Thanks, I am aware of this bug. It's due to misuse of an id that should be a class. I've got it fixed in a development branch where I am updating the map view to use google maps version 3. I should have it up at trunk.simile-widgets.org relatively soon. On 12/21/2011 1:02 PM, Tatiana

[Simile-Widgets] new version of map extension with gmap v3

2011-12-22 Thread David Karger
I've just placed at trunk.simile-widgets.org an alpha release of a new version of the exhibit map extension with two significant improvements: 1. It uses version 3 of google maps (so no longer requires an api key) 2. When possible, it generates its icons itself (using javascript canvas)

Barry, exhibit is perfectly happy putting two timelines into a single page; you just place a separate view tag for each one. You can include more than one data link in an exhibit, thus pulling from multiple sources. Exhibit also has a notion of collections; you can specify a certain subset

Hi John. The proposed 2.3 is intended to be fully backward compatible with 2.2 Exhibits defined using html. ie, all the exhibit html tags should produce exactly the same behavior in 2.3 as in 2.2. If they don't, it's a bug. I have added a few new tags/functionality for data import. But

Martin, looking at your examples, I do see the custom icons on the map, just not on the legend. As you say, there is a color legend as well as an icon legend. I'll have to check, but this may be because you are color-coding the _paths_ in the map, even though you are icon coding the _markers_.

I had no problem seeing the icons (on firefox). It's just that since the default icon shape is circular and the pins don't match your icons' pins, you get some odd little stuff in the margins that I think will go away if you set the shape to square. I see the IE8 problem you mention also
