Thanx Oshyan.

When you're ready, I'm ready :-)

When you get some time I really want to talk as it's come along way since we last chatted.

Open Menu is brand new.  It will take time to get coverage around the world.  Have to stay focused and right now that is from the US outward.

Open Menu will be on the upcoming talk radio show called Hospitality 101.  With about 4000 listeners in the restaurant and hospitality business this is a big step in Open Menu gaining recognition.

Looking forward to the interview.  Should be fun...

Not sure what you mean 'there are no restaurants in your country'.   

Sorry, but I really don't know what you mean...

Google has made embedding maps easy, and if you use their API, extremely powerful.  Any other mapping questions feel free to give me a shout.  I've done lots of work with the Google Map API for my Plarker project.

The easiest way to add a map to your website is:
1) Goto Google Maps
2) Search for the location you want to map
3) Click the Link icon on the far right
4) Click the 'Customize and preview embedded map' link
5) Tweak the map and copy the code into your website

This can be done with any location or business recognized by Google Maps.

What's new with Open Menu:
1) OpenMenu.com now has a Restaurant Search.  You can locate restaurants contained within the Open Menu Database.  This gives you a peek of what the database holds.
2) Menu Embedding.  You can embed a menu from Open Menu into your website.  You choose the menu size, what data source will be used, if the menu display one column or two and Open Menu gives you the code
3) Working on getting into the corporate world.  Contacting corporations who hold large quantities of restaurants.

I'm also looking for any professional level developer interested in creating a project powered by Open Menu.  Anyone interested.  I want to get independent developers pushing out projects which can be showcased by Open Menu.

Open Menu continues to move forward.

(comments and feedback always welcomed)

Developer's Corner / Re: How to get rejected from the App Store
« on: June 04, 2010, 09:56 AM »
This one reason I haven't forked out the dough to get an iPhone App created.  If Apple released a way for Windows users to create apps then I would do it myself and only waste time.  I just cant afford to waste money right now.

For now I'll live with the website I built as a touch version:
iPhone-home.jpg

Bothers me so much that, as a Windows user, I can't build an iPhone App (with hacks).

You should add a help icon near the RSS feed icon at the bottom of this forum.  I think many people will not realize they can tweak the feed.  I forgot how to change the limit and remember that DC had done something in the past for it.

No worries Oshyan.  I kinda figured you were busy.

When you get a chance drop me an email.

@chris - Can you send me the postal code so I can file it for review when I get some time.  Also, when you send it please send me how the locals refer to the location - what I should be looking for from the results from a Geocode.  Use PM if you don't want to make the information public.

Thanx.

The conversion from a postal code to a location is performed by Google.   There may be issues where the returned results go into neighborhoods and such.  This is something that will be refined over time.

The Open Menu Format can let you drill down to a suburb or neighborhood so the limitation is in how someone would use the results from the API (which is being developed so other developers can create tools like Open Menu Search).

Open Menu Search:
http://openmenu.com/search/

Check out what will be the first search engine for locating restaurants serving the food you're looking to eat.  This is still an extremely early release populated with about 30K restaurants and about 2.5 million menu items.

Check it out and let me know what you think.  Feedback always welcomed.

Developer's Corner / Re: Geographical Heat Map
« on: June 02, 2010, 01:49 PM »
Its free but you can't see the code that is happening behind the scenes.  So I don't know what the processing happening in the background is expecting and what's passed back.

I'm going to wait and see if he responds.  If not I'll try and dissect the code.

Those are the same ones I've come acroos.
HeatMapAPI looks great but costs a fortune and not possible for a high traffic website. 
gHeat is in Python - not something I've dealt with before and time is not on my side to learn.
http://imagine-it.or...google/geoiqmap.html - Doesn't work anymore and references HeatMapAPI
And the last references HeatMapAPI.

Hard to believe that HeatMapAPI is the only option, that no one else has done this before.

Developer's Corner / Geographical Heat Map
« on: June 02, 2010, 09:31 AM »
Anyone know of anything around that lets me create, and manage, a heat map of the world.  Its has to be an online solution that I can host locally on a web server - Google Map solution preferred.

The way I see it working is the map, or code, makes calls (Ajax) to the database to retrieve values for a square being viewed and displays a heat map overlay on the view.  Some initial settings determine values corresponding to colors.

Anyone know of anything around?

edited: Should note that this is for a PHP / MySQL project.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot Captor Splice Tool
« on: June 01, 2010, 01:51 PM »
Great little feature. 

Why don't you release that as a standalone application?  I would use it just for that.  Basically let me open an image, perform splices and then resave out.

Can you do me a favor and change the title on this page:

From:
OMF - Open Menu Format

To:
Open Menu

Want to keep the branding consistent.

Wait till you see Open Menu Search with the accompanying Open Menu Search Mobile (iPhone, Droid and Blackberry ready).

Open Menu Format is now Open Menu and is now back online.  I was able to purchase the OpenMenu.com domain which will become the main focal point of the brand.

Soon Open Menu Search will be online - within a couple of days.
