Changelog

0.2 (2010-10-31)

• Removed zgeo.kml dependency

• Removed Large Plone Folder configurations

• Added ability to select what content properties to display either in the Control Panel or on a per-content basis. Properties can be changed at will and likewise reordered as required. [rockdj]

• Display a Collection’s saved rich text on the KML view, if it exists. [rockdj]

• Retrieve default customised styles from those set in the site’s control panel. [rockdj]

• Moved the link to the given content in the KML view to be the title. [rockdj]

• Added further unit tests to test the KML document view (in conjunction with testing customised styles) [rockdj]

• Added ability to display custom styles for content in the KML-openlayers view, with the styles managed through the relevant annotation. [rockdj]

• Added standard above-content elements to the KML-openlayers view (byline, description, etc). [rockdj]

• Updated the kml_openlayers.js Javascript to handle the case of accessing the KML-openlayers view directly. [rockdj]

• Changed KML links to content to point to the content’s View action if their portal type is set that way in the Site Properties. This follows in the same manner as views like the Folder Summary View. [rockdj]

• Added dc object to BrainPlacemark to allow access to original content item in KML view. This allows direct access to the content’s methods and properties (eg for image display, see below) [rockdj]

• Allowed KML feature/placemark description to display image thumbnail if the content possesses such (eg Images and News Items). Images are displayed in same style as that of the Folder Summary View. [rockdj]

• Added extra metadata into KML feature/placemark output (item type, modification date, creation date) [rockdj]

• Changed KML output to exclude feature/placemark description tag on no content description being present. [rockdj]

• Added uninstall GenericSetup profile [rockdj]

• Added action for downloading KML to desktop (for Google Earth or other applications) [rockdj]

• Added ability to set marker image size in control panel [rockdj]

• Allowed for marker image not have to be in the hard-coded /img/ directory. This allows for custom markers to be specified anywhere in Plone. img/marker.png is set as default to keep things the same. [rockdj]

• Changed linewidth to be able to accept float values. [rockdj]

• Integrated zgeo.plone.kml package.

• Updated the kml_openlayers.js Javascript to use the current URL’s context to access @@kml-document. Accessing this in a relative manner represents problems for URLs being rewritten in a proxy (eg Deliverance). [rockdj]

• Renamed Kml Layer

0.1 (2009-06-19)
