* JS doesn't find where orange cursor is on 2nd attempt when adding new place
 
**1) Click add place
 
**2) JS finds coordinates and gives you an address for the place where cursor is
 
**3) Close adding place
 
**4) Click again add place
 
**5) Now it doesn't find
 
  
* "Hitchability: Unknown • (1 vote)" - and what is this one vote in here then?
+
== To do ==
  
* Dragging'n'dropping orange "add place" -cursor gets disabled randomly(?)
 
  
* When adding place as an event, popup calendar of date-inputs can go too much to the right and cut out from the screen
+
=== embedded maps on hitchwiki ===
  
* Country names in some languages needs some fixing

Would be nice to get this working again:
  
* Text area width can cut out with some browsers (Linking -popup)
+
<map lat='47' lng='1.5' zoom='5' view='0' height='320' country='France'/>
  
* Country mouse hover popups look funny (update local graphics for openlayers?)
 
  
* You can open same card multiple times

* Cards don't close when opening new page

App that downloads the spots so you can use it offline.

Ideally also the whole of hitchwiki, of course.
* When opening a place with lots of comments (eg. http://yoshi.mega2000.de/~simison/maps.hitchwiki.org/?place=3266 ), the page might be too high and scrolls down a bit. At least with opera mac.
 
 
 
 
 
=TODO=
 
 
 
* Connect userlogin to the mediawiki login
 
** http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login
 
** See lib/mediawiki_login.php - started something, but not connected to any functionality
 
** Combine with lib/login.php and /logout/ ?
 
 
 
* More map layers (openlayers supports them, but it's been a bit tricky to get them to work properly)
 
**Google Satellite
 
**Google Maps
 
**MS Virtual Earth (they've got more roads for some countries compared to Google/OSM)
 
**(Yahoo?)
 
 
 
* Move ajax-called .php's to their own directory from /lib/ - it's a bit messy now when everything is there. Maybe /lib/ajax/
 
 
 
* Widget [http://yoshi.mega2000.de/~simison/maps.hitchwiki.org/widget.php]
 
** /widget.php -> /widget/ - just nicer
 
** Show area by country
 
** Show link to the big map (permalink)
 
** Don't show empty description bubbles (show "write a description" instead)
 
 
 
* Download
 
** Downloading KML-format files from Download
 
** Zipped downloads (gzm)
 
** Count of markers in the world
 
** Count of markers in the visible map area
 
 
 
* FB-connect
 
** Usually makes a big difference on login amounts
 
 
* Spam protection
 
** We're already saving IP's and timestamps
 
 
* Allowing users to write translated descriptions HTML/JS mostly done, just API backend TODO.
 
 
 
* Allow users to edit descriptions
 
 
 
* Allow deleting your own waitingtimes
 
 
 
* Clickable usernames around the site
 
 
 
* Loading animation when changing public transport catalog -country?
 
 
 
* Pagination for comments, users etc.
 
 
 
* <del>Not neccessarily a bug,</del> but setting ''Show markers after zoom level'' to ''1 - Contintent'' level is not really helpfull except if you try to crash it
 
** Yea, true, that's useless functionality. Though it's kinda cool how openlayers can manage over 3000 markers on the map and still it runs surprisingly easily on my browser. Google Maps can't handle even 300 markers without serious struggle. This, anyway, isn't too high prio. change to do. -[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] 10:53, 15 October 2010 (CEST)
 
 
 
 
 
==Ideas==
 
 
 
* Using a Google Street view API (check license)
 
 
 
* Showing [http://www.panoramio.com/ Panoramio] images
 
 
 
* Showing photos added to Hitchwiki
 
 
 
* Adding photos to a place?
 
 
 
* Show links to infopages about public transportation in city
 
 
 
* If using FB-Connect, why not OpenID like on hitchwiki? :)
 
** I know only how to implement FB-connect. But sure OpenID also. ;-) Anyway we need to look how we'll do this, maybe allowing registerations trough MediaWiki would be the best solution and then just using user-db for extra settings in Maps. -[[User:Mikael|Mikael]]
 
*** Yeah, I think it's easier to stick to one user db. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 19:37, 13 October 2010 (CEST)
 
**** Got any spare time to look into a MediaWiki login api? ;-) Should be easy to integrate. -[[User:Mikael|Mikael]] 20:29, 13 October 2010 (CEST)
 
 
 
* Pull data from Maps to the Wiki: public transportation, images, statistics...
 
 
 
* click on the number of places in the country = zoom in to this country
 
 
 
* may be a good idea not to calculate the average of waiting times for each spot, but to calculate the median to normalize extremes. don't know if this is possible and if you save all values on the database or just average and number of votes...

Heatchmap

Using the data from the Hitchwiki-Map, there was one (the first) published for Europe on Reddit in 2019 using the following method method.


Useful pointers


To do

embedded maps on hitchwiki

Would be nice to get this working again:

<map lat='47' lng='1.5' zoom='5' view='0' height='320' country='France'/>


offline usage

App that downloads the spots so you can use it offline. Ideally also the whole of hitchwiki, of course.
