EXT:nominatim

Geocoding service via OSM Nominatim (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim).

Fetching geo coordinates

Contains a CommandController for fetching and persisting geo coordinates in arbitrary database tables.

vendor/bin/typo3 nominatim:geocode:fetch

Example configuration given for EXT:tt_address:

module.tx_nominatim {
    tables {
        tt_address {
            sourceFields {
                address = address
                postalcode = zip
                city = city
                country = country
            }
            targetFields {
                latitude = latitude
                longitude = longitude
            }
        }
    }
}

NOTE: the postalcode/zip value is actually not send to Nominatim, as it apparently makes the search loose and may lead to "zero" results.

TBD

• Add hook for (re-)fetch of coordinates on save/change of address in backend
• Spot other use cases (e.g. for other extensions/tables), elaborate other useful features
• Add signal/slot for actions before & after database operations
• Add Documentation how to extend this extension
