Hi All,
I've developing some modules which use location based data linking together, users, photos, videos etc. Locations can be added by users and each location has a page which displays the relevant locations data, weather, photos, videos etc.
I'm already posting user actions related to some things to user journals (new photos etc) but I'd like to display a journal for each location with all relevant updates, would integrating this into social groups be a good way to go? e.g. each time a location is added, make my module create a group and link to two together...
This seems like the logical way to go until I think about things like events (next on my todo list) which maybe related to a location. Now an event would seem like a logical thing to have as a social group, but then journal items can't be related to two group's can they...
I suppose what would be great is a way of adding some sort of key attributes to the journal module items to extend beyond the real of just users and groups enabling module developers to utilise the journal module in other ways. e.g. when creating a journal item via code add key(s) to the item. Then for journal displays add a settings option to pull items out based upon related key(s).
Anyway... food for thought, any ideas on ways to go here would be more than welcome.
