I'm working on a redesign project for Whatcom County Library System. We are a few days away from the Prototype review. Yahoooo!!!

Click here to see the profile of this user 		Re:Announcing Our Library's New Website! - 2008/07/18 15:46 Yes, it's pretty cool isn't it? It's not a component. I wrote some custom code using Google Maps API. It's pretty easy to write, and maybe I could even turn it into a full fledged module, but I'm not really sure how to do that. I started reading the Joomla module building documentation and it just kinda confused me.

If you wanna write something similiar, I can point you to some useful sources. Let me know.

Anyway, if you don't use the Jumi module yet, you should check it out. It allows you to put php code inside your pages, so you can basically do anything you want. That's how I did the branch locator.

I guess, all told, it took me about a year. Although a lot of that time was planning and meetings with library staff etc.

Thanks for the backlink!
