This is incredible! I am blown away by Form Tools 2.1. I especially love the google maps module. I am hoping to implement it on a website that I am doing for a construction company but I am having a bit of trouble with the map.
I currently have an internal form where the client manages each project and it is diplayed dynamically on the website (http://www.carverconstruction.ca/cc_projects.php). However, the client would like the added feature of a map that shows each location and when they click on each starred location it brings up the information below. Furthermore, they want to be able to edit this right from formtools. I have experimented with Map Channels but it just isn't what I am looking for.
After seeing the new google map module, (http://hello.formtools.org/) it is exactly what they had in mind. I just don't know how to display it on the webpage. Is there anyone who can write a customized script for me? If so, how much would it cost?

You can view the JS here:

It's NOT very pretty (!!), but it may give you a few ideas. The server side code being loaded via an Ajax request just creates a JSON object containing the website info for showing on the map.
As soon as there are lots more websites listed for the map, I'll need to refactor it to load the content better. Still, it's a first step.
