New Post: Windows 8 support

rbrundritt — Mon, 20 May 2013 20:20:01 GMT

Most of these work in Windows 8 without any changes being needed. When I get a chance I plan on going through all the modules and testing them in a windows Store app and fix the ones that aren't supported.

New Post: How do you open InfoBoxes from outside links in Bing Map v7?

AndrewVH — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 06:57:39 GMT

I have the following Bing Map v7: http://new.piperrealtycompany.com/temp/test2.cfm?city=fenton

In which I have a set of pushpins, with InfoBoxes associated with each one.

I'd have a list of corresponding links that are outside if the map.

I need the links in the list to open the corresponding InfoBoxes in the map and rolling over pushpins to highlight the corresponding link in list.

I'm trying to achieve something like this! http://www.zillow.com/flint-township-mi/
.
How can this be done?

New Post: Shape ToolBox and callback

admirer — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 15:57:37 GMT

Is there any example which shows how to get a callback once the shape is created or edited.

Any pointers in attaching a bind and trigger to module is much appreciated

Thanks.

Are there any plans to add windows 8 support for these?

New Post: Shape Toolbox - making programatically created shapes editable

rbrundritt — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 07:58:49 GMT

It should be noted that the rectangle and the circle classes will be turned into polygons by the WKT writer. What you can do is store the shape type info and additional properties such as radius for the circle case.

As for making shapes edittable at a later date. I'll take a look at adding a method that you can use to pass in a shape to make it edittable.

New Post: Shape Toolbox - making programatically created shapes editable

maxmumford — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 10:58:29 GMT

Hello everybody!

I am using the Shape Toolbox to let a user draw shapes. The shapes are then sent off to a web server to be saved. When the user re-loads the page, I want the shapes to reappear, and be editable.

I know I can draw shapes on the map using the bing map API, however I also need them to be editable and am struggling.

I have tried digging into the souce code for the shape toolbox module and mimicking what goes on when the user creates a shape but have had no success.

Can anybody give me a hand or point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
Max.

Thanks for the info. The drawing tools module has now been updated to work with Advance Polygons.

if you try and use these two scripts together then when a polygon is drawn upon ending the edit the polygon will not be closed, to correct this the following needs to be changed in the shape Toolbox module

function _Dispose() {

if (_shape && (_shape.toString() == '[Polygon]')) {

function _Dispose() {

if (_shape && (_shape.toString() == '[AdvancedShapes.Polygon]' |_shape.toString() == '[Polygon]')) {

Hi,

Great idea for a community project. My ideas would be:

Custom Map Type Module - hiding standard and adding custom map types including OpenStreetMap, OpenCycleMap, etc. Unless this already exists - if so point me at it :-)

Elevation Data Module - reference a known elevation data provider and add data to existing points

The Custom Map Type module can be done by setting the map style to mercator which will disable th ebase tile layer, and then add your custom tile layer to the map.

New Post: Custom Infobox html content and jQuery

rbrundritt — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 16:36:19 GMT

Hi.

The reason you can't get your tabs to work is that the infobox re-renders as you move the map around. This results in click events being released. To get around this you can add a click event to your div's in the form of onclick='Showtab()'

New Post: Custom Infobox html content and jQuery

danpatterson — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 20:17:33 GMT

Hi, I have just started using Bing Maps and this custom infobox exactly what I needed. It works great and I can css my html content. One thing I can't do is use jQuery to show and hide tabs inside the info box. Is this something I should be able to do or will custon infobox not allow this?

I have the follwing html:

//Define the layout contents in the infobox
var html = ["<div id='tabs' style='padding:10px'>"];
html.push("<ul><li><a href='#tab-1'>tab 1</a></li><li><a href='#tab-2'>more stuff</a></li><li><a href='#tab-3'>even more stuff</a></li></ul>");
html.push("<div id='tab-1'><p>", e.target.description, "</p></div>");
html.push("<div id='tab-2'><p>more</p></div>");
html.push("<div id='tab-3'><p>stuff</p></div>");
html.push("</div>");

These 3 div and the tab list display but the jQuery below just does not work:

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$('#myMap_infobox').hide(); // Hide all divs
$('#tabs div:first').show(); // Show the first div
$('#tabs ul li:first').addClass('active'); // Set the class of the first link to active
$('#tabs ul li a').click(function(){ //When any link is clicked
$('#tabs ul li').removeClass('active'); // Remove active class from all links
$(this).parent().addClass('active'); //Set clicked link class to active
var currentTab = $(this).attr('href'); // Set variable currentTab to value of href attribute of clicked link
$('#tabs div').hide(); // Hide all divs
$(currentTab).show(); // Show div with id equal to variable currentTab
return false;
});

This jQuery works fine in the html tabs outside the infobox

Any ideas?

Thanks, Dan

@drazic19:

Custom map layers can be added fairly easily http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg427598.aspx. Disabling the base layer can be done by setting it to type "mercator".

Use a callback when loading the module and then calculate the route after the module has loaded.

New Post: GeoRSS on Android

adamhill — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 22:02:17 GMT

Has anyone tried the GeoRSS module on Android? I am getting the error:

"E/browser ( 279): Console: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: GeoRSSLayer http://192.168.1.103/georss/index.html : 38" in the adb console.

Which is the call to "new GeoRSSLayer()" in the index.html.

Everything is working fine in desktop browsers.

Any ideas?

Hello,

Another idea:

Module for integrating Map services, Geometry services, and possibly other services from ArcGIS Server, perhaps through the ArcGIS Server REST API

Hi,

Thanx for nice solution(Route Service Helper) and code,

refer : http://bingmapsv7modules.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Route%20Service%20Helper

1) I'm trying to eliminate "Calculate Route" button click so that page can display Route on very first page load by calling CalculateRoute() in function GetMap() 's last line. but getting error "RouteServiceHelper" not Initialized.

How I can achieve this functionality?

Lets use this thread to list ideas for modules to be created. If you have an idea add it to the thread. If you find an idea on here you want to build out, go for it. HEre are some ideas to get us started:

Social Media ideas

Twitter Module - Wrap the twitter services to make displaying tweets on the map easy. https://dev.twitter.com/docs
Four Square Module - Wrap Four Square services https://developer.foursquare.com/index
Toptable Module - Wrap toptable web services http://webservices.toptable.com/Help/index.html

Useful data ideas

London Underground Module - Wrap the free feeds to add London Underground data on the map: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/businessandpartners/syndication/16492.aspx Maybe extracting the rail line information so we can overlay the routes on the map would be good too.
Standard RSS/ATOM feed parsing module. Possibly integrate with GeoRSS module, or rewrite GeoRSS module to extend this module.
Photosynth module - Create a module that makes integrating photosynth with Bing Maps as easy.
