Home - Map

1. Homepage map Prototype is here: http://robertocarroll.com/icc-beta/map-new/

• Is this OK to be JSON?
• Lots more to be done here.

I made a new prototype for the home map: http://robertocarroll.com/icc-beta/map-v3/

• Exploring use of D3.
• The map itself does not have much content, rather it is a way to different situations.
• On mobile devices it would just show the list, i.e. no map.
• On other devices it would scale (not yet implemented).
• On IE8 and under it would be a static image.

I think this prototype and the existing one cover the approaches. What do you think?

The latest version of the home layout map is here: http://robertocarroll.com/icc-beta/map-v3/

Features:

1. Scaling to browser width
2. Loads active countries via csv - suggest linking this up with Sharepoint so the map can be easily editable.
3. Hovers for country names
4. Click on country will go to situation
5. Links are also listed below as part of the key. On small devices the map is hidden and only the links are visible. Can these links be generated from the same source as the active countries above to avoid duplication of effort?

To do / discuss

1. Styles and placement - I think it could look good at 100% width on the home layout
2. Touch devices, e.g. what to do about the hover
3. =< IE8 - SVG not supported. Show png or just show links? I think just show links.
4. Testing

Thoughts, feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Updating the issue with e-mail sent by Rob on 5th January:

Hi, I forgot to mention the home layout map which needs to replace the current home layout map: http://robertocarroll.com/icc-beta/map-v3/ https://github.com/robertocarroll/icc-beta/issues/24 https://github.com/robertocarroll/icc-beta/tree/gh-pages/map-v3 You can see it pulls in a csv of active countries in this format: https://github.com/robertocarroll/icc-beta/blob/gh-pages/map-v3/data/active.csv which should be quite straightforward to link up so that it can come from Sharepoint. It would also be great if the list of countries below the map could also come from the same data, so that Armin only has to update it once and it takes care of everything.
