Have you seen the One Place Studies Map?

Question

Back in May, Steven Harris announced his Global Cemetery Map. During the LiveCast back in June on One Place Studies, we discussed the possibility of having the same functionality for One Place Studies - showing all studies on WikiTree.

Since then, Aleš and Steve started processing and mapping an OPS Map and have added new parameters to the OPS Category Info Box:
*wikidataID
*coordinates

After a review of all studies and updating the companion study category with the new parameters, we’d like to announce:

WikiTree One Place Studies Map

As with the Cemetery Map, you can navigate the globe, zooming in on a specific study which will display a popup box containing the name of the study as a link to the study page.

Let us know if you notice any bugs or if you aren't finding your study on the map.

Have fun! :) Steve, Aleš, Amy, Azure, and Katie

Love it! Very nice, as always thanks for all you do, Aleš!

I'm getting a CORS block on JSON:

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://wikitree.sdms.si/Categories/CIBOnePlaceStudy.json' from origin 'https://apps.wikitree.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Map "spinner" shows and it goes no further.

---

The https://wikitree.sdms.si/Categories/CIBOnePlaceStudy.json no longer exists in that place. It was moved to https://plus.wikitree.com/Categories/CIBOnePlaceStudy.json

I think Steven will have to correct the URL.

---

Thanks for quick reply, Aleš. And thanks for the effort on this and all others.

(BTW- that json in old link (wikitree.sdms.si) still loads data - but, it's because it redirects (301) to link you mentioned. Which of course would break cors if not included in acceptable domains.)

---

This is fixed now. Thanks, Aleš!

---

indeed, got reminded of this with Brady's comment, and the map just has a spinner on it, expanding it shows me African continent countries, no ability to move to North America.

---

Ales, that second item just gives me a page of computereese.

> "This is fixed now. Thanks, Aleš!"

Thanks, Steve. Yep - works now. Looks good.

PS - Anyone who still sees spinner - make sure you clear your browser cache, or close your browser completely/reopen.

---

@Danielle, the link from Aleš is data I use to generate the maps. You can ignore them.

thanks Steven, works now.

:D

Answer 4

Thanks for all your work on this project!

Answer 5

I love this!! Thanks for adding this feature.

Answer 6

Is it broken?

I've been trying to view the map for a few days now but it seems stuck on an animate circle of dots.

I do hope it gets fixed soon.

For what it's worth, it is because:

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://wikitree.sdms.si/Categories/CIBOnePlaceStudy.json' from origin 'https://apps.wikitree.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Steve and/or Aleš will have to fix.

---

Many thanks for clarifying that

Up and running again ...thanks for the fix!

working now for me - thank you for fix

Answer 7

Didn't work for me in Firefox. The big ball just kept rotating.

Comments

Same for me in Firefox on Mac - but the idea is great! I hope the "rotating blob" can be fixed. And many thanks to Aleš and Steve!

Answer 8

Thank you.  It will be fun to explore the studies in my research area.

Answer 9

Worked for me after I disabled my Badger ad blocker. May be similar for others. (Firefox, Mac). Was just getting spinner.

Answer 10

I am not seeing my OPS of Coloma, Wisconsin.

Hi, Culley!

It had been assigned the wrong gps coordinates, but it is there, right now it's showing up in Galesville. You just have to keep drilling down. Next update it will show up in the correct location.

Azure :)
