Title: A Map of where Baby Cody Visits?
Post by: mouser on October 21, 2009, 08:59 PM
It just occured to me that the new project that DC member Veign just released (Plarker (http://www.plarker.com/)) would be perfect to keep track of all the places Baby Cody has visited, wouldn't it (see this thread for more Plarker (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=20126.0) discussion)?

I think it will be a great idea.  Let me know if there is anything I can do.  This will fit into a future feature where places can be connected into a trip or travel view (still in the planning phase right now)...

OK - map set up. I will add places in order as BabyCody visits people. Currently the only place marked is Mouser's abode while I wait for nudone to send me some details then I will add myself and Ampa.

Anyone heard from Ampa recently?

Here is the map:

http://plarker.com/map/BabyCody

Mouser if you can embed this somewhere the code is:

<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://plarker.com/embedded.php?map=BabyCody&zoom=1&type=m"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://plarker.com/map.php?map=BabyCody&zoom=1&type=m" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">Baby Cody's World Tour</a></small>

Update:

I have added 4 pins now - so all we need to know now is where is is now!

If you have a visit please PM me with a link to a google map with your location and a preferred photo and I will add your details - it would be useful if you could also send me your address, real name and the comment you want displayed.

If you are unhappy with the details I have added please tell me what you would like me to remove. Currently I am adding a location address, DC username & real name, a photo and a comment. The location address doesn't include the house number or name (just a location).

great stuff. good idea to add photos, etc.

is it worth adding a date of visit to the locations? i think it would be interesting to see when it all started, etc., etc.
Title: Re: A Map of where Baby Cody Visits?

OK I have updated each point to include a date (not all that accurate but in the correct sequence).

I have also set the 'additional info' link on each map point to the thread created by the user with Baby Cody photos.

Looks great!

Great work!

Is there any chance that the description of a visit can contain a link to the 'next' visit, so that you can easily follow the visit in chronological order?
Title: Re: A Map of where Baby Cody Visits?

There are plans in the pipeline to make it easier to view in sequence. Veign is working on it (or at least it has been added to his list) ;)

MAp updated to include BAby Cody's latest stop over with App103 ;)

where is baby cody currently?
Title: Re: A Map of where Baby Cody Visits?
Post by: Carol Haynes on August 12, 2010, 04:20 PM
Maybe we should get him a GPS tag ...

Last I heard he was off to Afghanistan but I don't think anyone has heard anything since.

Where is baby cody!!?

Good question!
Title: Re: A Map of where Baby Cody Visits?
Post by: nudone on October 08, 2010, 12:40 PM
erm. Lost?
Title: Re: A Map of where Baby Cody Visits?
Post by: Carol Haynes on October 08, 2010, 01:04 PM
I can't remember who was taking him to Afghanistan? App103 was going to pass him on from her visit - do you know where he went April and who with?

Hogan is getting fretful that his friend has gone missing (possibly behind enemy lines)!

I sent him to Josh, and he arrived safely. Josh has since returned to the US with baby Cody, and has been holding him for ransom or something.

Maybe he needs a DC style SWAT team to break him free!

Aren't we going around in circles? I'm pretty sure most of this has been said in another thread a few months ago.

Yes - but it would be nice if someone actually answered the question!!! A bit of 'noise' may jog a response.
Title: Re: A Map of where Baby Cody Visits?
Post by: y0himba on October 10, 2010, 08:37 AM
Oh I agree.  I would love to know where Cody is, my kids were anticipating the novelty of his visit.

I hope I can put a pin in Germany on the map soon. I just asked Josh to send Baby Cody over. I want to show him the Berliner Underground and some of the hacker scene here :)

Hmmm - was just going to try to add a few map updates for Baby Cody - but Plarker doesn't seem to available at the moment.

It has been down for some time.

Any one know what is going on with Plarker?
Title: Re: A Map of where Baby Cody Visits?
Post by: mouser on December 22, 2012, 10:22 PM
Chris (creator of Plarker) focused all his efforts on his OpenMenu enterprise and I think he discontinued Plarker.
But I could be wrong..
Title: Re: A Map of where Baby Cody Visits?

Plarker website says

Plarker is currently being developed. We hope to have things online very soon.

but it seems to have said that for a long time.

Maybe it is time to put up a new page for Baby Cody's travels.

Could I have some user webspace to do it? (I can get something set up within about 20 minutes if I can use Joomla so I need PHP and MySQL).

I'm starting to get cranky in my old age and worrying about proliferation of script installations in terms of long term maintenance.
I'd love to see another map of Baby Cody's travels -- but isn't there some external service we can use for this -- or maybe just a map image that could be posted to the forum and updated occasionally?
Title: Re: A Map of where Baby Cody Visits?
Post by: Carol Haynes on December 23, 2012, 09:21 AM
It's up to you - I don't mind maintaining it. Could have a little subsite with Baby Cody's blog and hosts posting their visit diary/photos/adventures - sure Nudone would help with the graphics! (Haven't asked him yet).
