Re: [xwiki-devs] Map Application - GSoC 19

Hi Fawad, hi all, queries and the search integration in the user interface, that's cool! something similar to this map: activated, they show up in an overlay panel on top of the map, without hiding the list. well, and can be completely hidden on request 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? Yes indeed, 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. suggestions: https://up1.xwikisas.com/#SB7B5mLNnfnUVAogWTLarw I think it's an efficient way to layout the widgets indeed. I agree the map may look cramped in case there are panels on the left and on the right, but the user typically would have an option to hide the results, ideally. There's one change I would suggest, that would be to layout the filters either as an overlay or as a replacement of the list, and to move the filter button closer to the search input. Regarding the filter position: the Airbnb search illustrated below behaves quite nicely imho (when you hit "More filters", you get a new panel on top with all the filters), what do you think? https://up1.xwikisas.com/#zNABtIwH-Z-hSSUgFx-y4Q As for the information associated with each point or area, we have several options: either place it in popups on top of the map like Airbnb, or have it in the search result area, like what Google Maps proposes, or display it in a lateral panel like GoGoCarto. I would opt for popups by default, and if possible later on, leave the option to display it in the search area in case of large content, what do you think? Ideally, the panel for displaying this information would be a template that could be easily styled and customized for each map? 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. I think that'd be a nice feature generally speaking to ease the import of Wikidata into XWiki indeed, I have a side project on which I'm considering such developments as well, not sure yet about the outcome. If you feel like it will be useful for generating more demo maps, I'd say that'd be good indeed, but with the caveat of not digging too much in that direction for not hampering the map development of course. 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. Ok, thank you for letting us know. I'd say at this stage that'd be great to keep progressing on functional testing automation and to finalize and release 1.0, I guess we're in tune but, as you did since the beginning, don't hesitate to raise questions about the priorities and the next steps of course.

Do you think it is practical that we replace this widget with the search results when the user wants to see the search results and show the widget back again when the user clicks on the widget control? I am not too sure what approach I should choose here in terms of UX. something similar to this map: activated, they show up in an overlay panel on top of the map, without hiding the list. well, and can be completely hidden on request the facets replace the list in that case (when hitting "Autres filtres"), which is a bit less convenient in my opinion, but not a big deal: https://www.google.com/maps/search/Restaurants/@48.865957,2.352974,16z width as is seen in all the examples you gave me? full-screen indeed, similarly to what happens with the XWiki text editor. so that it is available for your review, including the demo tests that Vincent suggested. slauriere(a)xwiki.com <mailto:slauriere@xwiki.com> <mailto: slauriere(a)xwiki.com <mailto:slauriere@xwiki.com>>> wrote: -- Stéphane Laurière XWiki – https://xwiki.com
