Add clustering function for map to speed it up

[ed]

Maps are going very slowly - add a clustering function to speed it up

[jim]

This will be on a per-map basis (since many maps only show one pin)... This will probably be a views or gmap hook override. Will research after this SVN update.

[ed]

start on 'one big map' for phase 5
don't do others for now

[jim]

Notes for me: It's a function hook_gmap($op, &$map) thing... Will have to intercept the right map call, then enable the correct clusterer by some voodoo involving adding javascript and maybe calling the mystical _gmap_markermanager_override() function

Notes for Ed: This is certainly some coding, somewhere between .25 and 5 hours! Will come back to it later this week.

leaving this open to see if it can squeeze into phase 5

I won't be able to get to this today... Since I re-installed my machine my local copy of the TN site is toast. I'll build another one very soon. I stand by my estimate though.

Have this working on my machine... Fine tuning it now before shoving it in Git.

For future reference patch at ​http://drupal.org/node/1208420#comment-5287400 and tip at ​http://drupal.org/node/837092#comment-4419962 fixed the weird "2" count on MarkerCluster?.

Committing to DEV, then will tweak the views & settings on LIVE to use it.

Added to people, ini, project, and big map... Not perfect but should mean old computers and crappy browsers get a smoother experience.

[ed]

looks good to me - can't see a problem with it - and can't see how to add a 'tested' status.

[jim]

Hmmm... looks like we'd have to re-open it, then mark fixed. Seems a bit long-winded.
