OpenStreetMap Addon
===
by Mike Macgirvin
Klaus Weidenbach
This addon allows you to use OpenStreetMap for displaying locations.
## Requirements
To use this addon you need a tile Server that provides the maps.
OpenStreetMap data is free for everyone to use. Their tile servers are not.
Please take a look at their "Tile Usage Policy":
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy
You can run your own tile server or choose one from their list of public
tile servers: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TMS
Support the OpenStreetMap community and share the load.
## Configuration
If you for any reason prefer to use a configuration file instead
of the admin panels, please refer to the Alternative Configuration below.
Activate the addon from your admin panel.
You can now add a Tile Server and default zoom level in the addon settings
2012-04-04 19:42:13 +02:00
page of your admin panel.
2012-04-04 19:42:13 +02:00
The Time Server URL points to the tile server you want to use. Use the full URL,
with protocol (http/s) and trailing slash. You can configure the default zoom
2012-04-04 19:42:13 +02:00
level on the map in the Default Zoom box. 1 will show the whole world and 18 is the highest
zoom level available.
## Alternative Configuration
Open the `config/local.config.php` file and add "openstreetmap" to the list of activated addons.
'system' => [
...
'addon' => '...,openstreetmap'
...
]
You can set configuration variables for the addon in the `config/addon.config.php` file:
'openstreetmap' => [
'tmsserver' => 'https://www.openstreetmap.org',
'nomserver' => 'https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search.php',
'zoom' => 16,
'marker' => 0,
],
The *tmsserver* points to the tile server you want to use. Use the full URL,
with protocol (http/s) and trailing slash. You can configure the default zoom
level on the map with *zoom*. 1 will show the whole world and 18 is the highest
zoom level available.
Please see provided `config/openstreetmap.php` file for explanation on the additional configuration keys.
