Issue Summary

I am a beginner of OpenLayers module.

Since I want to do a research about this module, I need to add a new type map of my country into this module.

Although I read a lot of materials about this module, I have no idea about adding a new map into it.

Cause I don't have any experience about developing a module.

Could anyone give me some suggestions or tips to solve this problem?

I am really confused about this!!

Thanks for helping!

Some basic information is in the documentation: http://drupal.org/node/1636666

Do you mean
* a map that focuses on a specific region, so that mainly your country is visible?
* a different background (base layer) on which your data is displayed?
* a set of points showing locations in your country?
or something different?

I mean that if I can add a new type of map into OpenLayers module as a base map (like OSM, Bing map...)

I want to add these map as basic layer:

1. http://maps.nlsc.gov.tw/

2. http://gissrv4.sinica.edu.tw/gis/twhgis.aspx

(or other official published map)

then I can use this module with our map in my drupal website more easily.

Since my English is limited, I am not sure if I express my meaning correctly.

There are some screenshots in comment 5.

I hope that it can help me express my meaning.

Sorry for my late reply.

Thank you so much for the response!!!

It looks like these are WMS layer that you can add through the OpenLayers UI.

See: http://maps.nlsc.gov.tw/O09/js/qt_map.js

There, I got it working: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7ugUjBv1lqHYXEzYkg2YXVFZHc/edit

Good luck.

Thanks for your response.

I have some problem about your comment.

"It looks like these are WMS layer that you can add through the OpenLayers UI."

Is there a "module" which called "OpenLayers UI"?

Or you mean that I can use OpenLayers module through its UI?

Sorry, I am really confused about this.

and may I e-mail you when I have questions about this?

Sorry for so many questions! Thank you in advance!

OpenLayers is composed of 3 modules.

  • OpenLayers: Core and API
  • OpenLayers UI: The User Interface and the forms
  • OpenLayers Views: All the views related stuff

You have to enabled OpenLayers and OpenLayers UI.

Then, in admin/structure/openlayers, you'll be able to add "layers", WMS type.

I hope it helps. bye.
