Hi Mikel

Thanks for your reply (and Bruce)

Well I have finaly bit the bullet and started to learn how to program 
these silly computers.  I have writtern a PHP script that outputs the 
geocoded rss XML data based on the URL.  (this programming this is not as 
hard as I thought).  Well I got that bit done, it loads the XML data well 
into IE.  I was running out of time by this stage I tried to call it 
through worldkit, and it displayed the map, but no dot  :(

I ran out of time, I think I will get there over the weekend though.  When 
I get it to work, I will post the code here (there where a couple of 
things that got me with this, you need to pass an XML header, and a expiry 
date in the past for this to work in IE).  If I am still stuck next week I 
will give you a yell.

Thanks again

Matt  :)

Hi Matt

Yes, I see it may be overkill to build a seperate RSS feed for every page. 

My first thought was that you could use javascript to pass in a bit of 
GeoRSS to worldKit, with the JRSSComm variable 
http://worldkit.org/doc/javascript.php#to .. However, since it's not 
possible to know when worldKit has completed loading and can respond to 
JRSSComm , this won't necessarily work. What worldKit should do is trigger 
a javascript event when it's completed loading .. but that would take a 
little coding.

I think your idea of using a small php script is the most simple without 
doing any coding in worldKit .. a bit convoluted but simple. Set dataurl 
to "georss.php?lat=#&long=#". The php code would be pretty simple, just 
echoing those two arguments within a RSS block.

HI Mikel

Thanks for you reply.

My last e-mail was not very clear - sorry about that.

I was wanting to have a different location map for each page of my 
website.  A map of the world, with one single dot marking the location of 
the current article (campsite, bushwalk, national park etc)  there will be 
many hundreds of these pages. 

I note that you can call worldkit with a URL to get data from a query, "
dataurl=".  I was wanting a similar function but to be able to enter the 
data directly.  eg "geodata=" 

So I could do something like this.

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0 
" WIDTH="800" HEIGHT="400" id="worldkit">
<param NAME=movie VALUE="worldkit.swf?geodata=lat-32.01501&long100.5220">
<param NAME=quality VALUE="high"> 
<param NAME=bgcolor VALUE="#000000">

<embed src="worldkit.swf?geodata=lat-32.01501&long100.5220" quality="high" 
bgcolor="#000000" WIDTH="800" HEIGHT="400" NAME="worldkit" ALIGN="" 
TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE=" 
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed>
</object>

I guess one one to do this is for me to learn a bit of PHP and create a 
PHP file that creates a xml file when I pass a similar URL to it.  but I 
guess I am been lazy  :)

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your compliments. The bushwalking website sounds cool. 

You should only have to create one RSS feed for the entire map, rather 
than one for each location.

I'm not sure if that's your question or not. Please explain more if this 
isn't what you're after. 

Cheers
Mikel

Subject: [worldKit-dev] Location dot without rss.xml

Hi

I love worldkit - I have been playing with it for the last few days and I 
am very impressed - good work.

I am building a bushwalking website (trail notes, location of campsite and 
weather information etc) and this tool will be very handy.

One thing I was hopeing to do was to have a picture of the world with a 
dot on it for each article, to give it's location.  I was hopeing to do 
this without having to create an xml document for each site.

Is it possible to call worldkit with a url containing the GEO:lat/geo:long 
and title info.  I am not a programmer but can hack my way around a bit of 
PHP code.

Does anyone have an example or know how to do this??

Thanks 

Matt  :)
