The Geofield Stack, featuring modules like Geofield, Leaflet, and Geocoder, empowers Drupal to handle complex geographic data while delivering engaging visual representations to end users. This session will explore the full potential of Drupal Geomapping, from foundational Drupal CMS features to advanced real-world applications—such as geo-photographic storytelling. We'll also demonstrate how the emerging Drupal Recipes approach enhances these capabilities for more streamlined implementations.
This presentation will cover Geomapping in the new Drupal CMS, from basic to advanced features. The key topics include:
* An overview of the main modules in the Geofield Stack and their functionalities.
* A demonstration of basic Geomapping features within the Events profile of Drupal CMS (specifically the drupal_cms_events recipe).
* An exploration of advanced Geomapping capabilities, including complex geometric inputs, dynamic representation, automated import and geocoding, through real-world use cases and Drupal application configurations.
* A showcase of extending Drupal CMS with a dedicated Recipe for geo-photographic storytelling.
