Phoca Forum

Sometimes I want to make notes so that I know what the marker is, however, I only want to display limited info to the public.
Example: I have an event where you register and it asks for your address (say for a community yardsale). I want to marker to display over the houses, but not show the full address (just the street name).

I can accomplish this by making the marker name the street name, and grabbing the lat/long using the actual address, however, if I have multiple addresses on the same street, it starts becoming difficult to remember who was who. It would be nice if I could have a field that would show in the backend (and in the list of markers) where I could place identifying info that only I (the admin) sees).

So the Markers page would show:
Title => Note => Published => Map => Language => ID

In the Marker General Options there would be a field called Private Note that would accept text that is visible to ONLY the admin backend.

Hi, maybe for this purpose some custom field plugin should be done but, yes, this is not so easy

I don't think it needs to be that complicated. In reading through the code should be this simple:

• Add a column added to the SQL database that would hold the new data field 'text'

• Add language added to en-GB.com_phocamaps.ini & sys

• Add the field to the phocamapsmarker.xml to show the new field in the markers form

• Add the new field to the AdminView PHP (you don't even have to have it sort - although you could to see those without this field)

The field would serve as nothing more than a note to the admin (has no actual function for the end user).

This is highly simplified, but really, I could go in and modify this (but it would be nice if it was done officially).
