David:

Is there any update on the current ability or potential for future functionality to use numbered markers for maps in Exhibit. This feature would make the maps much more functional for end users by making it easier for people to identify which markers are associated with which items. Thank you.

However here's what I've done.

1. I received a microsoft-works .wdb file with 438 contacts. Each contact has
name, address, city, zip, food basket size and telephone number.

2. I converted this file to .csv

3. I wrote a Python script that uses geopy to geocode the addresses, and
simplejson to write out the .js file

You know you can get Exhibit to automate geocoding, too, right?...

4. My .html file is shown below.

The things I need to do are:

1. customize the Tile view to show only a few elements from each item.

Look at the source code of

    http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit/examples/presidents/presidents.html

and search for

        ex:role="exhibit-lens"

That specifies the lens template in the tile view. It's outside the tile view and is actually used anywhere where an item needs to be rendered but there's no specialized lens template.


2. default to "non selected" when first loading the page so that no items are
shown.

Not sure what you meant...

3. in the map view, I would like to put a number into each marker, and also put the number and some basic information about that item in the legend below the
map.

Unfortunately that's not possible at the moment. How badly do you need that?
