History: CartoGraf

View published page Collapse Into Edit Sessions

Preview of version: 168

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.

It is currently (June 2012) in Beta.

To get your own copy of CartoGraf

Download and Install Tiki9 (Use the Daily Build of from SVN until 9.0 is officially released).
Apply the CartoGraf profile
Follow the profile instructions

We hope you like it and please do join the community!

Work in Progress...

(Do not use Kaltura wikiplugin as it is not enabled in default install when viewing the profile before apply)

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.

1-liner to re-install a fresh Tiki with profile

Copy to clipboard

php installer/shell.php install;php lib/search/shell.php rebuild; php lib/profilelib/shell.php install CartoGraf

Questions

Map title & description: Where should they go?
Where should layer selector go?
Is there any point for the "Editable" and "Markers" checkboxes currently in tools?

Todos

Maps

Minify JavaScript not working with 41807
Permit deletion of
- ~~own POIs~~ done
- ~~own zones~~ done
- own legends
StreetView: nicer error message when not found
Texte on POI? (even without pop-up?)
Improve UI of POI (to be less "system" and more "application")
Search: after picking result from short list, list should disappear and perhaps maps should zoom in
Meta data about maps: No current way to edit after creation

Drawing

Warning: imagecreatefromstring() function.imagecreatefromstring: Data is not in a recognized format in /home/learnow/public_html/cartograf/lib/images/gd.php on line 57
- This happens here: http://learn.ourwiki.net/cartograf/Map?coordinates=-73.579473495484%2C45.52186416944%2C16&shareCode=abc&mapName=dsadf
~~pop-up too small~~ fixed
r41807: Registered users don't have draw on image button
~~Stay in place after draw (Robert)~~
- IE9 and Firefox are superb. Chrome needs an extra refresh to show background pic
Drawing inteface is cluttered (too big, too many scrollbars)
Drawing: canvas seems too big
Why is opacity disappearing?

Trunk

Proper testing of hiding buttons, and ~~add list to profile~~ done
- After: apply for a backport to 9.x

General

Get it working on http://demo.tiki.org/cartograf/
- Weird issues, suspected issue with Lucene "Search index could not be updated. The site is misconfigured. Contact an administrator."
- Demo should flush daily
  - Pass sender email, password, etc. in the cron job
  - Perhaps we could do two runs
    - 1st run is general profile (like everyone else)
    - 2nd run is profile with things specific to the demo (and hard coding instructions to avoid having any manual config)
Make waiting with a better UI (ex.: blank page with spinner instead of seeing Tiki application stuff)

Community building

A started profile with realistic course data
More videos
More docs
A microsite would be nice but likely too much work for this phase

Limitations

~~We would have liked to add an Overview Map, but it is not working well. Next step would be to try again in OpenLayers 2.12 when it comes out.~~ It works now!
