Pelagios Ancient Roman Map as Layer in Neatline

Omeka Classic Themes
1

I am using Omeka 2.4.1 and the Neatline Plugin and trying to implement the Pelagios Roman Map as explained on this legacy Omeka Forum post - http://omeka.org/forums-legacy/topic/neatline-custom-spatial-layers#post-106736

I’ve created a new folder within the Neatscape theme as it describes - /themes/neatscape/neatline/layers and then I’ve added the JSON file that Wayne Graham made with limited success:

<{
“Pelagios”: [
{
“title”: “Pelagios Digital Map of the Roman Empire”,
“id”: “Pelagios”,
“type”: “XYZ”,
“properties”: {
“urls”: [
“http://pelagios.dme.ait.ac.at/tilesets/imperium/${z}/${x}/${y}.png”
]
}
}
]
}>

The layer shows up in the Exhibit Settings in Neatline and can be selected in the Edit and Public sections of Neatline but the Map layer itself does not show.

I also made sure to move the map to the section that is visible. It only extends around the Mediterranean sea and has no visible map off the west coast of Africa, which is the default location.

Can anyone give me some advice on changes to this setting in Neatline, Omeka, or even if there have been changes to the Pelagios project itself? (I would have put another link to the project here but as a new user I am limited to two links.)

Thanks,

Kent Gerber

Thanks to Ben Daigle, Associate Director of Consortial Library Systems at The Five Colleges of Ohio, who provided a quick fix. The url for the map tiles changed from http://pelagios.dme.ait.ac.at/tilesets/imperium/${z}/${x}/${y}.png to
http://pelagios.org/tilesets/imperium/${z}/${x}/${y}.png

For anyone interested in using the Digital Atlas of the Roman Empire for their projects, the tiles have moved to a new location, the Centre for Digital Humanities at the University of Gothenberg, Sweden.

Thanks to Simon Rainer, who pointed me to the Centre run by Johan Ahlfeldt, the new url for the tiles is - http://dh.gu.se/tiles/imperium/{z}/{x}/{y}.png

I changed the resulting json snippet to:

{
“Dare”: [
{
“title”: “Digital Atlas of the Roman Empire”,
“id”: “Dare”,
“type”: “XYZ”,
“properties”: {
“urls”: [
“https://dh.gu.se/tiles/imperium/${z}/${x}/${y}.png”
]
}
}
]
