Users can search for a location and checkin into that location. Users will be able to see a chronological ordering of all the checkins of a particular user. This is going to be a part of pinax project.

Make sure you set your own yahoo map api key into views.py and your_locations.html files. Without the API_KEY the app wont work. Currently the app depends on pinax project.

Make sure you add location app to settings.py and /locations url to the root urls.py

Do check out blog posts on the app http://www.yashh.com/blog/2008/aug/17/building-brightkite-using-django-part-1/ http://www.yashh.com/blog/2008/aug/20/building-brightkite-using-django-part-2/
