Create a mockup for the custom TOC

Closed this issue · 5 comments

We need to create some mockups for the customization of the TOC to propose to the customer

Idea is to prepare some draft image to discuss internally (about the feasibility/complexity to use in MapStore) and then to share with the customer.
I have created 2 mockups to discuss internally:

  • it provides only a hierarchical level. Each group at the first level can contains levels in a grid 3 rows x N cols. Levels are shown as a square images (thumbnail). The image mockup is available here
  • it provides a complete organization of groups and levels with not hierarchical levels limitations. Each group can contains both levels and groups. A Group inside another group is shown as a square with just his name (no thumbnail necessary). When the users navigate in a group inside another group the header (rectangular) section of the group contains a navigation breadcrump (to be able to change the current group visualization and move to another group in the hierarchy. The image mockup is available here

We want to mantain all the current properties of the TOC and change just the GUI.
I think the only new property to manage is the thumbnail URL for the layers.

@allyoucanmap can you take a quick look at the 2 mockups made?
I think the second one is more compatible with the actual configuration (json) of the TOC.

We will proceed with the simple solution (just one level group of the hierarchy).

@chpicone the first option is the best one for this in my opinion. We shouldn't make complicated things considering the original requirement: if you want a more hierarchical TOC you have to use the current one (organized as a tree). Anyway, we should send an email to the client to share the solution we have in mind and wait at lease two days before starting the development :)

@tdipisa I agree with you. I'll write an email to the customer with our proposal and remember him to provide us material for the theme.
