This addon allows you to use OpenStreetMap for displaying locations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To use this plugin you need a tile server that provides the map images.
|
|
|
|
|
OpenStreetMap data is free for everyone to use. Their tile servers are not.
|
|
|
|
|
Please take a look at their "Tile Usage Policy":
|
|
|
|
|
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy
|
|
|
|
|
You can run your own tile server or choose one from their list of public
|
|
|
|
|
tile servers: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TMS
|
|
|
|
|
Support the OpenStreetMap community and share the load.
|
|
|
|
|
The same counts for Nominatim, the reverse geocoding service, that will
|
|
|
|
|
translate place names to coordinates.
|
|
|
|
|
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim and their usage policy:
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Activate the plugin from your admin panel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the plugin settings page of your admin panel you can now configure:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* the *tmsserver* Tile Server (which map server to open if we have coordinates)
|
|
|
|
|
* the *nomserver* Nominatim Server (which server to use to look up coordinates
|
|
|
|
|
for place names)
|
|
|
|
|
* default *zoom* level
|
|
|
|
|
* if a *marker* should get shown on the map if we have coordinates
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Tile Server URL points to the tile server you want to use. Use the full URL,
|
|
|
|
|
with protocol (http/s) and trailing slash.
|
|
|
|
|
The Nominatim Server URL points to the reverse geocode service you want to use.
|
|
|
|
|
Use the full URL with protocol (http/s) and path.
|
|
|
|
|
You can configure the default zoom level on the map in the Default Zoom box.
|
|
|
|
|
1 will show the whole world and 18 is the highest zoom level available.
|
|
|
|
|
You can configure if a marker shoul be shown on the map
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also use the CLI config utility for configuration:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./util/config openstreetmap tmsserver "http://www.openstreetmap.org/"
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./util/config openstreetmap zoom 16
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Alternative Configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you prefer to use a configuration file instead of the admin panel or the CLI
|
|
|
|
|
open the .htconfig.php file and add "openstreetmap" to the list of activated
|
|
|
|
|
addons.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-04-17 16:29:18 +02:00
|
|
|
App::$config['system']['addon'] = "openstreetmap, ..."
|
2015-12-08 13:57:50 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can configure the addon with these variables:
|
|
|
|
|
|
2016-04-17 16:29:18 +02:00
|
|
|
App::$config['openstreetmap']['tmsserver'] = 'http://www.openstreetmap.org/';
|
|
|
|
|
App::$config['openstreetmap']['nomserver'] = 'http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php';
|
|
|
|
|
App::$config['openstreetmap']['zoom'] = '16';
|
|
|
|
|
App::$config['openstreetmap']['marker'] = '0';
|
2015-12-08 13:57:50 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The *tmsserver* points to the tile server you want to use. Use the full URL,
|
|
|
|
|
with protocol (http/s) and trailing slash. You can configure the default zoom
|
|
|
|
|
level on the map with *zoom*. 1 will show the whole world and 18 is the highest
|
|
|
|
|
zoom level available. This can vary between tile servers.

## TODO
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Find better way to handle location only items without coordinates
|
|
|
|
|
* Use Nominatim in "Set your location" window for suggestion and to get
|
|
|
|
|
coordinates to use
|
|
|
|
|
* Add OpenLayers (2-Clause BSD) or Leaflet (2-Clause BSD) for on-site displaying
|
|
|
|
|
of maps
|
|
|
|
|
* Pick coordinates an location from a map in "Set your location"
|
|
|
|
|
* Add views with markers on maps, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
* How to handle planets etc. locations? Shouldn't bug Nominatim with them.
