A map filled with people being involved in Oxid development. Hosted on GitHub, which allows everyone to add their map entries. ♥ Join us!
👉 https://friendsofoxid.github.io/community-map/
The screenshot above shows what user entries look like. You’ll even get your own URL for your entry, which is awesome! Look, this is a link to Rüdiger.
You can add your marker to the map and manage your data by yourself. Learn about three ways how to manage your entry! 🚀
The map is for any person being involved in Oxid: developers, users, editors, writers, designers, translators, friends and family et al. It’s about visualizing the Oxid community. If you use or support Oxid, the map is for you!
No big deal: GitHub allows to generate static websites out of repositories. They make use of Jekyll, a ruby based generator. Jekyll comes with Liquid templates, which helped us to inject all our map entries within a JSON at the bottom of the HTML. JavaScript grabs the data and starts a nice Leaflet map with beautiful tiles provided by CARTO.
—Well, that’s it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sure, it’s open source! However, we don’t provide a release or some setup script. We’d recommend you to download the repo as zip file instead and make it run on your local machine first (see SETUP.md for instructions). Afterwards you’ll need to replace some Oxid or REDAXO content with your community content, empty the _directory/data folder and start over with a shiny fresh map.
In case you struggle, we’d love to help! 🙋♂️
Also if your map is live we’d be grateful to receive a quick note from you: friendsof [at] redaxo.org. Thanks!
See SETUP.md for instructions.
Many thanks to the REDAXO community for supporting us with this great piece of software!
You should join their Slack chat. It’s full of nice REDAXO people! ✌️
