Map controls and config

[andrixnet]

settingsDefault.inc.php contains the following items:

/* ************************************************************************
 * Cache page mini map
 * ************************************************************************ */

/* Cache page small map, fixed, clickable to open minimap.                  */
// available options are roadmap, terrain, map, satellite, hybrid
$config['maps']['cache_page_map']['layer'] = 'terrain';
$config['maps']['cache_page_map']['zoom'] = 8; 

In /src/Controllers/ViewCacheController.php I see the following lines:

        $zoom = $config['maps']['cache_page_map']['zoom'];
        $mapType = $config['maps']['cache_page_map']['layer'];
        $size = [170, 170]; 

In my settings.inc.php I have these:

/* Cache page static map, clickable to open minimap.                        */
/* available options are:
    mapnik (OpenStreetMap) (default)
    sterrain, stoner (Stamen)
    cycle (OpenCycleMap)                                                    */
$config['maps']['cache_page_map']['layer'] = 'mapnik';
$config['maps']['cache_page_map']['zoom'] = 10;
// choose color according to https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/intro#Markers
$config['maps']['cache_page_map']['marker_color'] = 'red';

/* Cache page minimap                                                       */
$config['maps']['cache_mini_map']['zoom'] = 15;
$config['maps']['cache_mini_map']['width'] = '240';
$config['maps']['cache_mini_map']['height'] = '480';

These seem to be lost / abandoned and I can't seem to find any correspondent in the new /config/map.* section.

How do I configure the cache page mini map size, layer, zoom level?

The current config in settings.inc.php works:

$config['maps']['cache_page_map']['layer'] = 'mapnik';
$config['maps']['cache_page_map']['zoom'] = 8;

Available layer options can be found in the code. Currently, only mapnik and cycle work correctly, sterrain and stoner do not. You can search online for other tile providers that support the {Z}/{X}/{Y}.png format (e.g., http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{Z}/{X}/{Y}.png) and add them.

If you need to configure the map size, this is not currently supported, but it could be added in a similar way to the zoom and layer configs.

Note that map tiles are cached as image files under dynamic-files/images/staticmap/maps/. I haven't verified whether there is any automatic cleanup, but for testing purposes, you can manually clear the folders for each layer (the default is mapnik).

There are two useful lists of raster tile map providers:

https://leaflet-extras.github.io/leaflet-providers/preview/

Then could we move this to /config/map.default.php ?

The references are few, I'll try it myself, see how it goes. But I'll ask you to review my changes afterwards, please.
