Implement Kartographer customization to match Wikivoyage existing map
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Context
We need to simplify community's migration from the current wmflabs-hosted maps implementation to <mapframe>. For that, we should provide something similar to how it looks now, with similar behavior, using common.js and other similar mechanisms Mediawiki:Kartographer.{js,css} (since T133954).

Example
https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Salzburg#Get_around

EDIT 5/13/16: ( T132971#2294638 )
I created a github repository to share the prototype I have been working on:
https://github.com/juliengirault/wikivoyage-maps

EDIT 5/17/16: ( T132971#2302760 )
The prototype was deployed to English Wikivoyage this morning (.js, .css). See the Travellers' pub announcement.

Event Timeline

I created a github repository to share the prototype I have been working on:

https://github.com/juliengirault/wikivoyage-maps

Follow the README to install and generate the two files.
Then create Mediawiki:Kartographer.js and Mediawiki:Kartographer.css on your wiki and you should see the prototype.

Exciting news: the prototype was deployed to English Wikivoyage this morning, using MediaWiki:Kartographer.js and MediaWiki:Kartographer.css.

@Yurik made a public announcement in the Travellers' pub. We hope to collect the first feedback and start tracking and fixing bugs.

First draft of the new Wikivoyage page is ready. The style of the boxes needs to be changed / moved into the CSS (otherwise it stays as blue, which is hard to see) -- I think it should be added to the Kartographer.css page: https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/User:Yurik/Sandbox/Salzburg

Yurik renamed this task from Prototype <mapframe> to match Wikivoyage existing map to Implement Kartographer customization to match Wikivoyage existing map.May 27 2016, 9:54 PM
Yurik moved this task from Backlog to In progress on the Maps-Sprint board.

@Yurik shall we consider this one resolved? what about the 2 sub-tasks?
Edit: I saw they are marked "in progress" :)

@JGirault yep, lets close it, and make the other two patches depend on T134086
