Hello, In our site, we need to provide the user with a way to post a google map in his/her answer to show a place location.. did somebody do that before? if not who is interested? |

I haven't done this specifically, but I did create a filter that replaces certain text in an answer with a hyperlink. You could probably use the same approach to detect a google maps address (that the user posts in the answer) and just replace it with the html needed to display the equivalent map: http://meta.osqa.net/questions/6735/how-can-i-create-custom-filters my problem is the address, addresses are not supported where we are not like US or Europe.. what I need is a pop-up or fancybox that shows to the user a google map with ability to create a marker then feed the output of such data, lets say the Lng and Lat of the position, to the markdown editor as a tag.. then present such tag as a separate google map later when rendering the page.. I will work on it, but would like to know if somebody did it before or not..
