[support] Building website with POI (Points of Interests)

[Idan Arbel]

You can use arguments, to filter the view according to variables sent via
the URL.

 

Take a look here:

 

http://drupal.org/node/611152

 

you probably need to add the field you want to filter by as the argument.

In View, as I said, in Filters I selected "Location: City = Chicago"
If I want to show Block with other city nodes I have to create new View for
City=Joliet, City=St. Louis, City=Oklahoma,... View for each City? Or I can
select that City=<selected_city> from Path. Like, if
http://www.Route66.com/Flagstaff, then "City=Flagstaff". Or something?

The block shows only 


POI Chicago


City: Chicago 

City: Chicago 

 <http://drupal.org> 


("POI Chicago" is Title, twice City: Chicago because there are only two
nodes)

Nothing else? Where I manage what supposed to be shown?












Hi,
I'm building a website about Route 66, for my own needs. Probably will 
not go public.

I made page (as in content type) for each State (8) Route 66 going 
through. These pages will probably not have any content. More for Menu 
purpose only.
Similar, I plan to make a page (content type) for each city. Menu links 
of these pages are actually sub-primary menu links:

Primary menu:
* Illinois
    > Chicago
    > Cicero
    > Joliet
    > ...
* Missouri
    > St. Louis
    > Springfield
    > ...

City pages will probably not have any content either.

Now comes the pain: I have to start building POI (Points Of Interests). 
POI has to have Name, Address, City, State, Description. Geo Coordinates 
(Longitude & Latitude) - if known. I was thinking to create a content 
type for each city and that way "group" POIs, but something's tellig me 
it's not good idea.
I know it's possible to create web form (I know there is module for 
webform) to enter POI but never used it and I'm not quite sure how can I 
group these entries by city?

Also, I have to be able create something like Photo album about each POI 
to add any picture I found interesting about this POI (download fro 
Internet and upload to my Drupal site) and comment the picture. I need 
ability to "update" POI with new information (text) but it could be as  
a Comment on POI.

I'm new in Drupal and I need help what directions I have to take? Which 
modules I need to use here...
Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Afan
