Some interesting products here!

Okay, I have just been browsing for some minutes, and just some suggestions right away:

1) A searching/viewing results by map (like the one for the clubs) is a very very powerful tool ("image tells more than thounsands words"). But the showcase product can do so much more than the clubs. Why not take the best from the two and combine?. You should seriously considering this.
A) Further the admin should be able to choose in admin panel which fields this feature should goes for (and which colour each marker/pointer should have)
B) the user should have the choice whether to see the results on a map or just text
C) May be be able to select more fields on the same map - with different markers/pointers (colours)

2) I see that each time you click on a result - it opens in a new window. May be there is a good reason for this - but it fast becomes a little annoying. May be think of another solution than the present...

Thanks for your feedback. Obviously we don't have map support in ShowCase at this time. That said there are several ways that this can be supported. The first would be to configure two decimal attribute types for a showcase type. These fields would represent a latitude and longitude for a given location. The problem with this is that the user entering the data would need to know these values to display a point on a map.

The second would be to provide several fields to capture an address and from that derive a lat/lon from that information.

However this information is captured it needs to be rendered. We have the ability, via a consulting engagement, to create custom showcase type displays. Using this method we could take either the lat/lon or address information and display the information on a map that is part of a showcase display.

As for the multiple windows that is currently by intent. Ideally you would have a "index" page that displays a list of showcases. That said the issue of having multiple showcase types on a given site clouds the point of what would be displayed if you returned to a centralized "index" for showcases. To date we've not collected enough feedback from customers of how they would really like this change and to gracefully handle multiple showcase types on a site. As we gain that information the product I fully expect that you will see the product evolve and improve.

Thanks again for the feedback!

Best regards,

Mark
