History: CartoGraf

View page Show All Versions
Source of version: 272

__CartoGraf__ is an interactive web-based mapping application to enhance learning in history and geography classes in high schools. CartoGraf is mainly based on [http://doc.tiki.org/Maps|Maps], [http://doc.tiki.org/Drawings|Drawings], [http://doc.tiki.org/PluginAppFrame|PluginAppFrame] and [http://doc.tiki.org/Trackers|Trackers]. It is a great example of how to use profiles in a general purpose app (Tiki) to make a very specific application.

As of June 2012, it is in Beta. You can play with the demo at:  http://demo.tiki.org/cartograf/ (password is at: http://demo.tiki.org/)

To get your own copy of CartoGraf
# [http://doc.tiki.org/Download|Download] and [http://doc.tiki.org/Install|Install] --Tiki9 -- As of 2012-07-10, you need to get trunk (future Tiki10) for the latest and greatest goodies :-)  (Use the [http://dev.tiki.org/Daily Build|Daily Build] of from [http://dev.tiki.org/Get+code|SVN])
# Apply the CartoGraf profile
# Follow the profile Setup instructions

We hope you like it and please do join the community!

Work in Progress...

! Developer notes
* When you apply the profile, you may see "Preference set: geo_tilesets=Array" in the response. This is a cosmetic error. The preference is set correctly.
{CODE(caption="1-liner to re-install a fresh Tiki with profile")}php installer/shell.php install; sh setup.sh ; php lib/search/shell.php rebuild; php lib/profilelib/shell.php install CartoGraf ; sh setup.sh{CODE}

dependencies:

{CODE}


! Questions
* --Map title & description:  Where should they go?-- we found a place
* --Where should layer selector go?-- was decided at the bottom
* Is there any point for the "Editable" and "Markers" checkboxes currently in tools?
* Is there a way to fork-copy but not join?
! Todos 

!! At the end
* Make a French language profile for content and the top-level icons


!! Maps
* --Meta data about maps:  No current way to edit (title, instructions, etc. ) and delete after creation-- done
* --2012-08-24: Can't delete legends-- fixed
* --2012-08-24: Can't change colors of lines drawn on maps--  fixed
* --Minify JavaScript not working with 41807-- seems OK nowadays
* --StreetView: nicer error message when not found-- done
* --Texte on POI? (even without pop-up?)--  (not desired)
* Improve UI of POI (to be less "system" and more "application")
* --Search: after picking result from short list, list should disappear and perhaps maps should zoom in-- actually, this is debatable. You may want to click one by one to see if you are at the righ place. Let's leave as is.
* --Permalink has sourceId=undefined: is this for the map/layer? If so, doesn't work.-- fixed


!! Legends
* --2012-08-24: Default image not recognized-- fixed

!! Design
* Like Google Maps: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/MapQuest#MapQuest-hosted_map_tiles 
* Transform top tiles to a static image
!! Drawing bugs & enhancements
* Pass the current Tiki language to SVG-edit as per [http://code.google.com/p/svg-edit/wiki/ConfigOptions|ConfigOptions]
* --2012-08-24: File is not an image when trying to draw-- fixed
* Registered user should only be able to draw on own pictures 
* Regular drawings: missing canvas. Try from tiki-list_file_gallery.php on latest 9.x
* --Warning: imagecreatefromstring() [function.imagecreatefromstring]: Data is not in a recognized format in /home/learnow/public_html/cartograf/lib/images/gd.php on line 57-- fixed
* --pop-up too small-- fixed
** Now too big!
* --r41807: Registered users don't have draw on image button-- fixed
* --Stay in place after draw (Robert)--
** IE9 and Firefox are superb. Chrome needs an extra refresh to show background pic
* Drawing interface is cluttered (canvas seems too big)
* Why is opacity disappearing?
** Fixed via http://code.google.com/p/svg-edit/issues/detail?id=973
* Find a way to use http://code.google.com/p/svg-edit/wiki/ConfigOptions 
* Default opacity should be configurable via Tiki (we want 50% for CartoGraf)
* There are other suggestions/requests from Steve/Marie-Anne but we'll come back later to them (Marc has email about this)

!!! Trunk
* Proper testing of hiding buttons, and --add list to profile-- done
** --After: apply for a backport to 9.x-- done

!! General
* Test everything as a regular user
* Add a general image gallery for the POI interface (to improve on the search interface)
* --Print view of map, POIs and legend--
* demo users are forced to change password even though the profile says they don't need to
* jQuery pop-up make smaller when there is not a lot of content (better for small screens)
* As we are working collaboratively on .css and .tpl, how about adapt ((doc:PluginArchiveBuilder)) to build the theme zip?
* --Get it working on http://demo.tiki.org/cartograf/--
** --Weird issues, suspected issue with Lucene "Search index could not be updated. The site is misconfigured. Contact an administrator."-- looks OK now, perhaps was a broken template. running sh setup.sh seems to solve it.
** Demo should flush daily
*** Pass sender email, password, etc. in the cron job
*** Perhaps we could do two runs
**** 1st run is general profile (like everyone else)
**** 2nd run is profile with things specific to the demo (and hard coding instructions to avoid having any manual config)
* Make waiting with a better UI (ex.: blank page with spinner instead of seeing Tiki application stuff)
** Ask Jonny
* When logged in, link to tiki-register.php should be hidden

!! Workaroundable
* --Profiles for tracker Points of interest: order is not respected-- fixed

!! Community building
* A started profile with realistic course data
* More videos
* More docs
* A microsite would be nice but likely too much work for this phase

!! Limitations
* --We would have liked to add an [http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/overviewmap.html|Overview Map], but it is not working well. Next step would be to try again in OpenLayers 2.12 when it comes out.-- It works now!

!! Phase 2
