WiseMapping Open Source

Web Based Mindmapping Tool

Project Information

The goal of this project is to provide a high quality product that can be deployed by educational and academic institutions, private and public companies and anyone who needs to have a mindmapping application. WiseMapping is based on the same code source supporting WiseMapping.com. More info: www.wisemapping.org

Compiling and Running

Prerequisites

The following products must be installed:

Java Development Kit 7 or higher (http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp)
Maven 2.2.1 or higher (http://maven.apache.org/)

Compiling

WiseMapping uses Maven as packaging and project management. The project is composed of 4 maven sub-modules:

core-js: Utilities JavaScript libraries
web2d: JavaScript 2D SVG abstraction library used by the mind map editor
mindplot: JavaScript mind map designer core
wise-webapp: J2EE web application

Full compilation of the project can be done executing within :

mvn clean install

Once this command is execute, the file /wise-webapp/target/wisemapping.war will be generated.

Testing

The previously generated war can be deployed locally executing within the directory /wise-webapp the following command:

mvn jetty:run

This will start the application on the URL: http://localhost:8080. Additionally, a file based database is automatically populated with a test user.

User: test@wisemapping.org Pass: test

Running the JS only version

Start by creating the .zip file:

mvn assembly:assembly -Dmaven.test.skip=true

To test the javascript frontend you then do:

ruby -rwebrick -e 'WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:Port=>8000,:DocumentRoot=>".").start'

Now open a browser using the URL http://localhost:8000/wise-editor/src/main/webapp/

Attaching drag and drop events.

Support for dragging TextNodes:

The following code is an example of how to add attach to the div dragImageNode the support for node dragging.

$("dragTextNode").addEvent('mousedown', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();

    // Create a image node ...
    var mindmap = designer.getMindmap();
    var node = mindmap.createNode();
    node.setText("Node Text !!!!");
    node.setMetadata("{'media':'test'}");
    node.setShapeType(mindplot.model.TopicShape.RECTANGLE);

    // Add link ...
    var link = node.createFeature(mindplot.TopicFeature.Link.id, {url:"http://www.wisemapping.com"});
    node.addFeature(link);

    // Add Note ...
    var note = node.createFeature(mindplot.TopicFeature.Note.id, {text:"This is a note"});
    node.addFeature(note);

    designer.addDraggedNode(event, node);
});

In the example, a new node is created with text "Node Text !!!!" and a note and a link associated to it when the user drop the node. Something to pay attention is the node.setMetadata("{}"), this delegated will be persisted during the serialization. Here you can store all the data you need.

Support for dragging Images: Similar to the point 1,drag support is registered to the div dragImageNode.

     $("dragImageNode").addEvent('mousedown', function(event) {
         event.preventDefault();

         // Create a image node ...
         var mindmap = designer.getMindmap();
         var node = mindmap.createNode();
         node.setImageSize(80, 43);
         node.setMetadata("{'media':'video,'url':'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3FrXftyuzw&feature=g-vrec&context=G2b4ab69RVAAAAAAAAAA'}");
         node.setImageUrl("images/logo-small.png");
         node.setShapeType(mindplot.model.TopicShape.IMAGE);

         designer.addDraggedNode(event, node);
     });

The node.setShapeType(mindplot.model.TopicShape.IMAGE) defines a image node. This makes mandatory the set of setImageUrl and setImageSize properties in the node.

An event registration mechanism for Image nodes edit events: The next snipped show how to register a custom edition handler.

     designer.addEvent("editnode", function(event) {
         var node = event.model;

         alert("Node Id:" + node.getId());
         alert("Node Metadata:" + node.getMetadata());
         alert("Is Read Only:" + event.readOnly);
} });
