Should I create jira issues for any updates I do during development? I made
my commits like INTMAP-R<number> for each revision I did. For simple
commits like changing the Progress.md file or a line or two in pom.xml, do
I use "[Misc]" for identifying the commit?
8.4-6 is the default version on
https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/DevGuide/Tutorials/Creat…
so
I did not change that. It is changed to 11.1 after the fix with encoding
issues. Thanks for that.
I was using the snapshots version to mark the completion of every major
function. Mainly a simple map and a path map for now so the version 1.0.2.
I would like to know if snapshots are supposed to be released.
For the URL path Map/Maps do you have a better path in mind for the created
maps? I think its right when all the other paths are hidden for the user.
I will be sure to provide screenshots for the next time. :)
For combining all the maps in a single livetable, I have a perspective that
for this application, every map is of a "kind" like a "path map" or
"simple
map" or later on "filtered list map". So I separated the maps based on
that
perspective. WDYT? Should I treat all the maps same?
Thankfully, the Map Macro uses the Macros.MapMacro space so we are safe for
that.
For the creation options, should I create a single template for the "Add"
button and separate the map editors with tabs? If I create a template for
each kind of map, the templates will become bulky I think.
I also wanted to talk about filtered list maps so that I can move on with
the development. Stephane sent me a link in the talks we had prior to this.
https://napoleon-sainte-helene.plan-interactif.com/en/#!/category/886826/@-…
What kind of options do you have in mind for the filterable list? A general
flow would really help me in direction.
Thanks. :)
Best,
Fawad

Some notes:
- Please create issues in JIRA and commit over the issues,
https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HRule:A…
- Why did you chose the 8.4-6 parent?
- pom version should not be 1.0.2-SNAPSHOT , since you didn't had any
previous release
- I don't have the errors you've pasted when doing mvn xar:format. For me
it adds only a single space. What OS are you using? Maybe try to clean your
environment? Not really sure what to suggest, especially since enygma
didn't reproduce the problem either.
- It's a bit strange the Map/Maps URL path.
- Currently it works nicely. Would have been easier to provide some
screenshots in order to make people want to test the app :)
- in terms of UX, we will need to combine:
-- all the maps in a single livetable,
-- under the same 'Map' space (careful - please test the Map Macro and
don't have conflicts on the space name)
-- the create should be done from the 'Add' button, using templates /
sheets
I haven't had a chance to look at the code yet.
But just wanted to give you a response / feedback: it looks good for now.
You did a great job :)
We need to discuss with Stephane and see exactly what use cases he wants to
cover.
Have a great week-end,
Caty

Hi developers,
Hope you all are well.
Interactive maps application's SNAPSHOT 1.0.2 is now available on GitHub.
:)
Link: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-interactive-maps
What has been done so far.
- Markers and popups
- Custom image support for markers
- "xwiki/2.1" syntax support for popups
- Simple forms for adding maps
- Dedicated "Map Editor" for creating maps
- Current location and location search controls
- Generating routes between two points
Maps can be created simply from Map.WebHome page or with the dedicated
Map
Editor for live preview.
ToDo.
- Implement WYSIWYG for "Popup Information" field (I have had some errors
in doing it)
- Compliance of code with XWiki standards (I should have done it from the
start. Sorry about that.)
Ecaterina and Stephane, I would like to ask you to evaluate how the
application is so far. Your reviews will be highly appreciated. :)
Best,
Fawad
