AJAX,PHP,JOOMLA (Component Customizing)

I am building up a Community in Joomla. Now I just need someone who has more time than me. I can't finish it by myself. I need an experenced PHP programmer who is not afraid to extend a Joomla Component. 1. - Extend an event component by an adress field as a meeting point to travel to an event together. - Make a new Component which loads all start and target cities as a span with an class and an city ID - I prepared a simple ajax function which changes the class of each city-span and shows an info layer. Now someone has to build in the database connection to get the right information when user clicks on a location-span. 2. positioning the spans we just can set the positions by stored top:### and left:### styles. But I think we should make it like this: - ask google for the Coordinates (address-geocoding-service) - define a rectangle by 2 x coordinates and 2 y coordinates and the real map coordinates. - calculate the x and y coordinates of the geocodes location. Example(it is not exactly): Our rectangle: x1, x2, y1, y2 Translating in Geocoordinates(in this case germany) x1=0 : 6.960000 x2=300 : 13.830000 y1=0 : 54.750000 y2=500 : 47.600000 ya=53.520000, xa=9.920000 = Hamburg 13.830000-6.960000 = 6.870000 (x1->x2) 9.920000-6.960000 = 2.96 (distance x1->xa) 2.96/6.870000=0.4308588 (percent of x1-->x2) (0,4308588 * 300=129) 54.750000-47.600000 = 7.150000 (y1->y2) 54.750000-53.520000= 1.23 (distance y1->ya) 1.23/7.150000=0,172027972 (percent of y1-->y2) (0,172027972*500=86) So Hamburg is on x=129;y=86 in our rectangle Position-CSS: span#ID_HAMBURG {top:86; left:129;} Perhaps it's a complicate description, but it's not that difficult... Sounds interesting? If not, I'll also pay for it :-) It's your turn!!! Many others projects will follow! [Projectdesription with more tasks is attached] p.s.: you also can do it your way.
