We’ve release a new version of the API, the safari bugs have been resolved. Let us know if you’re having any problems.

Safari users are currently experienceing problems with ZoomIn. The latest changes to the ZoomIn Map API
has created problems for safari users. We are aware of the problem and working on getting it fixed.

Power Editing

<center></center>

We have improved the way you edit place descriptions. Registered users can now add, remove, edit and change the content of a place description
without ever losing any of the previous changes. With the new editing software, you can easily add photos, links and styling to your place description. We have made the editing really simple by making it just like your word processor. What you see is what you get.

All Place descriptions are now public

We have also add the capability to enable public editing of places on ZoomIn. Now, anyone within the ZoomIn
community can edit public place pages on the site. We wanted to improve the content by allowing the ZoomIn community to update and maintain places on the site.

If you don’t want public editing on your places, just unclick the option on the right hand on the page and
press the Save button to turn it off.

Note: By default, we have changed all places on ZoomIn to be publicly editable. If you do not want your content to be edited by the public, you will need to change the settings for your places.

We’ll be keeping an eye on the new features, and we’ll be fine tuning over the next couple of weeks as we get your feedback. If you have any comments or suggestions or would like to change your settings in bulk, please contact us

We’ve added a couple of cool features to zoomin.co.nz:

Private Places – now you can set a place that you created to be private, which means that only you will be able to see it.
Or you can set the place to be visible only to a certain group.

To do this, go to a place that you have created (or create a new place), and look on the right hand side of the page. You can alter the privacy settings under the ‘Privacy Settings’ heading.

Video Embedding – now you can embed Youtube and Google Video videos in your comments and place descriptions.

To insert a youtube video:

• find the video in youtube
• copy the URL of the page, it should be something like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46LQd9dXFRU

• paste it into your comment text, between some youtube square brackets, like this:

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46LQd9dXFRU[/youtube]

You can do the same thing with google videos, by adding something like this to your comments:

[google]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4147604860974111184[/google]

You can see an example of an embedded video at http://zoomin.co.nz/nz/wellington/rongotai/-wellington+airport/

You can now add a IFRAME ZoomIn map to your website for your favourite groups. (See the map of the Silicon Welly group on ZoomIn.)

Enjoy!
