Questions before Purchase
Posted: 11 Oct 07 9:55 AM
I am very interested in the info map module, but first before I buy I need to know a couple of things.

1) the wideview of the map of, say the US, you would be able to use it to keep track of the number and what colleges and institutes you sold software to, by using the address correct? and is there any limitation to the numbe of?

2) Is there a way to also keep track of the emails of said institutes? If so then could you then easily pull the emails out for a mailing list or excel spreadsheet?

Hi, thanks for you interest in InfoMap module.

I'm not very sure I completely understand you first question but let me try to explain how it works: the InfoMap allows you to create many levels of maps. In all maps but the final ones you define "active areas" that link to other maps. In the final maps what you do is entering "active points" that link to information.

That information can be a link to a file, a link to a page, to a different site, ... or can be an "information data item". The module provides a couple fields for entering information (you can see them on the DNN World Map sample). Please note that this is not a GIS module, in the same way as GoogleMaps is. Here you dont' have any knowledge of what and address is: you just deal with pictures and points. So you can enter as many pictures (maps) and points (data items) as you need.

Regarding the email, if you use the data items provided by the module your data will be stored on a table name IMData where you'll be able to track the email field is you need so.

I hope this answers your questions.

Not directly from within the module since this module is not for sending mail. But you could export the data easily and create the mailing list for yourself using another tool. The emails can be extracted by just doing a simple query like

select email from vmasanas_imdata
