Hi everyone,

We currently use Community Builder (CB) on our Joomla site, and until now we used the Hotspots module from Compojoom to geolocate users and show map-based content. But we’ve learned that Compojoom is shutting down, and we’ll no longer be able to maintain or extend Hotspots. We even had to build a custom CB plugin to integrate it.
Now we are looking for a new mapping solution that:
  • Integrates (or can be adapted to integrate) with Community Builder user profiles (i.e. each user can set their location, map fields, etc.)
  • Allows users to configure or edit their location/content (e.g. address, marker info)
  • Offers features like radius search, filtering by distance, clustering, custom popups, etc.
  • Is maintainable / actively supported (or open to customization)

What would you recommend as the best tool or extension for this in a Joomla + Community Builder environment?
Have you used any mapping module or plugin you can strongly recommend (or conversely warn against)?

Thanks in advance for your insights — I’d love to hear real-world feedback, not just marketing claims

I don't have much experience with mapping extensions.

What mapping features we do have are primarily just in CB Activity where the location feature lets users select points on the map and search the map, but that's for selecting a location they're at for example. Integrations with OpenStreetMaps and GoogleMaps providing support for 2 different services.

I'll move your topic to the public general forums to increase chances of getting more replies since this category is for developer subscribers only.

Just as a side note are they planning to open source their current products? Put them on Github for example? If so maybe the community still using them can come together and update them as needed.

By the way you had a previous plugin with nordmagraph (Geomunity) that we used first. Do you know if it still available ?

I've no idea. Suggest checking the JED for available map extensions. Below is a prefiltered link for Joomla 5 and 6 compatible extensions.

extensions.joomla.org/instant-search/?jed_live%5Bquery%5D=map&jed_live%5BrefinementList%5D%5Bversions%5D%5B0%5D=50&jed_live%5BrefinementList%5D%5Bversions%5D%5B1%5D=51&jed_live%5BrefinementList%5D%5Bversions%5D%5B2%5D=60

Seams like the first result "My Maps location" maybe provides what you're asking?
