- Improve openlayers_services and use JS instead of iframe. Not yet done
Things done in OL 3.x
- People contributing ! Currently: 4 Want to join ?
- Use render arrays: DONE
- Use 'openlayers' element in forms (for input and output): DONE
- Better split between CTools plugins and CTools exportables: DONE
- Restore behaviors for things like ol.Graticule etc etc DONE
- Handle source attributions DONE
- Use PSR-4 class naming. DONE
- Geofield integration. DONE
- Create openlayers_spin submodule to display a spin before displaying the map. See Spin.js. DONE
- Use views_geojson for Views(vector) based layers: DONE
Current contrib dependencies
- libraries
- ctools
- registry_autoload
- service_container (/!\ You need PHP >= 5.3.10)
- jquery_update
- geocoder
The source code has been published the 12 Septembre, 9 days after initial development and its available through git, checkout branch 7.x-3.x or use Github.
Github is the best way for collaborating. Prefer it to the standard Drupal issue queue.
Want to talk about it, chat on IRC: #drupal-geo on freenode!

Welcome back!
Hi Pol,
This is great news!
The more maps, the better I say.
Like you recently, I don't have the bandwidth to help out much right now. But I'll be following developments closely.
Welcome back!

Trouble installing open layer
Hi Pol and all,
I have installed this version of open layer on drupal 7.39 as instructed here
https://groups.drupal.org/node/440733
Openlayers library was not found. To install it, download it manually or use drush dl-openlayers. The library directory must be named openlayers3 to be recognized by this module.
sites/all/modules/openlayer3
5. when i shift this in
sites/all/libraries/openlayer3
5. Installed drupal doesnt link to this openlayer
Would be eagerly waiting you input on this

Hi, You shouldn't rename the
Hi,
You shouldn't rename the module directory.
The module is usually installed in sites/all/modules/openlayers and the library in sites/all/libraries/openlayers3
If you don't want to install the library, you can also use the module Libraries CDN API, and you'll be able to use a CDN version of the Openlayers library without downloading anything.
Please, use the issue queue next time.
Good luck.

installation of Libraries CDN API
Hello Pol,
i have decide to make a fresh installation so that i can just use the suggested module Libraries CDN API
.
1. After i have installed drupal
2. installed Libraries CDN API = see this
-------------------------------------------------
Provides a unified API to connect to a CDN like CDNJS or jsDelivr.
Version: 7.x-1.7
Requires: Registry Autoload (enabled), Service Container (enabled), Chaos tools (enabled), Symfony's Services Container (enabled), Services Container Annotation Discovery (enabled)
------------------------------------------------------
3. When i switch to the installed openlayer it doesnt see this module libraries. see the result below
---------------------------------------------------------
Openlayers base API module
Version: 7.x-3.0-beta3
Requires: Libraries (missing), File (enabled), Field (enabled), Field SQL storage (enabled), Image (enabled), Service Container (enabled), Chaos tools (enabled), Registry Autoload (enabled), Symfony's Services Container (enabled), Services Container Annotation Discovery (enabled), jQuery Update (enabled)

Why should this happen.
Would be eager to hear from you

development version of open layer
who could be having a development version of open layer that i can use for this installation
check your libraries folder
check your libraries folder name, is not openlayer3 but openlayers3 you may be missing the "s"
openlayers3 corrected
Hi Ceaucari ,
Thank you for this point out.I have rectified this problem.
I think there is something that am not comfortable with that file structure.
My Libraries can not still connect with open layers.
Initially i was advised by Mr pol that the structure should be as follow
The open layer module is usually installed in sites/all/modules/openlayers and the library in sites/all/libraries/openlayers3
for my case now i can see the following after the auto-installation
for open layer i can locate it here
/public_html/sites/all/modules/openlayers3
the libraries are located here
/public_html/sites/all/modules/libraries_cdn
note that this library can not connect to open layer on the administration / module as you can see below on the open layer
Openlayers base API module
Version: 7.x-3.0-beta3
Requires: Libraries (missing), File (enabled), Field (enabled), Field SQL storage (enabled), Image (enabled), Service Container (enabled), Chaos tools (enabled), Registry Autoload (enabled), Symfony's Services Container (enabled), Services Container Annotation Discovery (enabled), jQuery Update (enabled)
Required by: OpenLayers Block (disabled), OpenLayers Block Switcher (disabled), OpenLayers UI (disabled), OpenLayers Contextual Links (disabled), OpenLayers Geofield (disabled), OpenLayers Examples (disabled), OpenLayers Views (disabled)
where am i going wrong ?

library works with open layer now
Hi,
Some how it works now after an installation of this module "libraries" called (libraries-7.x-2.2.tar)
but have also replace the version of open layer from openlayers-7.x-3.0-beta3.tar to this openlayers-7.x-2.x-dev.tar
They seem to see each other both the libraries and open layer
I would like to see what other people have done with this openlayer for drupal.

OpenLayers 3 in Drupal 7
hello Pol
I try to meet you at Drupal Camp Montpellier in May 2014. But I was informed that you were not there.
The OL3 version is it available on Drupal 7? I tried to install the Openlayers module, but I still have version 2.13. Is there a source where you must point to install the OL3 library?
Thank you
Hello, You can only download
Hello,
You can only download it through git for the moment.
I hope to provide an alpha release in one or two months.
Thanks.

Thanks Adam,
Actually I'm looking for people to test and give me ideas to improve the module.
I've setup a test site to try and show off new features.
Right now, I'm a bit stuck with this bug, I hope to find a solution soon, you may start there if you want to help, it's greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Played something with the new
Played something with the new module and it works but if i remove a map i need to reinstall the module like special chars issue. What not have yet done is the Views GeoJSON feature. With old OpenLayers 2 it worked fine but with 3.1.x latest release i see no overlay data.
I like the new UI it looks very slick and more flexible than OpenLayers 2.x module. I hope you keep the module slick.
I will check later if the module is compatible to the OpenLayers Mapfish Print https://www.drupal.org/project/openlayers_print module.
Then i receive an Ajax Error if i want choose the for Geofield a Display Widget.
Thank you for you work. I
Thank you for you work. I will help testing.
PostGIS module
Hello,
I've tried to get the PostGIS module working with the OpenLayers3 module.
Editing the postgis.field.widget.inc file is quite easy to obtain the possibility to select the map to use and obtain the OpenLayers widget to show the map when inserting a content type with a PostGIS field.
When I try to add the Draw interaction to the map from the OpenLayers 3 module the map is not shown (no error in Javascript console and apache).
Is actually this interaction working?
Thanks.
There's still a lot of work
There's still a lot of work to be done and I don't think that widget and stuff are yet working.

OpenLayers Examples module
You have to set the Services module like a dependency for OpenLayers Examples module.
If you enable OpenLayers Examples without Services you got apache error
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function services_endpoint_load_all()

Hi,
i am using it on a testsystem, but i think it is stable enough for a productive system.
OL 3 is the recommended version
Openlayers-7.x-3.0-beta 1 is set as the recommended version, so anybody who uses drush is getting that version by default.
So obviously people will think that it's ready for production. Why else would have somebody swapped the recommended version from 2 to 3?
Having said that, the fact that there is no documentation at all for 3, while configuration is clearly different then in 2, makes it rather unusable for site builders at the moment.
I'm happy to work on some documentation if somebody can explain the differences. e

Hello ifrik, You're right.
Hello ifrik,
You're right. There is no documentation yet and 3.x is the default version because it is ready for production. There are still some bugs, but it's better than 2.x.
Try the module and let me know what you think.

Ready for mobile?
Hi Pol and all,
How do you rate the performance of the latest OpenLayers on mobile?
How much/little javascript and other files are downloaded and is it nice and snappy to use?
How does it compare to Google, Leaflet?
Very interested in hearing from anyone with any experience in this, whether subjective or objective (e.g. A/B test results)

Never Could Get To Work :(
After many cycles of installing and reinstalling I finally got all the jQuery versions and modules lined up to actually USE the OL3 interface. However after weeks of trying, following videos and tutorial posts and whether using data layers or GeoJSN feeds I have yet to create 1 useful map. Every resource that is available to review that actually works is for OL2 and anything I did find on OL3 was essentially steps to 'trick' it into working, or the videos are not English. I've also seen some instances where tutorials get it to work but by using blocks, which I refuse to use. I'd rather use Panels and Content Panes.
Major kudos for those who give their efforts to this project, but for anyone else looking into this - as of this post - I find OL3 to be an incredibly heavy module that is effectively useless at the moment costing weeks of real time to determine.
I'm eager to see how this project evolves and want to adopt it, but if it helps anyone, I found an acceptable solution for my applications with this module https://www.drupal.org/project/ip_geoloc. Super simple, way less overhead and more importantly it just works! No, it doesn't do the switching of layers, but then again for me at least, neither did OL3 :|
