I would be interested by the details.

I also am using google maps on my forum:

http://www.secret-japan.com/forum

Basically, the map on the portal is just a frame with a custom made page to display the map.
But I also give possibility to the members to post google maps directly in their messages, which is very interesting for a forum like mine which is to be used as a kind of "guide book".

Looks good, I'm interested in it as well. The idea that members can post the maps into the messages is great. Any chance we could get a mod out of you for it? <img>

I would have created a MOD for those maps, but I have two main problems:
- I don/t have enough knowledge on the ACP to modify the files to add some controls there;
- To be used in messages, the addition of maps requires the change of several files, including the removal of functions that strip html contents from posts (as the maps are published with html code). I do not know the exact implication on the safetz of those changes.

If any member is available to give me guidance, I would be more than delighted to create a MOD with that...
