Hello, I''m a user of mapstraction and I''m having some issues. The provider is openlayers. I have to follow the positions of a fleet of vehicles, which have to be updated in "realtime". I start by placing my set of markers (with icons) at arbitrary position and I set up a "timer" with setInterval which regularly modifies the location attribute of the marker (with data obtained by AJAX/JSON). I delete all the markers and re-add them, be it one by one or all at the same time. The markers are well placed at the new location but at the former place of the markers, the icons still remain. The autoCenterAndZoom function works well on the new locations, it seems that only the drawings (not the markers themselves) remain at the former locations. How can I erase the traces of the old locations ? Thank you for your help. Regards Nicolas CARRIER PS : Please be keen about language, I''m french. And don''t hesitate to correct my mistakes. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi Nicolas,
I think there may be a problem with the implementation of removeMarker in
mxn.openlayers.js. If the following code works for you, let me know and
I''ll
submit the fix in the Git repository:
removeMarker: function(marker) {
var map = this.maps[this.api];
this.layers.markers.removeMarker(marker.proprietary_marker);
marker.proprietary_marker.destroy();
},

Hello,
I''ve tried the piece of code you sent me, but I had to add a
this.layers.markers.redraw();
to have it work. It seems that the marker is well destroyed and removed but
that the drawing remains.
So the entire piece of code I replaced removeMarker by is :
removeMarker: function(marker) {
var map = this.maps[this.api];
this.layers.markers.removeMarker(marker.proprietary_marker);
marker.proprietary_marker.destroy();
this.layers.markers.redraw();
},
Thanks a lot for your help.
Regards,
Nicolas.

Hello,
This would be better I think :
removeMarker: function(marker) {
var map = this.maps[this.api];
marker.hide();
this.layers.markers.removeMarker(marker.proprietary_marker);
marker.proprietary_marker.destroy();
},
As it only hides the marker before destroying instead of redrawing the
entire map.
Regards,
Nicolas.

Okay, that works for me. I noticed the relic map variable isn''t even
used,
so I''ll submit this:
removeMarker: function(marker) {
marker.hide();
this.layers.markers.removeMarker(marker.proprietary_marker);
marker.proprietary_marker.destroy();
},

OK great ! But I don''t really know how the development of an open source project works so when will it be released and available for download at the mapstraction website ? I''d rather use the stable released version in the production site than use a version I manually modified.

The process of getting code into a new release is still being fleshed out ( http://wiki.github.com/mapstraction/mxn/contributing), but it looks like it will boil down to the project committers accepting a pull request on github. I''ve submitted the code we agreed on for removeMarker this way, so hopefully it will be in the next release. There was a thread a while back discussing the implications of using the hosted versions of the openlayers scripts as my infobubble implementation does: http://lists.mapstraction.com/htdig.cgi/mapstraction-mapstraction.com/2010-May/000826.html Ultimately, if a few of us ask for code to be included without any objections from others, I imagine it will be. Feel free to coordinate off the list with me if you''d like to work on the infobubble feature together. -dylan- On Tue, Aug 31, 2010 at 1:27 AM, Nicolas CARRIER <carrier.nicolas0 at gmail.com> wrote:> OK great ! > > But I don''t really know how the development of an open source project works > so when will it be released and available for download at the mapstraction > website ?

very nice, thanks for making this clear and putting it in one place. i look forward to a wave of contributions from all.
