CSS classes for categories and locales
by Kake L Pugh 12 Mar '12

12 Mar '12

This came up on discussion over on openguides-oxford. We'd like to be able to put a distinctive style on pages for places that have now closed. Rather than hardcoding this for a "Closed" or "Now Closed" category, Dom and I thought a better solution would be to simply add classes for all categories and locales that a page is in. So for example, http://oxford.openguides.org/wiki/?The_Jam_Factory would have HTML: <div id="content" class="cat:baby_changing_facilities cat:free_wifi cat:pubs cat:restaurants cat:wifi loc:park_end_street loc:west_central"> rather than the simple <div id="content"> that's currently there. Thoughts? Objections? Kake

Maps update (was Re: [OpenGuides-Oxford] Usability/user-friendliness improvements)

Yep, though having talked briefly to Duncan Parkes a couple of days later, I think Leaflet may be less hassle to get up and running than I'd expected - he said that from the point he started looking at the documentation, it only took him about 10 minutes to get something working! So I'm going to look at that properly (at some point within the next week) before I make the final decision. I've cced this to openguides-dev as it's relevant to other guides too. Kake

Meetup in Oxford (UK) this Saturday
by Kake L Pugh 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Plans are firming up for my trip to Oxford! Original announcement is here: http://urchin.earth.li/pipermail/openguides-oxford/2012/000098.html but essentially I am spending a week in the city from this Friday, during which time Janet, Owen, and I will be updating and improving the data in the Oxford Guide. This Saturday lunchtime/afternoon (3 March), some of us will be gathering at the Jam Factory: http://oxford.openguides.org/wiki/?The_Jam_Factory to chat about the things we want to do with the Oxford Guide, and probably other OpenGuides-related things as well. If you're within reach of Oxford, why not come along? We'll be there from noon until at least 3pm (happy to commit to staying later if people want). The Jam Factory is very close to the railway station, it's child-friendly and has wheelchair access, and does food including vegetarian options. If you want my mobile number for co-ordinating on the day, just let me know offlist. Kake

OpenStreetMap tiles without pubs (etc) marked
by Kake L Pugh 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

So as I mentioned in the other thread, I have a new OpenGuides-based project in development. I would like to use OpenStreetMap tiles for this rather than the default Google Maps ones. I've got that part working thanks to this example: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Maps_Example but I would like to have the tiles _without_ the automatic addition of pub/restaurant/shop markers (like the ones shown here: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.204781&lon=0.128992&zoom=18 ). Does anyone happen to know if there's a way to do this? I'm hoping the answer is as simple as "use another tileserver, e.g. this one"... Kake

Re: [OGDev] OpenGuides-Dev Digest, Vol 75, Issue 3

Hi Kake I think that is a bit unfair Kake. Cityultima is also an open guide to London, and there are literally thousands of external relevant links on it Of course I would like a few links to some of my london relevant sites on the open guide to London, just like everyone else who has added london based links. I do think it is unfair for you to call it spam. But as i have suggested to Dominic before i joined the mailing list, I would be very sad to see such a pioneering site go into lock down. When we first started Cityultima which was around the same time as open guides , the small team we had shared the same ideals. A semantically based open guide that was all about the real london, and not the theaters and tourist attractions that are on the big commercial sites. I have also come to believe that the small grass roots community led sites have a much better chance of doing well against the big names such as londontown or visitlondon, if they work together. And in that regard as I already spend a little time each day approving edits on cityultima, was more than happy to approve edits on the london guide to keep it up and running. And there is most definately a need for it, as you have suggested. It isn't a fork for RLG but completely seperate format.
