Hi,
Hope all are doing well.
Extremely thanks for the information Ecaterina. It really helps. :)
I am trying to make filterable list maps but I am more or less stuck.
This is what I have done so far:
[image: image.png]
So what I have in mind for this is that each marker will have a category
and a custom popup. Then we can have custom marker image for each of the
category or for each of the marker separately. I wanted to have forms
directly inside the popup but that does not seem to be possible giving how
popups in leaflet work.
This is a little afar from what I observe in
https://napoleon-sainte-helene.plan-interactif.com and I am unable to think
of a better way to manage everything.
Stephane or Ecaterina, if you have a better approach and flow for this then
please let me know.
And Stephane, your help would be highly appreciable.
Thanks. Best,
Fawad

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?
All the code commits need to be associated with an issue. The reason is
also practical: when you look at the blame, you will easily identify the
issue, and the issue will list screenshots, multiple commits, related
issues, etc.
Keep [misc] just for edge cases or exceptions, but the Progress.md is not
code, so you don't need an issue for that. Still, it's a bit strange to
have the progress in gitHub, since it's more project management, than code.
When you will release the application, that page will able be part of the
release. Alternatively, you could keep the progress in a design page, but
it's also up to you.
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.
On the community side, we support just 3 version (see
https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Support#HSupportedVersions). So
in practice, new applications should support at least the LTS. Our current
LTS is 10.11.8 (so 10.11.x). The 8.x version in .pom was just an example.
You should also try to see if you have the same encoding issues with
10.11.x versions, if not, use that as a parent.
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.
"every major functions" will be tracked in issues, not in the project
version. We don't release snapshots versions. Snapshots builds are used
when continuous integration is enabled. More at
https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/VersioningAndReleasePractice…
. You project releases should start at 1.0, etc.
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.
the URL should be as short as possible for the end-user and semantic. If
you have 'Map' in the breadcrumb, the user will go in each parent to see
functionality.
I will be sure to provide screenshots for the
next time. :)
Easier to review and to get traction. Thanks :)
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?
We need Stephane 's opinion since he was the one that proposed the project,
so he knows better the use cases.
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.
You could select the type of map you want from a checkbox in the create
sheet. I would unify as much as possible the way to create maps.
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.
What kind of options do you have in mind for the filterable list? A
general
flow would really help me in direction.
Stephane?
Thanks. :)
Thanks,
Caty

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. :)
