Map Component - url Markers - Pentaho Bi pentaho-server-ce-7.1.0.0-12

[Erdnusse]

Hello guys,

I'm having some issues with using markers with Map component.
I had this working in pentaho 6 and now that i'm migrating to 7 I'm having some issues with this.

So in new version I have the same configuration that i had in 6.

I'm using a transformation to provide the data with the following format:

Longitude, Latitude, Description, popupContents, marker

Markers url are as follow:
cast('/pentaho/plugin/pentaho-cdf-dd/api/resources/system/workwisePentaho/static/custom/img/blue_marker.png' as text)
cast('/pentaho/plugin/pentaho-cdf-dd/api/resources/system/workwisePentaho/static/custom/img/red_marker.png' as text)

I've tested the link itself and the image is showing up if i put it in the browser.

I have no idea why this isnt working in the new version.

Any input would be glad.

Thanks!!

What isn't working exactly?
Is the map showing but not the markers?
Can you post a sample dashboard so that others can try to reproduce it?
Can you please post any web console logs with errors that you might be having?

Yeah the only issue is with the image of the markers.I'm using two images one for Water and one for Wastewater.

In version 6:

In version 7:

I'm using App Builder in version 7, with datasource kettle.
I dont have any error in Web console.

I've created a sample to test just the map with App builder.

Try putting the following in preExecution

function(){
  this.markerImageGetter = "urlMarker";
}

I've experimented with this, but i only get these markers not the ones I wanted from data. I need to be able to use the marker icons that are located at /pentaho/plugin/pentaho-cdf-dd/api/resources/system/workwisePentaho/static/custom/img/blue_marker.png.

I can reach this image by http://localhost:8080/pentaho/plugin...lue_marker.png in my localhost.

Try putting the following in preExecution

function(){
  this.markerImageGetter = "urlMarker";
}

Hmm.
What if you rename the 5th column "marker" to "icon-url" ?

[crusso]

Ok, after actually looking at the code, you might have found a regression.

To work around that, define your own addIn.
Take a look at https://gist.github.com/carlosrusso/...bda4678f716406
Add the file "urlMarker2.js" as an external javascript resource of your dashboard and paste the snippet under preExecution.js to the preExecution callback of your instance of NewMapComponent.

Let me know how it went, I did not bother to test the code.

Hey crusso,

Perfect =), you are missing a "s" in your code, setAddInOption got an error and corrected it to setAddInOptions.

Thank you very much!!!

Good to know that you got it working!
Now, could you please report a bug in Pentaho's bug tracker under the project "Community Dashboard Editor (CDE)" http://jira.pentaho.com/browse/CDE ?

The screenshots you sent would be helpful to illustrate what should be happening but isn't.
If you upload a sample dashboard with some dummy data, it may increase the priority on the bug.

[Erdnusse]

I'm trying but cant figure out where to post the screenshots.

[Erdnusse]

Found it , never mind :d
