Google Summer of Code 2007

Joomla! - Mickael MAISON - Geo Component

Progress of the 4th week: 24^th of June

Eclipse configuration:

Thanks to the people connected on #soc, I configure Eclipse to improve my coding condition. I have a good knowledge of Eclipse (tool I use at work) but it’s the first time I use it for PHP. I still have to look a bit at the filters but I already facilitate my work a lot!

Admin Panel and database:

The configurations of the administration panel are now stored in the database. I still have to implement the save method.

I started to implement a system to configure the mapping libraries from the admin panel. For the moment, the system is based on javascript.

Mapping libraries

I started to think at the interface plug ins will provide to enable to geotagging. As requested in the topic of my project on Joomla’s forum, I’m look at ways to enable geotagging using polygons and tracks.

Planning for the next 2 weeks:

Admin panel:

- Implement the saving method and the other buttons of the toolbar

- Continue the configuration of the libraries

Mapping libs:

- Create a test plug in with displaying a map (Google Maps for example) and show it in the profile page.
