Hi Fawad, Hi all,
Hi Stéphane, all,
Hope all of you are in good health.
I wanted to clarify how I should make the map editor so that we are on the same
page.
What I have in mind is a map with tools for creating points, paths and shapes.
The user will be able to set basic options like the title, style and popup
content from the map editor. The user will define the xwiki space the map items
will be created in and then each map item will be created with the given title
and content. If no title is given, the map item will be numbered according to
its type e.g. Point1, Point2 if there are 2 untitled points.
What do you think of this? Please let me know so I can start working on it.
yes, I think it would be useful indeed. For generating page names in case non
is typed by the user, you could use the UIN Service:
<https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/UIN%20Script%20Service>
+1 for making the editor available directly from the application home page.
Cheers
Stéphane
Thanks,
Fawad

Stephane,
I think the users would require an editor.
Having to create each shape separately would be cumbersome for them.
Especially with the case of indoor structures where potentially 10-20 shapes
would be created for each level on average.
If an advance user does want to link marker icons with facet values he can
use the same kind of images for points and attach a custom class object to
categorize them. I don't think it should be prioritized above the editor.
Best,
Fawad

It would be useful indeed, it seems we're reaching the point where we
consider doing a real map editor in addition to a map viewer. I'm just
wondering how it goes in terms of priorities and preferences, since having a
working structure for dealing with semi-advanced map styles (I have in mind in
particular the capacity to associate marker icons with facet values) and also a
full-fledged demo showcasing all the major features would be interesting as
well. It depends on your inclination really, I feel like you prefer progressing
on the editor? Do you still plan to write a small report by the end of the GSoC
as well?
Stéphane
