Is there anyway to integrate GeoNames webservices and data into a CB/Joomla installation like Drupal is doing?
I am thinking of using Geonames or MaxMind free city db for setting up a correct location for user db.
www.geonames.org/
www.maxmind.com/app/geolitecity
Drupal projects about Geonames
geonames.edesign.no/
drupal.org/project/geonames
Supported GeoNames Services
* GeoNames Fulltext Search (search)
* Reverse Geocoding
o Country Subdivision (countrysubdivision)
o Find nearby (findnearby)
o Find nearby Place Name (nearbyplace)
o Find nearby Postal Codes (nearbypostalcodes)
o Find nearby Wikipedia Entries (nearbywikipedia)
* Place Hierarchy
o Neighbours (neighbours)
o Siblings (siblings)
o Hierarchy (hierarchy)
o Children (children)
* Postal Code Country Info (postalcodecountryinfo)
* Postal Code Search (postalcodesearch)
* Country Code (reverse geocoding) (countrycode)
* Country Info (Bounding Box, Capital, Area in square km, Population) (countryinfo)
* Timezone (timezone)
* Wikipedia Articles from Bounding Box (wikipediabbox)
* Wikipedia Fulltext Search (wikipediasearch)
This would be very powerful for CB reg process and very useful or what you think?
This is a step forward to doing this but you cant make it work on a city level....
