I'm thinking it would be much like the bits used to link the vidoes and articles to the profile but I am unsure how to construct the bit!

Should be similar. Something like this:
Postbit:

HTML Code

<a href="link_to_usermap_forum&amp;filterxt_uid={$post['uid']}">My Location</a>

---

Profile:

HTML Code

<a href="link_to_usermap_forum&amp;filterxt_uid={$memprofile['uid']}">My Location</a>

---

I used this for the postbit:

Code:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?fid=85&amp;filterxt_uid={$memprofile['uid']}">{$post['fid1']}</a>

---

Placed in postbit_author_user, But it links to the entire map...

Let me try yours...

This worked for me...

Code:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?fid=85&amp;filterxt_uid={$post['uid']}">{$post['fid1']}</a>

Also, I edited my other post you may have not seen...
Would it be possible to add a small map tot he profile page with the member's marker?  Or is that too much coding involved?

Because we can't use $memprofile in postbit.

For displaying the small map, maybe we can use the Google Static Maps

[RocketFoot]

I  think that would be cool!  My IPB forum has a small map that displays in the user's profile page.  Clicking the marker takes you to the discussion page.

That would be a little more custom than just a link!

Unfortunately, not to the showthread, only to the forumdisplay (uid filtered):

That would still be ok...looks perfect!

You need Template Conditionals or PHP In Template plugin for that. And you need a custom profile field to hold the user's address.

The basic example image URL (using location custom profile field - fid1):

HTML Code

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?zoom=14&amp;size=450x200&amp;center=<func urlencode>{$userfields['fid1']}</func>&amp;markers=<func urlencode>{$userfields['fid1']}</func>&amp;sensor=false

Modify it as your needs.

Not sure I follow...

Should I add the code above to a custom profile field?

[RateU]

It's the statics image URL. You need to put it inside the member_profile template (wrap it with the img tag). Example:

HTML Code

<img src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?zoom=14&amp;size=450x200&amp;center=<func urlencode>{$userfields['fid1']}</func>&amp;markers=<func urlencode>{$userfields['fid1']}</func>&amp;sensor=false" alt="" />

---

Your users need to put their address into the custom profile field (in this example: Location custom profile field).

Oh ok...I thought it would automatically link from this mod.  I don't want to have to make them add even more info...LOL
