    - Order update issue Thank you, Shai! The solution is to get the current order with getOrders (note that there is no getOrder!!!; you get all of them and look up for the one you are interested in!), modify the fields you are interested in and resubmit the order(s) using updateOrders. We need the pause/resume ability at the orderitem level, as well. Thank you again, Orest Tag: Checking if a VELatLong & Zoom has a BirdseyeScene?

    - Pushpin anchor? This is what I have working on my side. On my first attempt i wasn't setting the Offset as a VEPixel which did not throw any errors, but didn't work either. See if any larger pixel settings change the images location visibly at all. Code Block var CI90 = new VECustomIconSpecification(); CI90.ImageOffset = new VEPixel(6,5); CI90.Image = 'images/greencross.gif'; CI90.TextContent = ' '; expShape = new VEShape(VEShapeType.Pushpin, expPoint); expShape.SetCustomIcon(CI90); expLayer.AddShape(expShape); Tag: Checking if a VELatLong & Zoom has a BirdseyeScene?

    - Why does FindLocation give an error I thought of that but the error box is not the same as the results box. If I define a handling function it does not get control unless I pass it a place that returns multiple choices. What is also a problem is if I pass a unique town name "EAUZE, FRANCE" it get two results : Eauze (third-order administrative division), Gers, Midi-Pyrenees, France Eauze, Gers, Midi-Pyrenees, France Selecting either of them returns the same two choices !

    - Embed small mashup - overlay is quite large... Hi, I've made a very small mashup that takes some images from my flickr account and makes a grid of them. I then put them into a web page: http://d0.phys.washington.edu/~gwatts/test.html As you can see, Popfly puts up a small overlay. Since this mashup is designed to be quite small, that overlay is, well, large and rather distracting. I understand why it is there. Is there any thing I can do -> Make it disappear until the user mouses-over -> Just make it gone -> Make it smaller for this small mashup Many thanks! Cheers, Gordon.

    - Suggestion: rename "Find Users" Suggestion: Rename “Find Users” on the main banner menu to something more flattering/engaging, such as Find Coders, Find Builders, Find Popflies, Find Friends, etc. Also, I didn't realize there was a friends capability until I got an email from a coworker asking to link up in Popfly. Once I knew it was in there somewhere, it took me awhile to discover that the “add friends” (distinct from invite friends) capability was buried in “Find Users”. I kept looking for it in My Profile or one of the other left sidebar menus under my account. -Danny Tag: Checking if a VELatLong & Zoom has a BirdseyeScene?

    - Pushpin icon offset in v5 This is what I'm doing, and while the CSS does move the icon, the rest of VE doesn't seem to realize it's moved. Hence the popup box pointing to where the icon would be if it hadn't moved, as well as the green dots that appear over it on hover. Any thoughts as to how one can tell VE that the icon is not centered on its middle Tag: Checking if a VELatLong & Zoom has a BirdseyeScene?

I've seen lots of references to this: Microsoft Announce Intermap Technologies for highly accurate and up-to-date elevation data for all of Great Britain but nowhere can I see what this high resoluton actually equates to on the ground (or what is replacing and therefore how much better it is) Does anyone know Thanks Tag: Checking if a VELatLong & Zoom has a BirdseyeScene?

    - Retrieving Lat & Lon from an address without a map You can of course hide the map, defining the div as: <div id="map" style="display: none;"></div> The user still has to load the map etc (so it will take some time to load) but you can use the Find method :-) Tag: Checking if a VELatLong & Zoom has a BirdseyeScene?

    - Tilesource Doesn't show in 3D Static tiles, I am not certain, however these were the common scenarios I found in my research : 1. Make sure that you use the VE friendly method for setting the tilesource (look at my sample code above for the method that works). The older method doesn't work due to some problem with calling javascript functions from the viewer control. 2. Make sure that your Z-Order is greater than 0. Most people default to 100. 3. Make sure there are no spaces in your tile source name or characters that use the % sign. When in doubt, write a bare bones version of your html and see if it works.

Is there a way to check whether a particular VELatLong combined with a zoom level has a BirdseyeScene available

Ideally, I'd like to parse my database results of VELatLong coordinates and build a grid of BirdseyeScene thumbnails, but it appears you can only check for a BirdseyeScene for where the map is centered.

Re: Checking if a VELatLong & Zoom has a BirdseyeScene?

SoulSolutions

Yeah it appears to only be based on the centre of the map.

In fact they are very strict about the usage of the birdseye images, for example i was not aware unitl recently that your not allowed to print them! (see 5.10)

Re: Checking if a VELatLong & Zoom has a BirdseyeScene?

Derek Chan

There's a VEMap.IsBirdseyeAvailable method for you to find out if you have birds eye or not at your current view. Keep in mind the map zoom must be less than 12.

Hope that helps,
