5 - Optional: mod_js_media_batch_geocoder
Only required if you're willing to show Jomsocial Photo Albums and/or Videos on Geommunity3 maps.
Jomsocial allows members to set a location to their Photo Albums and Videos. Unfortunately, for now these media locations are stored in the Jomsocial database as postal addresses and although these database tables have latitude and longitude fields, Jomsocial do not use these (yet?).
As Geommunity3 requires media to have coordinates, we provide Jomsocial administrators with a simple yet powerfull batch Media Geocoder admin module.
This module installs via the regular Joomla installer:
After installation, go to your modules manager and filter the modules list by 'Administration' (not 'Site') to find administration modules:
Make sure you enable the module and set it to the CPANEL module position so it shows on the home page of your Joomla administration at the cpanel position.
Have a look at the various settings.
Mode: Manual requires you click a button to process, automatic is actually semi automatic, it will process every time the cpanel page is loaded.
Explude options: allow you to exclude media categories from being geocoded. Set coma separated category IDs list.

Required address accuracy: Set it according to the quantity of coma found in the media address. if you only require one coma, every medias having 'Paris, France' as an address would be located at the exact same place, in the middle of Paris. Requiring 2 comas would expect that the address also has a street mentioned so that medias are not all located in every cities exact middle.
