Map location icon

[oley]

Hi,

I do not understand how to set custom icons for the map plugin locations.
I have my custom icon(s) in c:\Program Files\SCADA\ScadaWeb\wwwroot\plugins\Map\images\
pv-icon-error.png
pv-icon-normal.png
pv-icon-unbound.png
pv-icon-undefined.png

In my view I have:

<Location>
<Name>Test</Name>
<Descr></Descr>
<Icon>pv-icon-{status}</Icon>
<Lat>54.4213</Lat>
<Lon>21.174</Lon>
<StatusCnlNum>0</StatusCnlNum>
<Links>
<Link viewID=”281″ />
</Links>
</Location>

I tried different name schemes in Icon tag (with and without extension), but the map shows only standard markers.

Best regards

Hi,
Custom icons are configured in PlgMap.xml. Then they can be used in map views. Use the existing Site icon as an example.

Hi,

thank you, it works like a charm, but…
Every upload of the configuration rewrite my PlgMap.xml file.
What to do to prevent this?

[Mikhail]

Hi,
PlgMap.xml must be located in the project as a part of it.

Hi,

of course. Now it works fine. Thanks.

Hi,

I have some other questions according the state.
In the documentation I read:

Icons of the Classic type icons are based on an image file. The file name has a suffix corresponding to the object status: undefined, normal, error, and unbound (the status is not bound to a channel).

Than later:

StatusCnlNum – the number of the input channel that shows the object status. Equals 0 if the channel is not specified. Valid channel data: channel status equal to 0 means that the object status is not defined, channel value equal to 0 means the object is normal, channel value equal to 1 means the object is in an error state;

So I have to define a channel to visualize the status?
When the unbound icon is displayed?

[Mikhail]

Hi,
You can see it in Live Demo.
Blue marker is unbound, while green (or red) marker is bound to a channel.
Yes, a channel is needed to define marker status.

For example,

    <Location>
      <Name>Eiffel Tower</Name>
      <Descr>Avenue Anatole France, Paris, France</Descr>
      <Icon></Icon>
      <Lat>48.858222</Lat>
      <Lon>2.2945</Lon>
      <StatusCnlNum>104</StatusCnlNum>
      <DataItems>
        <DataItem cnlNum="101" />
        <DataItem cnlNum="105">My text</DataItem>
      </DataItems>
      <Links>
        <Link viewID="2" />
        <Link viewID="2">My link</Link>
      </Links>
    </Location>

Hi,

I can not set the undefined icon.
Status channel equals 1 (and every positive) shows error icon, 0 and -1 (or any negative) shows normal.

[Mikhail]

Hi,
From the manual: Valid channel data: channel status equal to 0 means that the object status is not defined, channel value equal to 0 means the object is normal, channel value equal to 1 means the object is in an error state

So you need to set the channel status to undefined (0).

[Mikhail]

Channel data contains value and status.
