Great component, crappy HTML

byswese44, July 24, 2009

This component is great and works very well, but the HTML is terrible. It is going to take me hours to remove all of the tables, inline styling, and deprecated tags. Please learn how to use CSS, don't use tables, and don't use tags like .

Also, it takes way to long to install the location data. There should be an easier way to do that.

I can't really complain because all of the programming stuff is taken care of, it's just too bad that the markup needs so much work.

Owner's reply

Well... The original creator has been unreachable and unhelpful for several years now.

This project was picked up by the community (to troubleshoot issues) and then by Bob Lavey (to convert/port it to Joomla v1.5.x).

Since we weren't the original creators, there is a LOT of the code which hasn't been re-written. Much of the HTML, tables, inline styling, and deprecated tags are a part of this original code.

Perfect! No frills, it just does exactly what it is supposed to do. Saved me the time of coding this myself. Thanks!
