Controls and Panels

Overview – OpenLayers Architect recent progress – Implemented control / panel integration
One of the biggest problems I encountered while working on the controls was that some controls belong to panels and some are independent.  My first step was to determine what controls would not go inside a panel (for example, the overview map).  I stored [...]

OLArchitect Theme Concept

I’m going to discuss briefly my thoughts on OLArchitect’s Theme / CSS system.  I have not yet finished the control and panel configuration completely (but I have finished the configuration of all the basic controls), but I am far exceeding my expectations so far.  My current progress occasionally encourages me to consider how I am [...]

GSoC Midterm Update – On to controls!

OLArchitect’s layer list configuration is just about complete.  Apart from stylistic issues, it has about all the functionality I want at this point.  I’m happy with my progress thusfar, and although I have a lot of work left to do, the ground work for everything is in place and I expect to stay on track [...]

Coding Updates, Use of Eval and Other Mistakes

I’ve finally almost completed the way layer lists work.  The backend is completely done, and the front end is nearly finished also.  Sorting columns works (implementing MooTools), as does saving and editing a created layer.  It took me a while to figure out how to get the sortables working with the dynamically created layers, but [...]

Dynamic Sortable Lists on Event Creation

It took me a while to figure out how to get the sortables working with the dynamically created layers, but it turned out to not be as big of a problem as I expected.  My problem was that a list needed to have items added to it after two events that depended on each other [...]

OLArchitect’s Layer List

I’ve deviated a bit from my original project plan, but with good purpose.  My initial goal was to code draggable and resizeable boxes, but I’ve shifted my focus to working on layer configuration.  I had originally planned to focus on layer configuration a bit later as I thought it would give me the most problems, [...]

OLArchitect Mockup

This is my first real update that has substance. I’m excited. I haven’t spent nearly as much time as I’ve wanted to on the project the last couple weeks, but I’m finally getting everything off the ground.  Yesterday I helped a friend with a project he was working on and I reached a mini enlightenment [...]

The time is neigh!

I’ve made a lot of progress abstracting out OL Architect and I’ve come up with a more extensive and detailed roadmap.  After seeing how incredibly useful OLON will be, I’ve revised my original plan a bit to incorporate it and updated some of the project’s goals.
My original plan was the following:

Project Roadmap
Step 1. Collect Underpants
Step [...]

GSoC 2008 Update

It’s almost time to begin coding!    I’ve spent a bit of time using OLON (Open Layers Object Notation) and I like it – I’ll be using it for OL Architect. I have a very good idea of exactly what the site will look like and how everything will be laid out – if [...]

Application accepted!

Well, I got into GSoC so I might as well start updating this .  I’ll be working on a web app that will generate OpenLayer maps on the fly based on user specifications.  I plan to start coding in a couple weeks, but first I plan to decide exactly how I am going [...]
