Hi devs,
We have a MapMacro already [1], for displaying Google Maps. I'd like to create
a distinct one for creating maps based on OpenStreetMap. Another option would
be to enhance the existing MapMacro for supporting the display of OSM maps in
addition, but this would make the code more complex, and in general an
administrator willing to use maps in his wiki is likely to opt for one map
type, probably not both, what do you think?
Since this is not a large “component”, I think my preferences goes to a single
{{map}} macro, with a “provider” parameter (provider=“google”, “openstreetmap”,
“apple”, etc) and possibly aliases such as {{googlemap}} {{openstreetmap}}
which would simply be shortcuts for {{map provider=“google”}} and {{map
provider=“openstreetmap”}}.
I think it would make it simpler from a user POV. I’d prefer to have one
recommended map macro that we try to support instead of a myriad of smaller map
macros that would not be recommended and at various levels of support.
It makes sense indeed :-)
Thanks for your feedback
I'll push an updated MapMacro asap
Cheers
Stéphane
WDYT?
Thanks

If you agree, the proposed repo name and JIRA would be:
- Repo: macro-openstreetmap
- JIRA project: OSM

Thank you,
