History: CartoGraf

Source of version: 114

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

It will be launched in June 2012.

To get your own copy of CartoGraf
# [http://doc.tiki.org/Download|Download] and [http://doc.tiki.org/Install|Install] Tiki9 (Use the [http://dev.tiki.org/Daily Build|Daily Build] until 9.0 is officially released.
# Apply the CartoGraf profile
# Follow the profile instructions

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

! 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.
* --If you want a search box (until it appears in the design), put  {CODE()}{module name=map_search_location}{CODE} in the AppFrame at ((CartoGraf_Map)).--

! Questions
* Meta data about maps
** No current way to edit after creation
** Should we add a description text area which will end up in the space instead of "placeholder"?
* Should we add test users?
** ex.: demo/demo
* Map Legend
** For zones
** For POI icons?
** Where does it go?
* Map title
** Where does it go?
* Where should layer selector go?
* Is there any point for the "Editable" and "Markers" checkboxes currently in tools?

! Bugs
* Drawing
** 2012-05-23: doesn't work on Street View images that are in pop-up (video sent to luci)
** 2012-05-23: Registered users don't have draw on image button
** 2012-05-23: Drawing works, but when you go back to view, SVG layer is visible but background in gone (but if you edit, it's OK) 
** 2012-05-23: Drawing inteface is cluttered (too bigs, too many scrollbars)
* Maps
** 2012-05-23: IE9 is fine with OpenStreetMap but not the 3 Google layers
** 2012-05-23: Left hand grab and zoom icons should remain when in StreetView, TrackerInput and Draw mode

! Todos 
* 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."
* Bigger icons
* --Fix Search-- Done
* --Need a blank layer (to show drawings without the distraction of the map)-- Done
* Permit deletion of own entries and own zones
* Sharing & map selection: improve interface
* --Add search box (which is currently in the tools section)--
* Add colors to the current lines and zones
** Is it colored with legend or we have meta-data like markers?
** If it's not like markers, we should remove some of the current fields
*
