Show map on main screen #71

Open xomnot opened 7 years ago

xomnot commented 7 years ago

Hi! I would like to show the map on main screen. I've been trying by copying php from map.php to index.php, but I get a blank map as you can see on the image.

I assume there is some js involved, but can't find it.

If you could help me to achieve this, that would be great image

Hi, @xomnot. Do you want to keep the "participate" and "see messages" buttons on the main page?

If not, there is another workaround, which is setting the start page in Wordpress settings (Settings>Reading) to the page showing the map (/vistas/localizaciones I think). Then you could change the home button in the bottom bar, making it link to the "participate" page. That button is easily modified by editing the footer.php file and changing this line

$lf_out .= "<li id='epi-home'><a href='" .WHATIF_BLOGURL. "'>" . __('Home page','whatif') . "</a></li>";

to something like

$lf_out .= "<li id='epi-home'><a href='" .WHATIF_BLOGURL. "/entrada-formulario/'>" . __('Participate','whatif') . "</a></li>";

If you want to keep the default home buttons, the way you showed... I'll have to take a more careful look into it, I haven't tried that before.

Hi!! Thanks a lot for your quick answer!

I think it would be great to have both views, but I like also what you have suggested.

And now that I'm thinking, maybe it is even easier to add some big buttons, and also the logo on the top of the "map page" by myself, and customize it.

Maybe it would be great if in the future you can find a way to embed the map on other pages, but do not hurry ;)

By the way, thanks a lot for this wonderful tool, I've been participating in a social mapping activity this weekend and as it was a success, I wanted to make an online version for our territory, and this tool really fits in! Thanks for your work!!

Thanks to you for your kind words! We are really glad to see that this tool is useful to others.

Please keep me updated on the map thing. I'll also look into it, as it's something we do find useful for certain projects. We have an ongoing discussion about the map being the main page or not.
