viin_web_map Documentation
Overview
The viin_web_map module allows you to integrate interactive maps into your Odoo system. It provides functionality for displaying locations and routes directly on the map, making it ideal for location-based applications. The module allows you to configure and visualize both individual locations (using markers) and routes (using waypoints).
Key Features
- Location Display: Display location data using markers on the map.
- Route Visualization: Visualize routes between multiple waypoints.
- Customizable Popups: Customize the information shown in map marker popups.
- Google Directions: Optionally show directions using the Google Directions API.
- Automatic Polyline Generation: Polyline is automatically generated from waypoints if not explicitly defined.
- Flexible Configuration: Easily configure and extend the map to suit your needs.
Installation
Install the viin_web_map module via the Odoo Apps interface or using the following command:
odoo-bin -c <config_file> -i viin_web_map
Configure the Maps API key for one of the map service providers - Mapbox, Google, or HERE - if you want to use the location services provided by them.
Usage
Configuring the viin_map View
The viin_map view can be used to display locations or routes on the map. Below are examples of how to configure the view for different use cases.
### Displaying Location Data
To display locations as markers on the map, you can configure the viin_map view for a model like res.partner. The view will display each partner as a marker on the map with relevant information shown in a popup.
Example of a viin_map view displaying locations:
<record id="res_partner_view_map" model="ir.ui.view"> <field name="name">res.partner.view.map</field> <field name="model">res.partner</field> <field name="arch" type="xml"> <viin_map res_partner="id"> <marker-popup> <field name="name" string="Name"/> <field name="mapping_address" string="Address"/> </marker-popup> </viin_map> </field> </record>
Explanation: - res_partner="id": The map uses the id field from the res.partner model to locate the partner on the map. - marker-popup: Specifies the fields to show in the marker popup, in this case, the partner’s name and mapping_address.
### Displaying Routes
To display a route between multiple waypoints, you can configure the viin_map view with the routing="true" attribute. If the polyline field is not explicitly defined, it will be automatically generated from the waypoints.
Example of a viin_map view displaying a route:
<record id="view_route_route_map" model="ir.ui.view"> <field name="name">route.route.viin_map</field> <field name="model">route.route</field> <field name="arch" type="xml"> <viin_map res_partner="address_from_id" routing="true" waypoint_field="waypoint_ids" polyline_field="polyline"> <field name="waypoint_ids" /> <field name="polyline" /> <marker-popup> <field name="code" string="Ref."/> <field name="mapping_address" string="Instructions"/> </marker-popup> </viin_map> </field> </record>
Explanation: - routing="true": Enables the route functionality, allowing the map to display a route between multiple waypoints. - waypoint_field="waypoint_ids": Defines the field that holds the list of waypoints used to calculate the route. - polyline_field="polyline": Optional. If omitted, the polyline will be auto-generated from the waypoints. - field name="waypoint_ids": Displays all the waypoints on the map.
### Automatically Generating Polyline from Waypoints
When you configure a route with waypoints but do not specify a polyline field, the polyline is automatically generated based on the coordinates of the defined waypoints. This allows you to visualize the route without manually defining the polyline.
Example:
<record id="view_route_route_map_auto_polyline" model="ir.ui.view"> <field name="name">route.route.viin_map.auto_polyline</field> <field name="model">route.route</field> <field name="arch" type="xml"> <viin_map res_partner="address_from_id" routing="true" waypoint_field="waypoint_ids"> <field name="waypoint_ids" /> <marker-popup> <field name="code" string="Ref."/> <field name="mapping_address" string="Instructions"/> </marker-popup> </viin_map> </field> </record>
### Required Fields for Routing
When using routing="true", the following fields are required: - waypoint_field: Defines the waypoints for the route. - res_partner: Always mandatory in all viin_map views.
If polyline_field is not specified, it is automatically generated from the waypoints.
Error Handling
Ensure all required fields are defined in the viin_map view. Missing required fields, such as waypoint_field, will result in validation errors.
Customizing the Map View
You can customize the map by adding or modifying fields in the marker-popup or by introducing additional attributes to the viin_map tag.
Example of a custom map view:
<record id="view_custom_route_map" model="ir.ui.view"> <field name="name">route.route.custom_map</field> <field name="model">route.route</field> <field name="arch" type="xml"> <viin_map res_partner="address_from_id" routing="true" waypoint_field="waypoint_ids"> <field name="waypoint_ids" /> <field name="custom_field" string="Custom Info"/> <marker-popup> <field name="code" string="Ref."/> <field name="mapping_address" string="Instructions"/> <field name="custom_field" string="Additional Information"/> </marker-popup> </viin_map> </field> </record>
