Adjusting the resource file really only lets you change the layout of the physical module itself. GoMap actually provides the ability to populate the data into any defined control on the web page. Meaning, you can place the search in a text/html module in one pane, the map in a central pane, and the directory in yet another pane. You can follow along in our Tutorials for handling this - Check out the Directory Tutorial, your topic is covered in Part 3

Hi Kevin,
A couple questions:

1. Will a token be available, in the future, for a dropdown box? I ask because my users probably won't know the address, but rather the area that they are interested in.

Example dropdown text and values:
Duluth, MN  (Duluth)
Minneapolis, MN  (Minneapolis)

2. When you created the csv file, what was the procedure? I noticed that you have timerInfo - where did it come from? The only thing I can think of is that you manually generated map points and then exported the table to Excel.

TIA
Buck

The token availability for Dropdown, i believe, already works. I will have to verify this, but, I think that if you create a Select box in html, setup the values for that option box, and then utilize the ID of the box in GoMap, it would operate just as it did with a textbox.

I'll take a look at that and see what happens.

The CSV file was generated from a table which I already had, but I can easily describe the column question. GoMap uses a specific structure for the data, meaning, there are a number of REQUIRED columns for GoMap to recognize a data object as valid for the GoMap UI. These columns are:

ID 
   Provides the primary key of the table.
Description 
   The description for the point - displayed in the Directory and onClick events.
Latitude
   The Latitude of the point on the map
Longitude
   The Longitude of the point on the map
IconIndex
   The index of the Icon as it appears in the GoMap Icons configuration
Timer
   The relative time at which to display this point. Timer values are identify how long to wait before plotting the point in the Time-Lapse mode, but is always required.
TimerInfo
   Provides the text to display within the status bar during TimeLapse mode.
Zoom
   Defines the Zoom level for which this point will begin rendering on the map. If you use multiple levels, the map will provide different points whenever the Zoom is changed.

This structure is generated on all New Tables and XML files whenever GoMap is used to create those table. Meaning, If you use the Wizard, and reach a step which identifies what Table/View to utilize, you can Create a new table or use an existing Table/View.
