Does anyone know of any decent examples of using the royalty free yahoo maps functionality?
I can find lots of examples on google but in order to use google within an intranet they insist on your paying approximately £7k a year.
Any links greatly appreciated, ideally i'm thinking JQUERY plugin .js script and a sample ASP.NET page.
I'd like to display placeholders based on long and lat data in our database, on mouse-over the placeholders (or pins) i'd display additional information from the database, images, links etc
many thanks in advance

I'm trying to figure out how to take live data from one site and have it displayed on my site. I would like to do so, where the data updates as it updates on the original site. My theme is sports gaming and my site is structured like ESPN. I would like to grab all the team standings and players stats.
Sorry if I am unclear.
So basically you want to scrape a website and display it in yours, possibly in a better way.
So I would recommend to use KIMONO, Its an web scraping service, which will provide you with the api to get the data in a proper Model.
Check it out, IT should get your job done.
If not you can create your own scraper in PHP (PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser) or Javascript, there are libraries in Javascript also.
Hope it helps!
Happy Coding !!!
I'm working on have a property listing asp.NET website and the current search function is pretty crappy. I want to know if I can use the Google Custom Search API to extract the results but still present them in the same way there are now (comprehensive listing items with pricing, images, etc. Here's the current look: http://temporadaplus.com/Aluguel-Por-Temporada.aspx?pais=Brasil ). Each listing item is created via a .NET itemtype. SO basically all I need is to know how to go about using Google's much better results without altering anything visually.
I came across this question here but I am not sure its exactly what I;m looking for. Any ideas or comments are appreciated.
We are creating a website for motorbike tours and would like our visitors to be able to enter a start and end location and have this update an embedded Google map on our own website, basically highlighting the best route. We'd like it to work exactly as the "Directions" feature on Google Maps works.
Is this possible? If so, how best to acheive this?
Also, we'd like to restrict the businesses and places of interest that appear on the map as some of them simply won't be relevant to our motorcycle audience. Is it possible to filter out businesses and places of interest and only display what we would like to display?
Really appreciate any advice that could be offered. Thank you.

Yes you can there is already a post with a HTML example. There are limitations on how many requests can be performed in 1 day for free usage. Check the licensing information on the google site.
google maps plot route between two points
Surely you can.
Take a look here and here (the first is for javascript functionality, the second for server-side functionality through web services).
With these API you can show map, show pinned point on that and, using the direction API, you can also calculate the best route among other things.
About the businesses and places you want to show, you can use the places API. though I never used this one, so I can only suggest to have a look at the documetation.
I'm trying to come up with some easy methods to share data between two Drupal websites. Here's my situation: Two websites both want a Top X Music listing with images, audio and data. One website is already creating and updating this list, and since they both use the same list the other website wants to straight up "steal" the first list, content, style and all. They want to take advantage of the work done to create the list on the other website. Their websites are structurally similar, and we control both sites. Audio is made playable using SWF tools.
Domain isn't really an appropriate solution here as the two sites share nothing besides the Top X Music list. I am able to create a view on the original site to feed the data in any format I want.
Some solutions I've been considering are:
Feed the data from one site to the other, hard link back to the other
site for audio/images.
iFrame the data on the site that is "stealing"
the list. (easy but seems too crude!)
jQuery AJAX load the data on the "stealing" site.
Basically I'm looking for suggestions of how you might handle this if they were your Drupal websites. I am familiar with Feeds, but would need to write a parser specifically for this feed, which seems like overkill for something so simple. Thanks! :)
You don't mention what version of Drupal you're using on the two sites. Assuming it's Drupal 6, you may want to check out the Web Widgets module and/or the Embed widgets module.
If you're just after a list of content from SiteA you could add a display to a given view and get RSS output. The ViewsRSS module gives you more control over what is returned.
If you're looking for more of a widget approach then I'd start looking at the Web widgets or Embed widgets modules. They're ok for basic functionality, but if you're looking to want more functionality I'd consider either embedding the content in an iframe (quick and dirty) or reviewing the services module(s) - although this may be overkill for your needs.
HTH.
I was wonder if anyone can help me with this. I've been looking everywhere for this information, but I want to make a web application using dascode rss. I know that you can't link external sources. Does anyone know a way I can get around it. From what I understand a little php can get around this, but I'm unsure where to look.
OK, first thing no PHP. Dashcode is limited to HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Although having said that there are a whole range of system calls that cna be made using the functionality provided by various parts of the x-cde system.
Second yes you can link to external sources such as other web sites, api on say Twitter, google etc. RSS feeds and so on, not sure where you got the idea to the contrary.
If you want to learn how to do a Dashcode RSS then open up Dashcode, start a new project, either web based or Dsashboard based and choose the RSS project. This will give you an out of the box template to add you own information and then see how it works. Then customise it.
In the above i am assuming Snow Leopard and the latest Dashcode/X-code but it will still gove you most of what you want on earlier version.
