[Dev] Feathercoin Open Merchant Map
-
wrapper, thanx for pushing my small project. Really appreciated ;)
I actually created the DEV post some time ago… but it lost interest
You can find it here:
https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/7359-dev-let-me-introduce-you-feathercoinmap/
it wasn’t pinned and so it got lost a little bit down there.
As for the time being I have a couple things on the todo list:
- updating the icons. The stock ones are simply ugly. Probably I’m going to need the help of iawgoM here…
- creating a static page with a thorough how-to on how to update the OSM map and how to setup a working instance of the dynamic map. As you said, that involves the use of cron scheduling or (at least) an init script to have the deamon running. I will try to put pictures to make it user friendly.
This is my las week to write the PhD thesis which I have to finish before friday. After that I will have WAAAY more time to devote to this and I will (hopefully) finalize the project.
Now that we have two threads, what do we do? Should we merge them?

Madooooo… I’m praying for you BRO, good luck
Anyway, FTCMap is a very important project…

Thx mate!
And yes… this is a very important project. I MUST get into it as soon as I can. Just on more week! Plus the “brain decompression” that will follow.

Good luck. :)

Nice , **FTCMap is a very important project. **I hope it can launch and run as officially web service. Google Map can not use in china.

Merge the threads, I’ll pin this one as well, if it goes down the list again.
I didn’t notice the other thread, and there are a lot of pined projects at the moment.
Some projects have just not got any priority or other things are happening, it is part of moderating [Dev] to keep boosting a bit of interest. Especially something that is basically operational, that members could help improve or deploy. Or everyone is busy in software releases or other projects.

Right I’m going to get this of the ground this week, and get the site up and running with some of the other merchant adoption I have been working on. I need a couple of simple wins to bring back my motivation.
So to start with voingiappone can you send me an address please would like to get you a beer for your efforts.

Uncle Muddy, I know how you feel. There is so much going on and too much to do. It will be more sustainable to gradually move along and not burn ourselves out trying to do everything at once.
This open source is a different concept, in business you can delegate responsibility. Here we need lots of small pushes in the right direction, which doesn’t give the same motivation as when you are doing big things.
-
When do launch it ?
-
Work has begun today ;)

Work has begun today ;)
Good news then!
As we move towards the implementation, can somebody with the super-powers combine the two existing threads? I mean, is it feasible to merge this thread at the bottom of this one? It would be nice to have it pinned to…
BTW I’ve made a couple of additions:
-
ultra user friendly howto for the venue addition
-
minor restyling to get rid of that big panel on the bottom left.
Already pushed the commits to Github.

I’ll pin this thread, sorry about mixing it up. I’ll update my test version as well later.

Damm I quite don’t understand the difference between feathercoin map and feathercoin open merchant map…
it is just update of previous project or completely separate one?
-
Do you mean the Feathercoin Map?. This is separate project to that.
https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zuZ9_Jqsx3-k.ktQvawTB0nVM
That map is Google related, whereas this Map is open source. This is also meant just to find Merchants.
Otherwise, Its my fault for any confusion on threads [Dev], (I set up an online instance.). I copied over the info from the other thread here and pinned this one.

Clear now, thank you.
I want to mention it in Newsletter #35 as this is another project of new team member…

Probably my ignorance about the “other” FeathercoinMap was another culprit! It lead me to carelessly duplicate the name of an already existing project. Sorry guys.
Anyway, we could still “join” the two projects. With the modularity of the new code and the endless tagging capabilities of OSM it will (should) be easy stuff. There’s also Lizhi always complaining that GoogleMaps cannot be used in China so, in the end, it could be something we’ll have to think about seriously. The question is “who’s goin’ to port all that stuff??!” ;D

Hi voingiappone, I’ve updated with my instance of Feathercoinmap with git pull and recompiled. There are 7 merchants on it now and I went through your tutorial, which also seemed to work OK for me.
I thought I only had 6 merchants on before, so I checked my chron job to refresh the list - which looks fine. I haven’t tested your help on the chron job yet, tho’. Bit busy, so just I’ll have to see if it finds the next Merchant, OK.
-
Unfortunately work has stopped again on this :(
There are now 7 merchants as I added the Oxford Blue to it the other day when I was testing the implementation I was planning to use for the production site…
My plan for this was to have it for bricks and mortar merchants, where you could go and spend your coins, the other map was to stay on the forum for members to be able to see others in their location etc…
I’ll try and get pen to paper with my plans over the weekend so everyone can see where I was planning on going, but RL is being a real pain in the backside at the moment :(

Thx for checking it out! Of course my cron job instructions are for those who cannot figure it out by themselves… but you don’t have this problem right? So you don’t need it.

I think this map may fit both functions. As it is written now it can only accept the FTC tag on the OSM but we could always add a new entry in the overpass field to look for the users. Somnething like FTC-user=yes. Then you’ll see the map with the ability to choose between what you want to see visualized and what you don’t need. Or we just could have two separated installations for the two different tasks! Just an idea…

Don’t worry. It seems like you’re in those periods where even the 100% of your time is not enough to get the things done. We also have a lot of projects going on with FTC right now, so we may also delay this a bit, no?
Take it easy ;D
