TOPIC: Pre sales questions Hotspots

Hi ! Can I use this to make anything like Waze. I wish to create a website with Jomsocial for a local community. I wish that members can add hotspot from font-end and the others like it (to confirm) or can notify it as fake, or as finished. Is an alert sent to members when a new hotspot is added ? Is it possible to determine a limit of displaying on the map ?
Is it compatible with the app iJoomer for phone and tablets ?

Thanks a lot

Hey there,
I would advise you to have a look at our demo site and on the left you have an option to launch a live demo instance. It will give you access to the backend of the component.

You are able to submit locations from the frontend as seen here: demo.compojoom.com/hotspots/submit-a-location
You can notify administrators per email about new hotspots, but you cannot have like a member moderation. This needs to be custom build. If you need this you can request a quote here: compojoom.com/services/joomla-development

If you look on our demo page you'll see that in the menu we load 20 hotspots (you can set it to 100). Other hotspots are loaded as tiles (the small markers). The information about those is cached in images, in order to speed the map. Then when you hover your mouse over an area in the background we load the information about the locations currently on that tile. You can read about all this in our docs (scalling for large databases)

It is the first time that I hear about iJoomer, but version 4.1 will work just fine on a mobile phone, so there won't be a need for an app. (it already works fine on ipad)

Thanks a lot Daniel, sorry for the late reply.
It's very interesting !
But I've an other question : is it possible to share the new hotspots on a Facebook group if the user is also member of this group ?

If I understand, admin cannot moderates new entry ? If it's a bad entry, is it possible for him to delete it ?

Thanks for your work !!

demo.compojoom.com/hotspots/demo-user-lo...77-10441-lorem-ipsum - there is a share and tweet button under the map. This is available for all hotspots. Or do you mean a "share on facebook checkbox" during hotspot submission?

Admins can moderate new entries. You can set that the status of new hotspots is unpublished, admins get an email that a new hotspot was submitted. Then the login into the backend and approve the hotspot.

Thanks for your reply ! Yes, I wish to have a "share on my facebook group checkbox" during hotspots submission if it is possible.

For moderation, I just need to be notified when a new hotspots is added and to be able to delete it if it's not in accord with the Chart. Is it possible ?

I'm sorry, I'm French and I don't understand very well what is the plugin "Jomsocial user points on hotspot submission"

Best regards,

The moderation already works as you want.

About the checkbox "share on my facebook group" - we don't have this. Your are the first one mentioning something like this. I'll put it on the todo list, but if you need this fast, then we'll have to do it as custom development: compojoom.com/services/joomla-development

ok thanks.
For the question about "Jomsocial user points on hotspot submission" : does this means that user can earn points by adding hotspot ? Are these points can be comptaible with an other component for win gifts ?

Yes I can ask a quote for the sharing and also for the button ton like and unlike the hotspot. I need to have an idea about that to make a quote for the final customer.

Thanks !

Hey there.
We are talking about jomsocial user points. This is something that Jomsocial supports. I don't they are compatible with other componetns for gifts - you'll have to ask jomsocial about this.

About the quote. I'll have a look.
