Fawad,
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.
I created the museum-map-test branch in order to progress on this path, I hope this helps.
In particular, imho, facets will be provided typically by objects from different classes
than the geographical ones, such as a the Museum class (which very basic for now, it's
just to expose the idea). My suggestion would be to progress toward an application that
works well with a single sample facet + a full text input field + popups indeed + list +
configurable icons and colors (typically one per facet value, I would say, so as for
instance to represent all archeologia museums in a given color - even though we don't
have that data yet, but we could use the countries all the same), and in parallel to
gather more sample data with more facets and to progress toward having several
configurable facets, what do you think?
Next, I will
- Be working on making a dedicated space for popups inside or besides the map. Something
similar to https://abc.gogocarto.fr <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.
Great
Cheers
Stéphane
Thanks,
