History: CartoGraf

View page Show All Versions

Preview of version: 80

CartoGraf is a map and drawing centric profile for Tiki. It's an application to enhance learning in history and geography classes in high schools. 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.

Work in Progress...

Using:


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 
    {module name=map_search_location}
    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"?

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

  • Permit deletion of own entries and own zones
  • Sharing & map selection: improve interface
  • Add search box
  • Zone: is it colored with legend or we have meta-data like markers?
