Hi all,
I just gave a try to the latest code, well done with the Solr queries and
the search integration in the user interface,
that's cool!
Thanks Stephane. :)
Imho the most convenient UX is the following for these widgets, something
similar to this map:
http://carte.preference-commerce.fr/cci-fr/
That is:
- The facets can get activated from a button. When they get activated,
they show up in an overlay panel on top of the map, without hiding the list.
- The list gets displayed under the search input, in an overlay as well,
and can be completely hidden on request
Just to clarify things, the facets here refer to the "Refine your search"
area, the search input refers to the "Search in map" text input and the
list refers to the map item search results. Is that right?
If so, I believe, given the nature of XWiki's design with widgets to both
the right and left (for the default flavor), the space is a little cramped
for overlaying anything on the map. For the implementation of full screen
maps, we can overlay search and facets but for the normal view, the map
will become very small.
Here is a mockup I prepared based on my understanding of your suggestions:

Let me know what you think?
I have also come up with an idea to generalize the museum maps import and
export you created, Stephane. We could have a standard form of wikidata
query with some extra custom parameters for each location like the
MuseumClass in the Museums' case. These extra parameter will be checked in
JSON and classes will be created if required so that objects can be
associated to each map item and then later facets can be used based upon
these newly created classes.
WDYT?
Also, due to unprecedented circumstances within college, my exams have been
delayed for this week and will start from next week. So I will be working
this whole week on the project as opposed to what I told earlier.
Best,
Fawad
