Re: [xwiki-devs] [Contrib] New repo and JIRA for an OpenStreetMap macro

Stéphane, One of the very interesting derivative of OpenStreetMap is umap http://umap.openstreetmap.fr That’d be yet another provider, right? paul On 26 Jun 2018, at 20:44, Vincent Massol wrote: > Hi Stephane, > >> On 26 Jun 2018, at 20:37, Stéphane Laurière <slauriere(a)xwiki.com> wrote: >> >> Hi devs, >> >> We have a MapMacro already [1], for displaying Google Maps. I'd like to create a distinct one for creating maps based on OpenStreetMap. Another option would be to enhance the existing MapMacro for supporting the display of OSM maps in addition, but this would make the code more complex, and in general an administrator willing to use maps in his wiki is likely to opt for one map type, probably not both, what do you think? > > Since this is not a large “component”, I think my preferences goes to a single {{map}} macro, with a “provider” parameter (provider=“google”, “openstreetmap”, “apple”, etc) and possibly aliases such as {{googlemap}} {{openstreetmap}} which would simply be shortcuts for {{map provider=“google”}} and {{map provider=“openstreetmap”}}. > > I think it would make it simpler from a user POV. I’d prefer to have one recommended map macro that we try to support instead of a myriad of smaller map macros that would not be recommended and at various levels of support. > > WDYT? > > Thanks > -Vincent > >> If you agree, the proposed repo name and JIRA would be: >> >> - Repo: macro-openstreetmap >> - JIRA project: OSM >> >> [1] https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Map%20Macro >> >> Thank you, >> >> Stéphane >> >> >> -- >> Stéphane Laurière >> XWiki www.xwiki.com >> @slauriere >> >>
