### CGI requirement when using \[\[\!waypoint\]\] on pages?
Most of the osm plugin works well without cgi. The link from waypoints however use ikiwiki.cgi, at least in my configuration. Is this actually required or is it possible to use a pre rendered page to avoid running cgi on the server?
At the moment I'd prefer not running cgi and one of the advantages of a wiki compiler is that you could run without cgi on the server.
This is a minor issue but I'd be interested if you think it's possible to prerender waypoint maps. I.e maps that center on a specific waypoint whilst having all waypoints of that map visible.
> I think it would be possible, but it would require a patch. I do think however that this is the way it works: all waypoints are shown, and the only difference is that the map is centered. --[[anarcat]]
Setting the default `osm_tag_default_icon` does not seem to work? All tagged waypoint pages now want their own unique icon and display broken image if not present. Populating the tag folder with identical icons gets a bit much when there are a lot of tags.
### \[Wishlist\] Setting unigue icon for "active waypoint"
For usability it would be great if it was possible to display the active waypoint with a different icon. So that clicking a waypoint map symbol takes you to a map with lots of waypoints but the waypoint from the sources page is centered (as per current behaviour) **and** has a different icon.
[[schmonz]] here. I recently tried to use this plugin, had some trouble, and discovered on IRC that [[users/Tincho]] has a largely [rewritten version](https://blog.tincho.org/posts/OSM_in_IkiWiki/) that looks good [on his site](https://blog.tincho.org/Mingle/), but hadn't gotten around to submitting for merge. So we remote-paired on it today, improved a few things, and wrote down what we noticed:
- Given this is backward-incompatible, dhould we call it something other than "osm"?
- What needs scrubbing? Have we covered all the bases? Too many bases?
- Should we vendor Leaflet into an underlay, instead of needing a URL to load it from a CDN? [[schmonz]] somewhat prefers this, so we avoid needing external resources by default, avoid breaking when the Leaflet CDN is down, etc.
With regards to features lost my only concern would be customizable waypoint icons. It would be really great to be able to at least change colour from the config. The wishlist point of generating one file per waypoint might solve an issue I have with osm only showing the most recently added waypoints unless I rebuild. I have however a huge number of waypoints.
> did a grep `Placemark pois.kml|wc -l` which returned 3468. Which perhaps isn't that much? I'm thinking about how individual poi files might affect performance. My performance troubles are more likely to be with my tweaked album and img plugins though.
> The issue about not getting all the waipoints until you rebuild has been solved, the current plugin had issues with keeping track of updated and deleted waypoints which is now fixed in my branch. --[[users/Tincho]]
I've done some initial testing now and I'm wondering if behaviour has changed with regards to the waypoint link. With the old plugin I get a map marker and link to the main map from each waypoint. See <http://img.kalleswork.net/Peter_Celsing-Filmhuset/IMGP7104/> for example, the marker is below the image. My initial tests with your plugin doesn't create this link as far as I can tell. Have I misconfigured something or is it indeed missing? --[[users/kjs]]
> It is not there any more (I should document this, thanks for pointing it out). I thought that it was not good to have that marker inserted unconditionally; also, there is no full-page map any more with this plugin (which required a cgi mode). The alternative will be to have a page with the map, and adding a link to it. --[[users/Tincho]]
