Bugfix for new OL 7.0.0, and other questions
to : Martin Holmes
Minutes: 105
GN reported that the latest OL breaks the use of custom controls and interactions
in our test data, and presumably in existing sites if they were ever updated. After
some research we discovered that ol.control.defaults is now ol.control.defaults.defaults,
and ditto for ol.interaction.defaults. After working on a lot of workarounds yesterday, to pin
the test build to a specific version, I’ve now reverted that work and just changed the test data in
the repo. All is now working. But why?
Then more discussion arising out of the Devilfish project. We discovered that a customized version of the BreezeMap JS was hard-coded into the project and was causing JS errors; showed GN how to override a method of a prototype to suppress its functionality without editing the original source or generating errors. Discussed the possibility of providing two different versions of a category image, one for the map and one for the popup category description box, but this seems pointless; CSS should be able to handle problems with transparency/bg colour etc.
