Hi David, If I'm reading things correctly, unfortunately, that's not a generic solution as it requires specific technology from your ISP which mine unfortunately, doesn't support.
I think I'll need to investigate the thread where a client side painter was posted as that seems like the only viable alternative. The MIT painter URL is still down and has broken the app I've been working on so I need to seek another solution. -Steve On Dec 19, 11:21 am, David Huynh <[email protected]> wrote: > Robert Forkel wrote: > > hi, > > i took the opportunity today - simile.mit.edu being down - to get > > exhibit plus timeline and maps extension to run independent of > > simile.mit.edu. > > while the necessary changes in the source code to work around hard > > coded paths were pretty minimal (i have to clean up my code before it > > can serve as a tutorial), the problem with the painter script was > > harder. the map extension call a script running on simile.mit.edu to > > create dynamic map markers on the fly. > > i first replaced that script with a pretty basic python cgi script > > using PIL to create rather primitive markers, but then found the > > javascript here: > >http://gmaps-utility-library.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/mapiconmaker/re... > > which i simply substituted for the Exhibit.MapView._makeIcon function. > > the only thing left to do now is replacing the calls to the painter > > script used for the markers in the map legend. > > regards, > > robert > > In case you still want to use "painter", then you can host it yourself > at some URL and then tell Exhibit to use that service URL: > > http://groups.google.com/group/simile-widgets/browse_thread/thread/84... > <http://groups.google.com/group/simile-widgets/browse_thread/thread/84...> > > David --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SIMILE Widgets" group.
