Extension talk:Semantic Layers

Hi, excellent extension. But i would like to know how add google maps layer, i tried on layers.js file but i don't know exactly the data to be added. I have some Images that i would like to add as layers, in top of google maps with opacity effect. In open layers we have an opacity button to control it. How enable this? How to make my Image as layer? and how to add the correct position of this image on globe map? Lleoliveirabr 01:06, 1 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello! This should be possible, but perhaps not just yet. For the code to add to Layers.js (you've got the right idea), have a look at the source of http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/google.html . However, the trick is, for it to work, somehow a separate script tag with the Google maps script URL and your "key" has to be inserted. If you can find another mechanism to do that, it should work. I do plan to make this easier in a later version, by including a parameter somewhere to specify your key, and it will do the rest for you. Matt 12:56, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The image layers in top of google maps with opacity effect option will be great. Hope this will be possible soon.
 * I don't know if it's already possible to make many images as one layer. Is it possible?

Semantic Forms Extension
I think Semantic Forms extension could have an option to show a map with a placemark to move in the map showing the exacly coordinate of a place. Or add a coordinate and see the location on the map. This for fields with type:coordinate and relation:Uses coordinate attribute. Lleoliveirabr 01:19, 1 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I have been talking back and forth with Yaron Koren about my extension while it's been in development, and we have had something like this in mind the whole time. I use SF and think it's great. Looking forward to integrating these two extensions, if that's what the community wants, at least. Matt 12:56, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Export the ask results as KML
I think if we could export the ask results in kml, will be great. What do you think? Lleoliveirabr 00:52, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

How to specify custom icon for each article
I read the documentation but didn't discover how to specify custom icon to an article. Maybe is my bad English. Lleoliveirabr 00:52, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Maybe a bug
I think i found a bug, i added in ask population:* and appear placemarks "articles" that doesn't have coordinates attribute. I think only should appear placemarks of articles that have coordinate attribute. Lleoliveirabr 00:52, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
