| [06:59:26] | <skipper_is[m]> | I wonder whether this would be usable with the area geom tool https://openlayers.org/en/latest/apidoc/module-ol_interaction_Snap-Snap.... |
| [06:59:41] | <skipper_is[m]> | I guess it'd have to go through geofield |
| [07:34:54] | <mstenta[m]> | @skipper_is:matrix.org: maybe! We're actually in the process of rewriting some of the Openlayers code in farmOS |
| [07:35:03] | <mstenta[m]> | So it's a good time to consider! |
| [07:35:40] | <mstenta[m]> | Can you add a feature request to https://GitHub.com/farmOS/farmOS-map |
| [07:35:47] | <mstenta[m]> | That's the new mapping library repo |
| [07:36:15] | <mstenta[m]> | Not used in farmOS yet, but the goal is to make a common library that can be used in both farmOS and field kit |
| [07:44:48] | <mstenta[m]> | Saw the issue you made, thanks! |
| [07:45:11] | <mstenta[m]> | We still need to implement the drawing tools in the new library, so that will be a good time to consider this as well |
| [07:46:06] | <skipper_is[m]> | Yea. It'd be really helpful when drawing out fields, to ensure they share the same border, and aren't overlapping etc |
| [07:46:27] | <skipper_is[m]> | At the moment I'm doing my fields in QGIS, and copying in the WKT |
| [07:47:57] | <skipper_is[m]> | Oo, ability to add in extra basemaps would be really nice.. |
| [07:48:25] | <mstenta[m]> | Agreed |
| [07:48:50] | <mstenta[m]> | Oh yea adding base maps is possible already |
| [07:48:54] | <mstenta[m]> | Just requires some module programming |
| [07:49:01] | <skipper_is[m]> | Yea |
| [07:49:04] | <skipper_is[m]> | and an WMS server.. |
| [07:49:18] | <mstenta[m]> | Ah yes we don't do any hosting ourselves yet |
| [07:49:20] | <mstenta[m]> | In farmOS |
| [07:49:46] | <mstenta[m]> | farmOS relies on that being provided by others |
| [07:49:50] | <skipper_is[m]> | I've been using QGIS Server for that, I was trying tileserver-php, but couldn't get it to work |
| [07:50:15] | <mstenta[m]> | But yea: I'd love to make it easier to add base layers in the new lib |
| [07:50:33] | <mstenta[m]> | Mm ok I've never played around with hosting tiles myself |
| [07:50:52] | <mstenta[m]> | There are two open source servers I'm aware of |
| [07:51:43] | <skipper_is[m]> | I've used Geoserver before, but it was quite resource intensive |
| [07:52:01] | <mstenta[m]> | Geoserver and mapserver |
| [07:52:03] | <mstenta[m]> | Ah ok |
| [07:52:18] | <skipper_is[m]> | Yea, mapserver is a bit lighter on the load, but more complex to get your head around |
| [07:52:28] | <mstenta[m]> | http://geoserver.org/ |
| [07:52:46] | <mstenta[m]> | https://www.mapserver.org/ |
| [07:53:05] | <skipper_is[m]> | qgis server is based on mapserver, but it takes qgis project files as the .map files, so it is really easy to set up |
| [07:53:16] | <mstenta[m]> | Oh ok |
| [07:53:33] | <skipper_is[m]> | I've added a request for WMS layers as well |
| [07:53:38] | <mstenta[m]> | Great! |
| [07:53:59] | <skipper_is[m]> | ..Need to teach myself javascript now, and try and see if I can implement any of that! |
| [07:54:14] | <mstenta[m]> | I'll comment on it later this morning... Getting the kids together for the day here now :-) |
