I would like to ask if there is a way on how to display the nameAlt of a unit instead of the unit label in displaying the indoor map.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-maps/drawing-package-guide
In the drawing package guide, it shows the unit label but how can we also display the nameAlt?
I have not found any documentation about it. However, I have found that Azure Indoor Maps is using Mapbox GL JS as a rendering engine. For this reason, it seems that some documentation of Mapbox GL JS can be helpful until Azure Indoor Maps have more documentation. https://www.mapbox.com/blog/azure-maps-adds-data-driven-styling-powered-by-mapbox-gl
In this case, we have used the setLayoutProperty (https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/map/#map#setlayoutproperty and https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/language-switch/) method to change it. However, we are not sure if the property name will change in the future, Azure Indoor Maps is on preview, and this kind of change can be risky.
This is the code snippet that we have used in our project to display the nameAlt property.
map.events.add('render', function (e) {
//Used the render function to get all the layers, including the layers for indoor maps.
//Set the nameAlt in the text-field instead of name in indoor_global_unit_label
map.map.setLayoutProperty('microsoft.maps.indoor.labels_indoor.indoor_global_unit_label', 'text-field', '{nameAlt}');
});
The display name is handled by the SDK and currently there is no way to override that.

I am trying to create a different layout for a sub-section of my website using Orchard.
Let's say I wanted to give www.site.com/Shop a different layout from the rest of the website; how would I go about doing this?
I have tried looking for a way to do this using layers but have got stuck.
There are several ways to achieve different layout, since I don't know your specific needs I'll throw in some extra possible routes
Use url shape alternate (I guess you need this one)
You have to enable Url Alternates module and it lets you create shape alternates based on url. For example if your page is www.site.com/shop you can then create view under your theme Layout-url-Shop.cshtml and it will be used instead of default Layout.cshtml on your shop.
Orchard documentantion: URL and Widget Alternates
Use 1.x or wait for 1.9
There you can define dynamically different layout per content item aka page. But I find it good only for content not the base layout which is present in layout.cshtml

I'm working with nokia HERE maps and I want to add an additional layer of visualization graphics on top of a map. Since the possibilities to interact, manipulate and customize the graphics created by the HERE api are limited, I would like to work with d3.js/SVG for my visualizations.
My straight forward and obvious solution would have been to just add an absolute positioned SVG element on top of the map and giving it the same dimensions. But of course that takes every possibility to interact with the map. Is there any solution to add an overlay to the map which allows me to put SVG on it while maintaining the full interactivity (panning, zooming, clicking) of the map? Also it should be possible to interact with the SVG.
I know that there is a possibility to add a custom overlay of tiles provided by a tile server to HERE maps but that's not really what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something like the solution google has to offer to this problem. A set of custom layers which are always in sync with the corresponding map and have their own initialize, draw and remove methods. Is there something similar for HERE maps?
I think you are after the nokia.maps.map.provider.CanvasProvider class. This class provides a ground overlay bound to a specific area which offers a draw() method. The attach() method is the equivalent of your intialize I think, and you can refresh the overlay using update().
Depending upon your use case, I've also found the following techniques useful regarding SVG, Images and HERE Maps:
For an SVG marker which is anchored to a point and doesn't resize
use: SVG Markers
Alternatively override the Marker class and write using the low
level graphics commands to add flexibility to the rendering of a
marker anchored to a point. Like this: Defaced Marker
To add an image bound to a specific area use the ImageProvider class
To add a series of tiled images from a TMS (Tile Map Service) use the ImgTileProvider class
Alternatively if the [zoom][col][row] is useful to you and you
want to write SVG based stuff yourself try something like this example - which combines
SVG with 256x256 pixel markers.
Note that the HERE Maps API for JavaScript only supports SVG Tiny.
A class like the old nokia.maps.map.provider.CanvasProvider isn't even available on the new v3 API from Here.
Your best bet is on Leaflet using custom providers loading Here map tiles. Then you just load this Custom Overlay class and you're all set to draw D3, WebGL, whatever you need. Leaflet only loads the tiles from the providers and exposes some simple APIs. You will not have to deal with any of the providers' APIs.
Just don't forget to add your app_id and app_code to the provider class.
Starting with the skeleton application I want to create a multilingual project. For the Navigation I'm using Zend\Navigation. Everyhting works well - not setting a translator for the navigation view helper.
The translator is registered within the module.config.php and works well for all kinds of translations (including translate view helper, also within layout). But to be able to translate labels of the navigation I need to set the translator to the navigation view helper. According to the documentation this could be done like this:
$this->navigation()->setTranslator($translator);
Or something like that. Problem is that I can't find out how to fetch the configured translator from within the layout. Is there a way to access the ServiceManager or getting the service locator?
Instead of setting the translator with the navigation, since it's already configured as you said, you could use TextDomain instead. Here is what I currently do:
$this->navigation('Zend\Navigation\Navigation')->setTranslatorTextDomain('textdomainhere');
Of course if all your translations are in the same textdomain of default, then you don't need to set anything: $this->navigation('Zend\Navigation\Navigation');
As for getting the translate working in the layout all you do is:
echo $this->translate('Translate This Text', 'textdomainhere');
Hi
I have enclosed two app images which has grid view like widgets with different image heights and widths, loaded dynamically ,i need to create the same type of UI ,i could be glad if someone guide me to start with.
A similar question was asked previously and this is the answer.
The developer used Bucket List Adapter to create the google play like list view.
I have many large KML data-sets, which are served using a hierarchy of region-based network-links; as described in the KML reference:
Using Regions in conjunction with NetworkLinks, you can create a hierarchy of pointers, each of which points to a specific sub-Region. The <viewRefreshMode>, as shown in the following KML file, has an onRegion option, which specifies to load the Region data only when the Region is active. If you provide nested Regions with multiple levels of detail, larger amounts of data are loaded only when the user's viewpoint triggers the next load.
This works nicely when loaded in Google Earth.
I now wish to load these in an application using the Google Earth plug-in. And I need to access the loaded content via the Google Earth API; (i.e. attach click events, alter styles) to integrate the content into the application.
The issue is, I haven't found any reference to an 'on-load' event for network links. In my mind, the way this would work is:
Load top-level network link via the API, attaching a call-back function which will be invoked when the network-link is loaded.
In the call-back function, parse the KML returned by network link. For intermediate levels in the regionation hierarchy, this KML will contain only network links to the next regionation level. Load these into the plug-in via the API, again specifying the same call-back function, which will be invoked when these are loaded (i.e. when their region becomes visible).
Eventually, the KML returned will contain the actual 'content'. At this stage we load the actual content (i.e. placemarks) into the plug-in, after performing any desired modifications (e.g. attaching event-listeners, setting styles, etc).
I'm thinking the javascript would look something like the following.
Please note: this is just a rough sketch to perhaps aid in understanding my question. I am NOT asking why this code doesn't work.
//create network link
var networkLink = ge.createNetworkLink("");
networkLink.setName("Regionated hierarchy root");
// create a Link object
//the network-links contained in the kml that will be returned in this file
//are region-based; they will only be loaded when the user zooms into the relevant
//region.
var link = ge.createLink("");
link.setHref("http://foo.com/regionatedRoot.kml");
// attach the Link to the NetworkLink
networkLink.setLink(link);
//specify the callback function to be invoked when the network link is loaded
//this is is the part that doesn't actually exist; pure fiction...
networkLink.onLoad = networkLinkLoaded;
// add the NetworkLink feature to Earth
ge.getFeatures().appendChild(networkLink);
// function which will be invoked when a network-link is loaded
// i.e. when its region becomes active
function networkLinkLoaded(kml) {
//parse the kml returned for child network links,
//this will create the network link KmlObject, with a
//region specified on it.
for (childNetworkLink in parseNetworkLinks(kml)) {
//and append them, again hooking up the call-back
childNetworkLink.onLoad = networkLinkLoaded;
ge.getFeatures().appendChild(childNetworkLink);
}
//if the user has zoomed in far enough, then the kml returned will
//contain the actual content (i.e. placemarks).
//parse the kml returned for content (in this case placemarks)
for (placemark in parsePlacemarks(kml)) {
//here we would attach event-listeners to the placemark
ge.getFeatures().appendChild(placemark);
}
}
Is this possible?
Have I taken a wrong turn in my thinking? I believe I have followed recommended practices for managing large KML datasets, but I am unsure how to use these via the API.
Addendum:
As an example of the type of problem I am trying to solve:
Imagine you are building a web application using the Google Earth Plugin, and you want to display a placemark for every set of traffic-lights in the world. The placemarks should only display at an appropriate level-of-detail (e.g. when the camera is at 5km altitude). When a user clicks on a placemark, we want the web app to load statistics for that set of traffic-lights, and display them in a sidebar.
How would you engineer this?
You wouldn't need access to the object data directly to provide the functionality you require. You would handle the data load exactly like you have done, using a hierarchy of region-based network-links.
Then if your usage scenario is like the one you set out in your addendum then you would simply use the target data from the click event to load your statistical data based on the placemarks as required.
For example, you could simply set up a generic mousedown event handler on the window object and then test to see if the target is a placemark. You can add this generic listener before you load any data and it will still be fired when you click on your dynamically loaded placemarks. There is no need to attach individual event-listeners to the placemarks at all.
e.g.
window.google.earth.addEventListener(ge.getWindow(), 'mousedown', onWindowMouseDown);
var onWindowMouseDown = function(event) {
if (event.getTarget().getType() == 'KmlPlacemark') {
// get the placemark that was clicked
var placemark = event.getTarget();
// do something with it, or one of its relative objects...
var document = placemark.getOwnerDocument();
var parent = placemark.getParentNode();
// etc...
}
}
Not sure if this is quite what you want but there is a kmltree api that will:
build out the kml tree for you based on the kml given
allow you to have a 'kmlloaded' event handler
http://code.google.com/p/kmltree/
function initCB(instance){
ge = instance;
ge.getWindow().setVisibility(true);
var gex = gex = new GEarthExtensions(ge);
var tree = kmltree({
url: 'http://foo.com/regionatedRoot.kml',
gex: gex,
mapElement: $('#map3d'),
element: $('#tree'),
});
$(tree).bind('kmlLoaded', function(event, kmlObject){ //do something here });
tree.load();
}
it does require you to bring in another js api but it works pretty good and gives you some good built in functionality.
So far I haven't found anything just from the plug-in that will fire an event when the kml is loaded...
you might be able to try using fetchKml() especially if you are hardcoding that url for the link in there?
google.earth.fetchKml(ge, 'http://foo.com/regionatedRoot.kml', function(kmlObject){
//do logic here
});
