Hi there,

I set up a MAP module hoping to be able to visually show the different content users are accessing from different countries. Current module settings as follows:
Content provider: com_zoo
Content Criteria: Article Views
Selector: All category/author/articles (equiv. to NO FILTER)
Unique visitors: no
What to paint: Countries
Display region: World

Currently the map is recording total hits of zoo articles from different locations correctly (see screen shot), but I can't see anyway of being able to tell which specific articles these are? I thought perhaps if you clicked on the country you'd be able to access more information.. but this doesn't seem to be the case. Am I missing something or is this not possible?

Thanks very much in advance!

    no.. the map is for "totals" only, there would be no way to tell which articles are readon from where...

    Hi Germinal,

    Thanks for confirming. I presume you mean it's not a function currently offered in the module rather than assuming it's not physically possible since it must be (if you export the activity log you can identify which articles are being read and from which location). Is this a feature you would consider adding in at some point?

    Best wishes, Sophie

    at the moment we are not considering it, but we can think about it.

    I don't see it as "easy" as you make it sound ;) I mean, you can select ONE single article and display where it is being viewed from, yes.
    but how will you display this info for MULTIPLE articles at the same time? I don't see how..!

    Hi Germinal,

    I think perhaps we're getting our wires crossed :).

    What I mean is that it would be great if it were possible to click on a particular area (country for example, assuming a world map) and see a list of articles the 'total hits' displayed represents. As I understand it, the module must have this data to hand, since it's summing it to give the 'total hits' number. Of course, this information is also available in the Activity Log if you filter by a particular country... but there's no way I have show that data on the front end of our website :(.

    Does this make sense?

    Thank you, Sophie

    ok, I understand.
    yes, it makes sense I guess, but at the moment that's not possible on the module.. (and it would be a bit difficult to achieve, although it's true that the information exists, but it would need to be gathered from the DB with some new AJAX functions..)
