Sneaky Preview - FrImp World.

I am toying with a new community software (open source) from Vanilla, which in my humble opinion is very cool. I have not ‘tarted’ it up yet except for one additional module I installed from the vanilla community.

The page is called FRIMP WORLD.

On the Frimp World page you will see a map of Europe, with a marker I have added. You will have to register as a member of the community first but it is not an instant membership. Another member has to approve your membership first, and since I am the only current member, you will have to wait until I next log in. Once you are a member you can start new discussions, add categories, add a location marker to the map of whatever you like…

In fact add as many location markers as you like. You simply click ‘add location’, use the map controls to pan and zoom until you have the place/spot you are looking for. When you click on that spot, the marker appears. You then fill in the details on the form and submit. Easy.

Where are we? Where are you?

Despite the default styling of the vanilla message system, I would appreciate feedback on if I should make this live or not. By live, I mean spend the time customising layout and adding to the main menu bar. It may overlap somewhat with the functionality of this blog, but this blog is just a blog. Vanilla is a community of equals!

I look forward to your comments.
