Creating Distributor Maps in Drupal with Geofield and Leaflet
Bartłomiej Filipiuk, writing for Droptica, has provided a comprehensive guide on creating a distributor map in Drupal using free tools such as OpenStreetMap, Geofield, Geocoder, and Leaflet modules, requiring no programming knowledge. The article outlines a step-by-step process, starting with the installation and configuration of key modules, including Geofield for storing geographic coordinates, Geocoder for address-to-coordinate conversion, Address for detailed address management, and Leaflet for map integration.
Users are guided on configuring geocoding with OpenRouteService and creating a "Distributors" content type featuring fields for address, location, image, and descriptions. Filipiuk also explains how to automatically populate location markers on a map and create a view combining a map display and a distributor list using Leaflet Views. This guide enables users to design a functional, customizable map showcasing distributor locations directly through Drupal's interface.
