Hi, all. I'm working away on #1073 [1], and making steady progress [2]. I'm finding myself bolting on quite a bit of code to support the specification of size & location of the icon images themselves. There's still more processing to be done to translate "Pizza Restaurants" to "pizza.png". Rather than pollute the georss.xml class with this functionality I intend creating an IconManager class that performs as follows: - it takes a size, offset, root and suffix parameters - it is able to provide an openlayers.icon when provided with a String (an rss category from my implementation of georss.xml) - or returns null if it can't provide an image. - it has over-rideable function to determine the image to produce, though the default functionality will be to convert the string to lower case and swap underscores for spaces - then prepend with the root and append with the suffix
I'm got the following questions: - can anybody point me to a suitable folder to contain this functionality - should it be included in its own ticket? - any other thoughts? In the working branch at [2], you still load georss.xml, but observe that some of the rss entries have had arbitrary categories added - and see the unique markers shown [1] http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/1073 [2] http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/ianmayo/branches/rss/openlayers/examples/georss.html -- Ian Mayo PlanetMayo Ltd _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
