Hi all,
Hope you all are doing wonderfully.
We still have the issue for the facets rendering but its up on the forum,
so I think we will have some fixes for it in due time (thanks to Stephane).
In the meantime, I will try making the facets more specific to the map.
For now I am considering the following options for facets:
- Tags
- Search field (searches inside map item pages)
- Map item type (PointClass for now)
- Map item icon (?)
- Map item space
I will need some suggestions on which other options should be included.
Next, I will
- Be working on making a dedicated space for popups inside or besides the
map. Something similar to
https://abc.gogocarto.fr
- Make use of theme styles and colors for the map itself and the items
inside
- Be making the query search asynchronous
Also, I will be working part time for the next week and I have exams the
week after that. So I would like to let you know that I would not be
available for the exams period for the most part. :(
I will try to finish most of the work and get the application in a stable
state by then. :)
Ecaterina also mentioned that we release the application, I propose we do
that next week as soon as the facets are in a stable state.
That would be great in order for people to faster install it and test it.
You could also request feedback on the forum if you want.
When releasing you also need to write the documentation for the existing
features, mentioning how to use them, etc. + list the fixed issues.
I managed to get the maps working. Thanks for your help.
Some comments on the current state:
- Maps/MapTesting/Maps/TestMap - I find it strange that the Maps space is
duplicated
- MapTesting, Maps, Points - spaces don't have homepages. The users will
navigate to them, since they are present in breadcrumb. So what is the
plan? Simpler paths? or create Homepages for these types of entry?
- Lots of pages that are not hidden. All technical pages needs to be
hidden.
- A bit confusing that there are 2 search boxes for the maps, see
- The Search input is not really working. It kind of works (with a strange
reload effect) for queries like "Paris" or "Moscow", but if you enter
anything else it defaults on Paris. If that search is supposed to filter
only the existing points than the placeholder should state that somehow +
treat the non existing point with a "No point of interest found" or
something. Also when it doesn't find the location, the search facets area
is empty, so kind of hard for an user to recover it's track.
- Regarding the facets, we need some more user friendly translations and
customizations for this kind of UI, see
Thanks,
Fawad
