OpenLayers

Sunday, October 5, 2008

Well...

There have been other problems today, with the markers.
It seems that the OpenLayers team was doing some little changes this week-end with the API of demonstration... yes, OpenStreetBugs used to use the API of demonstration from OpenLayers. This could seems strange but their API of demo was less buggy than their official API.

New :
- OpenStreetBugs should load much faster ;
- Strange new bugs could happen anytime (hipee yeah !).

  1. Hey,
    Great site! I would linke to add markers to my site like you do. With the ability to be created by users and so on. Can you give me a little advice how to do this? Or provide some of the source from openstreetbugs? That would be great.

  2. Hi

    OSB is made around 3 components :
    - a server side data storage (in my case : Python + googleAppEngine)
    - an open API to draw the map, called OpenLayers
    - a link between OpenLayers and the datastorage

    The first one (the server side) is specific to the hosting. And it is not quite complicated to develop.

    The second part (OpenLayers) is freely available. Just look for it.

    The last part (the glue) is available but is ugly. This is the "script.js" file.

  3. Ok, I'll try it. Thank you
