMC group on Frappr?

Hey Bryan,

With some of the concerns presented, I'm not putting personal info up there if memebers do not want to participate... I only placed a few for demonstration...

       Street adresses are fine for restorers and suppliers. I am more than happy to have new people stop in my store.....but would be less than happy if they dropped in on me at home   

       Let's all get on the map to show our relative location, but post only telephone numbers and e-mail adresses. Members can then disclose further information as they see fit.

[BryanH]

Ok - so how do we add our info or are you just looking for input on the feature?  If it's the latter, I like it.  It'll help with the route66 forum questions.

Could have it so it displays whatever is in your profile.

Glen,

In order for the system to know here you're located, the minimum I was hoping for is City, State and Zip Code fields... However, it also seems to need street addresses which may be part of Google's API code to automatically place a marker on the map for each person...
At any rate, perhaps utilizing your store address may suffice, or if this is still a problem, we don't have to include you on the map at your request...
Lastly Glen, perhaps as a suggestion, you could add yourself in the restoration Professionals page...

Do you have to manually enter the addesses?  If so, could you just assign map viewing rights to just the people who are listed on the map? Kind of a "you have to give a little to get a little"?

I think this is what Jim is aiming for..

    Of course I want my store to be on the map,:happydrinkers: but at night I set a burglar alarm.

    Some members have shared information with us of some of their very valuable collectibles.

    I highly recommend keeping their exact locations confidential but the address of their local post office would keep this system afloat.


    On the subject of organized crime, does anyone remember the heist at ChicagoLand show several years ago? An overseas investment company was buying high quality machines and jukes at the Chicago show and loading them into a semi-trailer in the parking lot. On the final evening a semi truck backed up to the trailer in the middle of the night and disappeared. Has anyone heard if anything was ever recovered?

Hello,

Could have it so it displays whatever is in your profile.

The Google API that I'm using has only a few fields:
Category:               I only have one category: SMC Members
Marker Type:           Displays a Marker or polygon lines
Draggable Marker:     Allow the marker to be relocated...
Name:                    User Name
Street Address:    
City/Town:    
State/County:    
Country:    
Postal Code/ZIP:
Misc:                     This field can contain a brief description. If you view Jim Beschen, you'll see a little snippet, SMC Founder... blah, blah... This is where additional info may be entered... It's also supposed to display your profile thumbnail if one has been selected/uploaded, but this doesn't seem to be displaying mine...

I think this is what Jim is aiming for..

Exactly right! This feature is NOT intended for general use.
We all know who is involved here, but there may and will come a time when someone needs assistance and a quick way for us to lookup someone in the area is via this feature... I cannot remember who lives where; hell, I'm still getting names mixed up ! ! !
To summarize, we decide who's on the Map and then these people will have access to it!
As far as the address is concerned, I cannot seem to get around the street address at this time. I was hoping for only including City, State and Zip but it seems to need the street address...
Keep the dialog coming...
