This is the basic documentation page of the Mapstraction CCK project.
This project aims to integrate the OpenSource JavaScript Mapstraction library. Mapstraction is a library that provides a common API for various javascript mapping APIs to enable switching from one to another as smoothly as possible.
One of the goals of this module is to integrate in a single module some mapping APIs instead of use a different module for each one. This module provides a fully configurable widget for georeferencing nodes using the Geo module API.It also provides several ways to display maps within nodes and blocks with geographic information. One of the last features developed has been the Views integration, through a new view style called Mapstraction Map, that allows to show the geographic information obtained in a view in a Mapstraction map. This view style is based on the implementation of the Mapstraction module.
This module is under hard development and is undergoing continuous changes and improvements, for better and more updated information, please visit the Mapstraction CCK project page.
To test the module behaviour and properties, you can visit a demonstration site which can perform all available operations. This site is availabe here.
Module requirements
This is a new module and works with the latest stable version of the Geo module. For a suitable module behavior, is needed to use the alpha5 Geo module version, including the patch proposed in:#640492: hook_gis_input info() and widgets issues .
This module is optimized for PostGIS database, and the Proximity filter is only available on this Database server and on a special beta distribution of MySQL Spatial server. You can try this distribution here.
This module is being developed and maintained by Pablo López and Eduardo Riesco, from the IDELab group at Valladolid University, Spain
