First glance at the code, and eek it's complicated. Here are related files as I can tell gmaps.py gmap.js address.py Current flow as I understand it, 1.someone puts in the address macro with the address 2. on page render or map trigger, the address is geocoded using the google api 3. the Lat/Lon are passed to the gmaps.py 4. nearby locations are added the map is centered and the points are plotted Ok, now for the questions. 1. how does it know where the nearby points are, where are those being stored? (I see reference to a database of place) 2. Ok so instead of plotting nearby points, how about just plotting the whole layer and if they happen to be off screen oh well 3. Where in the directory structure should I put the OpenLayers install (Library of js files) - contrib? Some interesting issues I see coming up, 1. What if people want to place the point on a map instead of using the address macro 2. What if people want to move the location visually(especially for things without an address) I'll try to come up with a test map js that can be put in place of the google js stuff to start. So we can put in an OL map right in line with the current workflow and still have google as a layer in it. The next step after that, will be to make an overview map of all the points, which I imagine to be relatively easy since it's a single page with a "Select * from locations". Is there an example of a one off page like this, maybe the Recent Changes or Bookmarks? I'll probably answer 1/2 my questions by the time you get back to me, but how about forwarding this to a dev list for sycamore(does one exist?) Thanks, Alex
