History: CartoGraf
Preview of version: 467
CartoGraf is an interactive web-based mapping application to enhance learning in history and geography classes in high schools. CartoGraf is mainly based on Maps, Drawings, PluginAppFrame and Trackers. It is a great example of how to use profiles in a general purpose app (Tiki) to make a very specific application.
As of June 2012, it is in Beta. You can play with the demo at: http://demo.tiki.org/cartograf/ (password is at: http://demo.tiki.org/)

Limit username pattern
CartoGraf relies heavily on Unified Search (Zend_Search_Lucene). Because of this, a username jean-marc won't work (but jean_marc is OK). Since hypens are often used in emails, you can't use CartoGraf with the pref "Use email as username" (login_is_email). Space and quote should also not be permitted.Copy to clipboard

Developer notes
- When you apply the profile, you may see "Preference set: geo_tilesets=Array" in the response. This is a cosmetic error. The preference is set correctly.

To think about
- Should Map and MyMaps merge? (and we just show alternate content to anonymous users)
How could we have?
- A way to have Max disk space per user 20Megs chaque
- When a map is deleted, associated markers, zones and legends should as well.
- Have a web service to delete users (because they are deleted in another system)
- When a user is deleted, so are the maps (and from the maps, the markers, zones and legends as well
- A way to start a drawing when there is no image in the background?
Image bank
- Clarify use case: It is forked/copied because we don't want the SVG overlay.
- The current file search has problems
- Doesn't work for Street View images
- If one person draws on them, that drawing appears for all
- There is no visual browse
- http://elfinder.org/ has a lot of features but doesn't really look like http://doc.tiki.org/dl38
- Maybe we need more PluginGalleriffic?
- There are also: PluginColorbox, PluginCarousel, PluginFiles and PluginSlider
- Maybe we need more PluginGalleriffic?
- http://elfinder.org/ has a lot of features but doesn't really look like http://doc.tiki.org/dl38
- What are permissions?
- Site admins add pictures
- All registered users can copy them to their accounts

My Maps link (recently created) -
Join map button (you see this when someone emails you share code) -
Duplicate map button (you see this when someone emails you share code)

Hide the right-hand button/link to tiki-register.php when user is Registered.— done
Jonny and/or Robert
- UI of file field type for trackers
-
Integrate http://elfinder.org/ as a file browser / pickerDone- Can you add a way to restrict to certain file galleries (ex.: Gallery #3 and children)
- Should be done r43770 (jb)
- Please set the profile to pick from the "Image Bank" file gallery and children (ml)
- Can you add a way to restrict to certain file galleries (ex.: Gallery #3 and children)
- The image should be copied (forked) as if it was an image from an external site. Copied from File Gallery "ref: imageBank" (populated by site admins) to "ref: imageContainer" (Images uploaded by students)
- Since this is the less common use case, another option to use/link would make a lot of sense
- Don't really follow this one - guess it needs to be some sort of option on tracker Files field... discuss (jb)
- Or maybe it should be "forked" when someone draws on it? (so part of svg-edit)
- Ok, let's discuss with Robert (ml)
- Since this is the less common use case, another option to use/link would make a lot of sense
-
- 2012-11=09 discussion with CartoGraf team
- Plan A: Background image is the same for all dups (save disk space, and like StreetView). SVG drawing be duplicated, and thus, editable and independant
- Plan B: Background image is duplicated (Thus, uses more disk space) SVG drawing be duplicated, and thus, editable and independant
- Plan C: Background image is the same for all dups (save disk space, and like StreetView). SVG drawing doesn't not follow, but user can recreate
Jonny
- For zooms to be higher level like here: http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/google.html (Street/Hybrid/Satellite)
- When join a map, copy name and instructions (ideally in the background). They are viewable/editable if the user desires
- When click shared map code, view with opened tab
- After adding a PoI/StreetView you fill form, but after you should be in pan/zoom mode
-
Bookmarkable slide-out of right hand sliders and/or some wizard-like pop-ups to explain to the user how it works (start using http://framindmap.org/framindmap.html to see what I mean). So we can link/document to how to create a map (now you need to know to open the slider)Done - text areas now have a height, which works in system tracker interface, but not via the end user interface to create maps
-
works via tiki-view_tracker.php but not in end-user interface with latest svn up and refresh of templates (but seemed to work for a while). If you need tpl changes, attach them to this wiki pageDone - was set to fixed height in the css, i changed it to min-height (guessing that was what was meant) (jb)
-
- Add a tracker setting to make tracker management via tiki-view_tracker.php accessible only to tiki_p_admin_trackers for that tracker (or a similar strategy to reach this objective)
- For example, if you now click in top-right map slideout box, and then "description", you have a clickable link to tiki-view_tracker.php Another example is in print mode. Perhaps we could should make a template in wiki pages for this? (à la Pretty Tracker with Template to display an item wiki:pageName for a wiki page or tpl:tplName for a template
- Would have to be in trunk now, or wait until after 10.0 release? (jb)
- Can be in trunk and we'll backport for this specific project (or apply for a backport to 10.x)
- Would have to be in trunk now, or wait until after 10.0 release? (jb)

-
Hide background wiki page while map loads (fraction of a second of ugliness)- Better enough? (jb)
- Yes, good enough (ml)
- Better enough? (jb)
-
The site requires IE9 (which is required for SVG-edit): can we have some sort of bubble, overlay, topline or something to warn users they have to upgrade their browser? Related: https://dev.tiki.org/item2710resolved. There is now a file styles/CartoGraf/custom.js - Add a "duplicate map" (which is to duplication your own map) link/button in the map slideout box.
-
Ideally, it asks for name of new map, if not, it calls it ABC-copydone- (ABC-copie in French)
-
-
Ideally a delete map button as well- How can it also delete the related data (zones and PoIs) (see with LPH )
Only if easy
- Ideally, in tracker file/image upload, make the image visible after upload (right now, it's just the text of the name of the file)
- Again, now in trunk or after 10.0? (jb)
- trunk now please
- Again, now in trunk or after 10.0? (jb)
- If easy, jQuery pop-up make smaller when there is not a lot of content (better for small screens) . For example, when you delete an item.
Won't do
- elFinder: Perhaps thumbnails could be bigger than now, so as to not have to preview each image
- Tried, would need complex css changes to stop layout breaking up badly
- Ok, leave as is, then
- Tried, would need complex css changes to stop layout breaking up badly
LP
-
Add a way for a user to delete his own mapdone by Jonny- What about PoIs/Zones that are in the other trackers?
- At the end, make a French language profile for content and the top-level icons
- When site is in French, SVG-edit is as well
Robert
-
Sometimes, SVG-edit starts without a background canvas. Any idea why?fixed for Chrome
Testing with 2 registered users
Sharing
Joining
- Test: Registered user should only be able to draw on own pictures
- Can user A join a map of user B?
Duplicating
- Can user A duplicate/fork a map of user B? (but not join)
- In which case, all the elements are independant, and can be deleted. If map
Phase 2
SVG-edit luci
- Make SVG-edit nicer as attempted here: tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=67&download=y, tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=68&download=y
SVG-edit
- Help community with: https://code.google.com/p/svg-edit/wiki/CommunityConferenceCall
- Get commit access for Robert so things like this can be resolved
- was having difficulty using zoomChanged, also opacity was hidden and not clickable
- Find a way to use http://code.google.com/p/svg-edit/wiki/ConfigOptions
- Default opacity should be configurable via Tiki (we want 50% for CartoGraf)
- It was tried and rolled back
- Default opacity should be configurable via Tiki (we want 50% for CartoGraf)
- Nicer UI (see video in luci section above)
jCapture-applet
- Make features/actions optional and have a way to override jCapture defaults
- An option to save image or video to desktop (maybe?)
Export and sharing
- Evaluate how to share map data between two cartograf applications or with other mapping apps
Other ideas
- tracker logging in profile?
- A way to delete old/inactive users and all their data (including tracker data)
- See if there would be a way to not limit usernames to A-Z, 0-9 and _ (underscore) which is because we are using Zend_Search_Lucene
Community building
- A started profile with realistic course data
- More videos
- More docs
- A microsite would be nice but need to think of maintainability
