Custom Sources + GeoJSON

[nilshoerrmann]

From the Extension Updates thread in the forum:

Support for GeoJSON (pasting locations) as well as for different tile providers (custom, Mapbox – using Leaflet) would be helpful additions.

Would be useful to know more requirements on this, pasting locations in? As in, uploading a GeoJSON or KML file?

[nilshoerrmann]

Pasting as in copy & paste.
For example from http://geojson.io.

@nilshoerrmann adding different maps in the backend view is now quite easy:

1. Duplicate this block, give it a new name and pointer the parameters to your tile-URL:

https://github.com/symphonists/maplocationfield/blob/master/assets/maplocationfield.publish.js#L100-L108

1. Add the name of the newly defined map layer here:

https://github.com/symphonists/maplocationfield/blob/master/assets/maplocationfield.publish.js#L83

e. g. mapTypeIds.push("OSM"); —> mapTypeIds.push("OSM, MyNewMapLayerName");

Would be nice to have a GUI for this in the field settings, but … xyz, yxz, zxy …
