Displaying an internal map externally?

Felicia Willems By 
July 29, 2011

Hi NB folks!

I'd like to find out if it is possible for me to display a map from people who have been tagged with a certain tag externally on the site.

For example: http://snap.nationbuilder.com/admin/signups/map?geocode_accuracy=5&tag_id=11

This map has 3 people who are tagged with "Shared Story" and when you click on the bubble, you see their profile. Can I get this map, with the tag selected, to display publicly?

Thanks!

This is not a feature we currently are developing, but Veracity Media has released a nice tool for public endorsement maps. You can read about it here: http://nationbuilder.com/veracity_media_visual_endorsement_map

    This is a feature we really need for our supporters to connect with each other on a grassroots level. It would also be nice to have a specific question on their profile that makes clear if they check the box members of the site can view their personal address information. Ideally it would be nice for them to give varying degrees of their address so if some people are sensitive about posting, the community at least has a general idea where people are located for organizing something like a coffee get- together or something of the sort.

    Ron, if you list your chapter meetings as events, NationBuilder will generate a public map of the locations.

    I just had a requirement for this too – in our case, we want to show a map of Los Angeles County with locations of chapter meetings – so the map would be fairly static and certainly under 100 locations to put a pin in.

    Brad- Yes, you can embed Google Maps into a regular basic page. You should use the “template” tab to edit the code directly, and you can get the embed code straight from Google Maps.

    And you’re free to use JavaScript to manipulate the maps. jQuery is already loaded on all the pages, so you can use that without having to upload the scripts.

    Maybe a slight diversion here but I’d like to confirm that we are able to use Google Maps integration and API to create map pages on basic html templates or would you recommend a different strategy? It would be for a public map that our nation members could opt into having their profile locations/info shown on the public map. for our nation’s purposes this is a pretty critical feature for our member engagement strategies.

    The privacy issue is what makes this really complicated.

    One thing you may not have thought about is that you can screenshot the map image in the control panel and publish that on a page.

    The internal maps are really nice – we look forward to being able to share them with the public.

    There are some privacy issues that yall are probably already aware of. Need to make sure that only public profile info is shared on the public map under consideration.
