However, we will be approving projects and making payment verifications two time during the day; once early-morning and once in the early evening. We will resume our normal business hours on Tuesday, September 7th and wish everyone who celebrates it a happy Labor Day.

Brief Summary:
  • vWorker.com reminder: You MAY NOT post the final solution for this (and any) project before your bid is accepted and funds are fully escrowed. Anyone who does may have their account permanently suspended. However, you CAN post:
    • On programming projects: A prototype or functional demo...as long as source code is not provided.
    • On graphics projects: A watermarked and low-resolution version of the work.
There is already a plugin that allows doing what I want:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-maps/

I want to make it fully Compatible with the latest versions of Buddypress and Wordpress.

I found two major problems with it:

1. In the settings panel of the plug-in, while trying to modify the settings you can not save them all at once, you have to go one section by one. (You can see the red message on top that warns about this). I want that problem fixed.

2. While Adding Group Markers, there is no possible way to add them, it gets looped and its not possible to add another one.

I also could not install it in an install that i have on a bluehost server, it throws something like php error in buddypress-maps.php line 579 or something like that. But I could install it in my local server. I would like that problem solved too.

The modifications to this plugin are the Following:
In the group markers section I want to add some fields so the group admin can add descriptions such as How to get there, Important information about the place, etc. So I want to add the possibility to define a group of fields that are going to be displayed in the plugin settings admin panel, so the group admin fills them and they are publicly available to the whole network.


Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the employer was interviewed about the requirements for this project. Below are their answers. Untitled Page
Project Type: What kind of work do you need done?
Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites)
Project Parts: What do you want the worker to do on this project?
Programming: The worker will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it).
User installation: The installer will move the software from the place it was created (which is called the development or QC environment) to where you will use it (which is called the production environment). The installer then tests the software to make sure that the installation was done properly and completely.
Program Type: What kind of software should the worker create (and/or install)?
  • A desktop or server program: This software runs on a user's own PC/workstation, or on a server.
  • Other:Buddypress Plugin Fix
Desktop / server program info
Size of application:
Operating system(s) What operating systems(s) do you want your application to work on?
I don't know (and need the worker's assistance to suggest it).
Installation Program: Does the worker need to create an installation program?
Other. Details:
Legal: 1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future).
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
2a) If there are any server-side deliverables (intended to only exist in one place in the Employer's environment) then they must be installed by the Worker in ready-to-run condition (unless specified elsewhere by the Employer).
2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the employer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this project (unless specified elsewhere by the Employer).
3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Employer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the employer on the site per the worker's Worker Legal Agreement.
Other Requirements:
  • All deliverables must be uploaded to vWorker.com before the deadline(s) for this project...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this project...but instead alert vWorker.com of an un-arbitratable, illegal project.
  • Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the employer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the employer and worker agreements. vWorker.com monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
