Thanks for your observations. I'll make a panorama author link more visible.
Permalinks are a problem, I agree. I would, for example, like to have links like panoye.com/country/city/panorama-name.html but the problem is with google maps. When you signup for your gmap key - you have ONE key for ONE directory on the web server (for example country/city/). It means that I should have (and use) houndreds of gmap API keys :(
Thank you again for your comment!
You can just get the API key for your domain name, http://panoye.com/, and it will work for all directories in that domain.
I tried it once when starting with gmaps API. But, I probably did something wrong then.
Thank you (both) for pointing out that I was wrong. I'll look at the javascript API again and see what can be done.
That really only applies to the file/script accessing the map. If you're using .hosts files and mod_rewrite, you can just interpret /country/city/panorama-name as parameters and call the maps API from a central script located in the root.
Now some observations:
- It's hard to tell who posted a panorama - the only information about the user is their image
- Is each person's rating posted as a comment? This could be problematic if hundreds of people end up rating a panorama
- I'm not too sure your permalink structure is good for the long run (using folders, categorization will make it easier for search traffic to find more content)
These are just my observations, please take them lightly. Like I said, the site is nice overall and can be a useful utility for those interested in panoramas.
Best of luck!
