Special tag renderings

In a tagrendering, some special values are substituted by an advanced UI-element. This allows advanced features and visualizations to be reused by custom themes or even to query third-party API's.

General usage is {func_name()}, {func_name(arg, someotherarg)} or {func_name(args):cssClasses}. Note that you do not need to use quotes around your arguments, the comma is enough to separate them. This also implies you cannot use a comma in your args

Using expanded syntax

Instead of using {"render": {"en": "{some_special_visualisation(some_arg, some other really long message, more args)} , "nl": "{some_special_visualisation(some_arg, een boodschap in een andere taal, more args)}}, one can also write

{
  "render": {
    "special": {
      "type": "some_special_visualisation",
      "argname": "some_arg",
      "message": {
        "en": "some other really long message",
        "nl": "een boodschap in een andere taal"
      },
      "other_arg_name": "more args"
    },
    "before": {
      "en": "Some text to prefix before the special element (e.g. a title)",
      "nl": "Een tekst om voor het element te zetten (bv. een titel)"
    },
    "after": {
      "en": "Some text to put after the element, e.g. a footer"
    }
  }
}

In other words: use { "before": ..., "after": ..., "special": {"type": ..., "argname": ...argvalue...}. The args are in the special block; an argvalue can be a string, a translation or another value. (Refer to class RewriteSpecial in case of problems)

questions

The special element which shows the questions which are unkown. Added by default if not yet there

name default description
labels undefined One or more ';'-separated labels. If these are given, only questions with these labels will be given. Use unlabeled for all questions that don't have an explicit label. If none given, all questions will be shown

minimap

A small map showing the selected feature.

name default description
zoomlevel 18 The (maximum) zoomlevel: the target zoomlevel after fitting the entire feature. The minimap will fit the entire feature, then zoom out to this zoom level. The higher, the more zoomed in with 1 being the entire world and 19 being really close
idKey id (Matches all resting arguments) This argument should be the key of a property of the feature. The corresponding value is interpreted as either the id or the a list of ID's.

name default description
feature_ids undefined A JSON-serialized list of IDs of features to apply the tagging on
keys undefined One key (or multiple keys, seperated by ';') of the attribute that should be copied onto the other features.
text undefined The text to show on the button
autoapply undefined A boolean indicating wether this tagging should be applied automatically if the relevant tags on this object are changed. A visual element indicating the multi_apply is still shown
overwrite undefined If set to 'true', the tags on the other objects will always be overwritten. The default behaviour will be to only change the tags on other objects if they are either undefined or had the same value before the change

Example usage of multi_apply

{multi_apply(_features_with_the_same_name_within_100m, name:etymology:wikidata;name:etymology, Apply etymology information on all nearby objects with the same name)}

{close_note(,checkmark.svg,id,,,)}

plantnet_detection

Sends the images linked to the current object to plantnet.org and asks it what plant species is shown on it. The user can then select the correct species; the corresponding wikidata-identifier will then be added to the object (together with source:species:wikidata=plantnet.org AI).

name default description
image_key image,mapillary,image,wikidata,wikimedia_commons,image,image The keys given to the images, e.g. if image is given, the first picture URL will be added as image, the second as image:0, the third as image:1, etc... Multiple values are allowed if ';'-separated

Example usage of plantnet_detection

{plantnet_detection(image,mapillary,image,wikidata,wikimedia_commons,image,image)}

tag_apply

Shows a big button; clicking this button will apply certain tags onto the feature.

The first argument takes a specification of which tags to add. These can either be a tag to add, such as amenity=fast_food or can use a substitution, e.g. addr:housenumber=$number. This new point will then have the tags amenity=fast_food and addr:housenumber with the value that was saved in number in the original feature.

If a value to substitute is undefined, empty string will be used instead.

This supports multiple values, e.g. ref=$source:geometry:type/$source:geometry:ref

Remark that the syntax is slightly different then expected; it uses '$' to note a value to copy, followed by a name (matched with [a-zA-Z0-9_:]*). Sadly, delimiting with {} as these already mark the boundaries of the special rendering...

Note that these values can be prepare with javascript in the theme by using a calculatedTag

name default description
tags_to_apply undefined A specification of the tags to apply. This is either hardcoded in the layer or the $name of a property containing the tags to apply. If redirected and the value of the linked property starts with {, the other property will be interpreted as a json object
message undefined The text to show to the contributor
image undefined An image to show to the contributor on the button
id_of_object_to_apply_this_one undefined If specified, applies the the tags onto another object. The id will be read from properties[id_of_object_to_apply_this_one] of the selected object. The tags are still calculated based on the tags of the selected element
maproulette_id undefined If specified, this maproulette-challenge will be closed when the tags are applied. This should be the ID of the task, not the task_id.

Example usage of tag_apply

{tag_apply(survey_date=$_now:date, Surveyed today!)}, `{tag_apply(addr:street=$addr:street, Apply the address, apply_icon.svg, _closest_osm_id)

import_button

This button will copy the point from an external dataset into OpenStreetMap

Note that the contributor must zoom to at least zoomlevel 18 to be able to use this functionality. It is only functional in official themes, but can be tested in unoffical themes.

Specifying which tags to copy or add

The argument `tags` of the import button takes a `;`-seperated list of tags to add (or the name of a property which contains a JSON-list of properties).

These can either be a tag to add, such as amenity=fast_food or can use a substitution, e.g. addr:housenumber=$number. This new point will then have the tags amenity=fast_food and addr:housenumber with the value that was saved in number in the original feature.

If a value to substitute is undefined, empty string will be used instead.

This supports multiple values, e.g. ref=$source:geometry:type/$source:geometry:ref

Remark that the syntax is slightly different then expected; it uses '$' to note a value to copy, followed by a name (matched with [a-zA-Z0-9_:]*). Sadly, delimiting with {} as these already mark the boundaries of the special rendering...

Note that these values can be prepare with javascript in the theme by using a calculatedTag

Importing a dataset into OpenStreetMap: requirements

If you want to import a dataset, make sure that:

  1. The dataset to import has a suitable license
  2. The community has been informed of the import
  3. All other requirements of the import guidelines have been followed

There are also some technicalities in your theme to keep in mind:

  1. The new feature will be added and will flow through the program as any other new point as if it came from OSM. This means that there should be a layer which will match the new tags and which will display it.
  2. The original feature from your geojson layer will gain the tag '_imported=yes'. This should be used to change the appearance or even to hide it (eg by changing the icon size to zero)
  3. There should be a way for the theme to detect previously imported points, even after reloading. A reference number to the original dataset is an excellent way to do this
  4. When importing ways, the theme creator is also responsible of avoiding overlapping ways.

Disabled in unofficial themes

The import button can be tested in an unofficial theme by adding test=true or backend=osm-test as URL-paramter. The import button will show up then. If in testmode, you can read the changeset-XML directly in the web console. In the case that MapComplete is pointed to the testing grounds, the edit will be made on https://master.apis.dev.openstreetmap.org

name default description
targetLayer undefined The id of the layer where this point should end up. This is not very strict, it will simply result in checking that this layer is shown preventing possible duplicate elements
tags undefined The tags to add onto the new object - see specification above. If this is a key (a single word occuring in the properties of the object), the corresponding value is taken and expanded instead
text Import this data into OpenStreetMap The text to show on the button
icon ./assets/svg/addSmall.svg A nice icon to show in the button
snap_onto_layers undefined If a way of the given layer(s) is closeby, will snap the new point onto this way (similar as preset might snap). To show multiple layers to snap onto, use a ;-seperated list
max_snap_distance 5 The maximum distance that the imported point will be moved to snap onto a way in an already existing layer (in meters). This is previewed to the contributor, similar to the 'add new point'-action of MapComplete
note_id undefined If given, this key will be read. The corresponding note on OSM will be closed, stating 'imported'
maproulette_id undefined The property name of the maproulette_id - this is probably mr_taskId. If given, the maproulette challenge will be marked as fixed. Only use this if part of a maproulette-layer.

Example usage of import_button

{import_button(,,Import this data into OpenStreetMap,./assets/svg/addSmall.svg,,5,,)}

import_way_button

This button will copy the data from an external dataset into OpenStreetMap, copying the geometry and adding it as a 'line'

Note that the contributor must zoom to at least zoomlevel 18 to be able to use this functionality. It is only functional in official themes, but can be tested in unoffical themes.

Specifying which tags to copy or add

The argument `tags` of the import button takes a `;`-seperated list of tags to add (or the name of a property which contains a JSON-list of properties).

These can either be a tag to add, such as amenity=fast_food or can use a substitution, e.g. addr:housenumber=$number. This new point will then have the tags amenity=fast_food and addr:housenumber with the value that was saved in number in the original feature.

  - A host feature to place the auto-action on. This can be a big outline (such as a city). Another good option for this is the layer 
  - [current_view](./BuiltinLayers.md#current_view)
