Add option to disable images in browse.kml.php #10

Closed ebellempire closed 10 years ago

ebellempire commented 11 years ago

This adds an option to disable images in the item-bubble/KML file.

I have a project where we'll be populating a large map with a few hundred items and would like to keep the size of that request as small as possible.

_(This project will ultimately entail disabling/bypassing the MAX_LOCATIONS_PERPAGE settings, but that's another issue – one that I haven't really looked at yet)

Interesting....we'd already packaged up the zips for today's release when this pull request came in. I'll be interested to see where that project takes things.

Hey Patrick,

Where it ultimately ends up is basically this: clevelandhistorical.org (which is about to be redesigned)

The next iteration of that site/design (which is part of the larger Curatescape mobile app project) is somewhat different. We'll be adding a large map to all browse and show pages and – hopefully – extending it to allow for maps of Tours (multi-item entities, sort of like Exhibits).

Right now, we use a hacked version of the pre-2.0 plugin, but moving forward I'm attempting to keep things as stock as possible.

So that's the background for the pull request. Let me know if you have questions, concerns or ideas.

UPDATE: For what it's worth, I decided to bypass the Geolocation plugin on the front-end and pull the data from a custom JSON source (CPHDH/plugin-MobileJson), doing the map scripting at the theme level. So I don't personally need this option anymore but it may still be worth considering on its own merits.
