Maps happily co-existing in Umbraco

Filed under: Umbraco - by Darren Ferguson @ 17:35

I’m getting close to being done with the Umbraco ‘place’ datatype. As soon as Virgin Media restore my Internet service at home I’ll be ready to release!

Umbraco place datatype

Since my first post, place markers are now draggable for extra accuracy and you can place multiple maps within a document type. Maps in different tabs is now supported after an initial issue with maps which were rendered while not displayed.

    Looks really cool. I didnt know you worked on this. Ive got
    A similar datatype developed by tim g.

    Does yours work with autoform? With Cancas?

    Gravatar of Darren FergusonHi Jesper, I haven't seems Tims datatype, I guess it wasn't 'released'?

    I'll have a look at my dt with autoform and canvas, though I can't see why it wouldn't work? it's just a standard .net user control.

    Gravatar of Darren Ferguson@Jesper, I don't think that Tim's datatype was made available for download? I hadn't heard about it before I started working on this.

    I haven't tested it with autoform or canvas as yet.

    Gravatar of Kalle WibeckFunny, I made a quick datatype mockup myself the other day using Microsoft Virtual Earth and had just the same tab issue you mention here... but I didn't bother fixing it so I put it in the first tab instead :)
    Then just now I found this blog post and I must say that yours looks slicker...
