maptype options

Another difference between BM1 and BM2 is that when the Topo is zoomed far out 
it goes to the Terrain map instead of just the Map. Can it be changed to go to 
the Map?

Error radii needs to be No-Fill

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Map a bunch of overlapping error radii

You will see a pure-colored blob, resulting from the stacked transparency.  Fix 
This by removing the shading of the error radii and just displaying the error 
radii outlines.

Marker for just 1 marker

No results in range maps doesn't return an informative message

 Results when no species is present in the mapping service -- E.g. you had a search for "Rana+sylvatica" which was not in the gaa_2011 -- probably useful here to return a message that says "Unable to return rangemap for Rana+sylvatica".  I can do this as well before the release.

Draw Circle Radius modification-- update distance dynamically

I guess what I'm asking in the case of the radius is the following:
You click on the draw circle to start the process.
You click on the map to establish the centroid, and a window opens
As you drag the cursor away from the center, the window shows the radius length 
as it increases...

Sometimes markers don't show when loading page

This seems to be related to loading KML Layers, and when the KML layer takes 
longer to load than the markers, then it renders the KML but not the markers..

this is fixed by zooming in or out or changing application state.

Show Error Radii by Default Option

Dusty requests to show error radii by default.  This should be an option not 
for ALL instances of BerkeleyMapper, but only for specific ones.  

Need to research existing configuration options--- i think BM1 had this as a 
URL parameter, but these are not passed in BM2 so will need to create an XML 
configuration option.

Optimize Loading Performance for thousands of records.

When thousands of records are sent, there is a long delay on the initial load.  
Solution is to break up server response to client into just enough information 
to map the multi-marker symbols and rely on server calls for each zoom in/zoom 
out to render the multi-markers... 

Probably this tactic needs to be only employed when there are over 1,000 
markers.

Patch for /trunk/web/js/berkeleymapper.js

Good stuff! Just a general comment about scoping. All variables declared in 
this file (e.g., map, overlays, markers) are in the global scope! This mean 
that they could get clobbered by imported JavaScript files with variables 
having the same name. 

Quick fix is to declare a single global object and sandbox everything in it. 
For example:

var bm2 = {};
bm2.map = null;
bm2.markers = [];
bm2.jqGridAttributes = {...} 

Now you have a single global variable named bm2 that sandboxes everything.

Page Element Interactions

Interact with elements from a calling page.  Is this is a new service, trimmer 
version of BM2.0?   perhaps when BM is not called with actual points we can 
just load some points and make this embeddable in a DIV.  Some thoughts on 
things we can do with this:

1) Return a WKT polygon
2) Return a lat/lng/radius of a point

More explanatory text w/ the logo

 From Joyce Gross: "In BM1, there was an option to display a little bit of text above the map, along with logos. In BM2 we can now display logos with links to other sites. But as far as I know we can't include any text to the left of the map, where the logos are. Is it possible for you to add this? As part of the BM2 xml configuration, similar to the way we configure logos to appear?"

drop-down / UI enhancement

The drop down list all the way on the right side of the screen is confusing 
because the arrow is always cut off no matter how wide I make my browser. While 
I've learned to move the scroll bar on the bottom of the screen so I can see 
the right side of the map dropdown, it's a little clunky and it's confusing to 
people who haven't used BM2 before. Can you make a map come up that doesn't 
require users to scroll to see the right-most side? The cut-off happens in both 
FireFox and Chrome on my Win 7 PC.

Fix linkback method

-----Original Message-----
From: Martin Pullan [mailto:[email protected]]
Sent: Friday, September 21, 2012 7:18 AM
To: Les, Donald
Subject: RE: Mapper again...

Hi Les

It is a bit ugly bit it works - the issue was that the linkback was forming the 
query part of the link back url by putting an & after the url in the xml config 
file then putting in the value of the specified field in order to parameterise 
the query.

The way we had it set up was with the url

http://rbg-web2.rbge.org.uk/cgi-bin/nph-readbtree.pl/allspecs

which they transfomed into

http://rbg-web2.rbge.org.uk/cgi-bin/nph-readbtree.pl/allspecs&ETI={{BARCODE}}

which would not work because the & should be a ?

So I changed the config to

http://rbg-web2.rbge.org.uk/cgi-bin/nph-readbtree.pl/allspecs?

Which they transform into

http://rbg-web2.rbge.org.uk/cgi-bin/nph-readbtree.pl/allspecs?&ETI={{BARCODE}}

which is ugly but it works and should be

http://rbg-web2.rbge.org.uk/cgi-bin/nph-readbtree.pl/allspecs?ETI={{BARCODE}}


This may be because of the way the config file is set up but the documentation 
is so limited that it is hard to tell if that is the case.

You may want to pass this back to the Berkely mappper people because I think it 
may be a bug in their code whcih should but does not check to see if the url 
already contains a query string - if not they should construct the link back 
differently.
