New Add-on: FG Location

A new add-on, FG Location, from the fine folks at Feisty Goat (referred to as “the goats”) allows you to easily include Gowalla or Foursquare check-ins right in your ExpressionEngine templates.

The goats are huge fans of Gowalla and Foursquare so we decided to unleash an ExpressionEngine 2 add-on that displays information about a user’s last checkin-in. Originally conceived and developed for one of our personal sites, we decided to make it into a full blown commercial add-on. To make this magic work once installed, all you need is a username for Gowalla, or the private RSS feed for Foursquare. Pretty easy lemon squeezy.

There are template variables for just about everything you’ll need, like location name, city, state, coordinates, google map information and more.

The add-on costs only $5 and is available from Devot:ee. I am told by my sources that no goats were harmed in the making of this add-on.
