Disable user zooming/panning on a map

Hi @mistermagoo8691,

Is it possible to disable zooming/panning by the user?

Unfortunately this is not currently possible. I tried to come up with a work-around that I could provide, but ran into problems. Being able to “lock” a map is definitely on my to-do list.

when you click on a track, open the popup and then close it, it seems like your’re not able to open it anymore.

I believe this has already been fixed in the development release, do you see the same behaviour on this Map?

Cheers,

Joe

Ok, thanks!

Yes, exactly the same. In addition, on this map, when I click on the track for the first time, the maps moves a little bit but does not show any popup message. From second time on, when I click, nothing happens…
(both with Chrome and Edge).

Oh, I noticed something: when you click on the other map, it “resets” the other. I mean: I hover on the green map, I see the “Comox lake loop” message, I click… nothing happens. Hover/click again on the green one, nothing. Then I hover on the red, I see “Trent canyon loop”, I click, nothing… but now if I hover again on the green map, I see “Comox lake loop” again. Same behaviour both in Chrome and Edge ??

Bye!

Thanks for the extra detail. I have added some content to the Lines in the linked example so there is popup window content and I think I understand now…

If you close the Line popup (i.e. Type, Title, Image and Description info) you are not able to re-open it without first closing the elevation chart (either by closing it, or opening another). Do I have that right?

If so I will add it to the list of bugs!

Cheers,

Joe

Nono, forget about the elevation chart. On your example, you have 2 tracks. If I open & close the popup on track 1, I cannot re-open once more the popup on track 1 before opening and closing the popup on track 2 (and vice versa, of course). If I try re-opening the popup on the same track, I fail… until I don’t open/close the popup on the other track. It’s like opening a popup on a track “clears the bug” for the other track ??

See the screencast video I uploaded here, I think it is quite self-explanatory.

Bye!

Hi @mistermagoo8691,

Thanks for the video, that’s a big help… think we are on the same page ??

Please take a look at the same Map, except with elevation data removed.

When the elevation chart is “active” the Line changes appearance and that is causing this behaviour.

Did I get it this time?! :0)

Thanks again,

Joe

P.s. I have been giving some thought to adding the ability to disable/lock zooming/panning.

Wow @morehawes, without the elevation graph, it works like a charm!
Great job, thank you so much!… looking forward to seeing zoom/pan locked ??

Bye!

P.S. are you still living in that awesome tiny house? ??

Glad that sorted it! Live no, but it makes for a rather nice office ??

Cheers,

Hi Joe, I am looking forward to seeing the result of your thoughts ??

Is it hard to be done? Because I am managing to have more than one map in my pages, and when you “scroll down” the page with the mouse wheel, very often the mouse scrolling is intercepted by one of the maps => it zooms in unexpectedly…

Last: aren’t you accepting donations for this plugin? I wwould feel less uncomfortable asking for changes if I just paid at least some bucks :-)))

Yes this can be a bit annoying. Waymark does use a plugin to help with this, but I agree that this could be improved.

Getting feedback (including reviews!) is payment enough ??

Joe

Ok, so I am just left with the option of bothering you asking for news about the “disable zooming & panning” option that I am really longing to see ??

One small gift back: your “SHORTCODES” online documentation is missing the “show_elevation” option, please add it ?? Is there any other very interesting options like this one missing in the docs?

Bye!
A.-

your “SHORTCODES” online documentation is missing the “show_elevation” option

Added! ??

Joe, I’ve maybe found how to solve the “issue” with the mouse wheel that is scrolling the map as soon as you get close to it while scrolling down the page with your mouse wheel. Actually, I must amend my original request: this is the real issue I have. Honestly I don’t care if the users zoom in my “collection” maps, the point is that it is currently so easy to accidentally zoom into maps while scrolling the webpage with the mouse wheel. This is why I asked for a shortcode option to disable the scrolling: I did not think about any smarter and alternative solution… but there is one!

See here, the original poster had my same issue:
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/111887/leaflet-mouse-wheel-zoom-only-after-click-on-map

They are proposing several solutions, the one accepted starts with “It’s simple:” ??
(Yes, these are solutions proposed for those using Leaflet)
Basically, the solution is based on the fact that the zoom is enabled only after you CLICK on a map. That’s exactly what we need…

(Crossing fingers ??

@mistermagoo8691,

I have increased the Leaflet.Sleep wakeTime from 1 second to 2 seconds to improve this in the development branch.

Cheers,

Joe

Wow, it is better indeed! thanks once more Joe ??

@joe, I wanted to increase the waketime. Therefore I’ve searched through your files, I’ve found the “waketime = 2000” in the assets\dist\waymark-js\js\waymark-js.js file, I’ve changed the timeout to 20000, I deactivated & reactivated the plugin… but the timeout using the maps did not change at all (also after clearing the browser cache).

Is this black magic? ??
