Where's the issue in my theme?

[DIrgi]

Hi,
I have issues with my theme code and I don't know where the problem is.
Target is, displaying all tracks. belonging to highway, wich are allowed for motor vehicles, classified by grades.

This is what I see, when I check the object:

When I use the following code:

<m e="way">
	<m k="highway" v="track">
		<m k="motor_vehicle" v="yes">
			<m k="tracktype" v="grade1">
				<line use="track_grade1" />
				<text use="highway-track" />
			</m>
			<m k="tracktype" v="grade2>
				<line use="track_grade2" />
				<text use="highway-track" />
			</m> 
                        .....
                </m>
      </m>
</m>

I see absolutely nothing. When I request without "motor_vehicle" like this:

<m e="way">
	<m k="highway" v="track">
	      <m k="tracktype" v="grade1">
		      <line use="track_grade1" />
	              <text use="highway-track" />
	      </m>
             -----
             -----

then I see every (graded) track (this includes all tracks independent of "motor_vehicle" what I don't want to have)
Where the heck is the problem?
Can someone help me please?

Thank you

The tags that can be used in map themes must be included first in the map files.

The tags that are included in the map files are declared in the tag-mapping.xml.
e.g. track_type exists, motor_vehicle no

although it's not directly related but you as an Expert...before I got lost in the search again...
Is it possible to replace something?

i.e. v="test" replace by "new" ? and if? - How?
Thanks in advance

[devemux86]

when will be your next update run on the map?

Rebuilding all maps usually takes some time.

i.e. v="test" replace by "new" ? and if? - How?

What do you mean, use different values from the database?
The rules in themes use the values existing in the maps that come from the OSM database.

No worries, I just wanted to know when is normally your plan to renew the mapforges maps?
quarterly, half year, once a year - and when is your next run?

Replacement. OK - An example.
Let's say a track has a tracktype:-> "grade1"
When I tell the system please use tracktype as name to name a track (in the map) it will be named "grade1".
I want to know if I can replace the tracktype name "grade1" with i.e "g1" before I name (print out) the track in the map?

Like:
If tracktype is "grade1", replace the name by "g1" and show the track name as "g1" (and not as "grade1") in the map.

@DIrgi Do you mean customize the values to also use them as names?

Poi names come from the name / addr:housenumber / ele fields.
Way names come from the name / addr:housenumber / ref fields.

I don't remember if the tag-transform rule can be used for this.
(e.g. see the default theme at the top)

[DIrgi]

that was the keyword "tag-transform" I'll try, thank you

[devemux86]

I added the motor_vehicle in the tag-mapping, it will be included in the next map files:

• Tag mapping: add motor_vehicle mapsforge#1481
