Also, I forgot to mention it before but we will need a better and more
expressive way to show popups. We need something that can accomodate
sufficient amount of text with a scroll if the information exceeds the page.
I will prepare a mockup for this once I am done with some of the next steps.
And I think we should use the colortheme colors for our map controls and
consequently for the popups. I will update you on that as well.
Best,
Fawad

Hi Stephane, Caty and all,
Hope you are doing fine.
I am glad you brought up the topic of custom marker icon. I am well aware
of the issue. Actually there are two problems with custom markers.
- The icon offset
- The document attachment
For the icon offset, when I tried to fix it initially it seemed that I can
overcome the offset either by height or width which means that the offset
still exists from a single side so I had that postponed since I thought
solr query tasks take priority.
For the attachment, for now I am getting the first attachment (0th index)
from the Point page which is not very reliable. For example if we have
images on the page, it could be that the marker takes one of the
attachments even if the user did not want a custom icon or an image
different from what the user wanted to choose is selected as the marker
icon.
What I have in mind is that we define categories for marker icons
dynamically.
We could make a separate dedicated page "MarkerIcons" and attach multiple
images to it. Then these images could appear in a list as one of the
properties in the Point object where we can choose the icon from. WDYT?
Thanks,
Fawad
