Ebird Near is a module that allows access to information regarding where birds have been seen nearby. A Drupal site with this module (Ebird Near) , CCK, and the Location module enabled can use a node's location coordinates in an Ajax request to the Ebird API and subsequently retrieve and display a table of locations that are near, bird species at the locations, and a date of observation.
Users of Ebird Near must conform to the terms set forth by Cornell University in the Ebird API.
Notes:
Currently the way this works, only location cck fields that have been actively added to the node will work. In fact I had to disable locations by setting the min and max number of locations to 0 before getting this to work on my live site. I only allowed location name and the coordinate chooser (to keep it simple). The coordinate chooser is a must and latitude & longitude should be entered in decimal degrees.
-- Drupal Camps: it's ready! Contact me if you want any help setting it up, happy to volunteer if it isn't obvious or you hit a snag --
This rideshare module is intended for events such as conferences where people are already creating accounts to register for the event, before they go to the event. Perfect for Drupal camps and Conference Organizing Distribution [COD] sites: first used at BADcamp.
It creates a content type for rideshare posts, putting the entry form in a block that automatically loads previous posts. A view allows you to see others' rideshare posts in either a chart or map form. The chart and map can be sorted based on your rideshare (ex: show me everyone leaving within 2 hours of when I'm leaving.)
Just a little tuning around gmap and the google map's API needs to be sorted out before this module can be used out-of-the-box. I'd be happy to help someone set this up using another map solution, let me know what you use, it's just a matter of adjusting the views. See http://drupal.org/node/1459606
