New maps¶

This meeting is about rewriting the map functionality in the OpenAtlas user interface, see issue #1628 and draft.

• Talk about general layout, e.g. input elements outside of map -
• Check issue and idea collections in draft
• Does the planned Bootstrap upgrade makes a difference? - No

• https://github.com/craws/OpenAtlas/commit/16a3a651bb6b448fa635308c48a4f83f3fe09fd6#diff-dfbbdc532f34cf3bac6a449b541308c49354acbf9c5fddfc36adc6d82715a094 - hack to fix the import display of the geonames import control - this is why the geonames components are currently not installed via NPM but hosted in static/vendor

A lot of information was tracked directly in issues and draft. Here, some key points are listed:

• The map module will be rewritten from scratch
• We continue using Leaflet in combination with jQuery
• We use this opportunity to update libraries or look for better replacements and look into replacing 3rd party code currently included (/openatlas/static/vendor) with a NPM installation
• The first version is mostly about implementing existing functionality, additional features will be added later
• The user interface will be redesigned, most probably we move form element outside the map and also list existing entries beside it
• It was suggested to implement it in a way that it can be tested and to write it as a component

User interface issues¶

Try to find some small user interface issues for Andi to get to familiar with the "user interface/backend" functionality, see map/ui query . E.g.

• #1593: Adding multiple aliases to an entity
