Hi, I have extended the Maps module with some simple classes that let you put simple maps on a page without the need to have the forum module installed. I want to submit the classes for use by the wider silverstripe community but am not sure how to do this. Need point of contact.
Cheers,
Dan

I was going to the do the same to use GMaps without the forum. I would love to try out your code and provide some feedback on it. Maybe you can attach it to this thread? Thanks!

These class provide a page type that doesn't require the forum to work. they extend the initial body of work without changing existing code.
enjoy :)

it's having trouble with the Point class? not sure how to resolve the issue.

thanks a lot foryour effort in putting this out there, really hope it's a simple fault at my end..
