I've got a clean install 4.11.5 which I have also installed uComponents on. I can install the Google DataType withoyut any problems, however it does not render the Render Control in the backend.
I have tried adding the <appSettings> fix along with deleting the client dependancy files, however this has made no difference.
Yes we're using 2.0.6. Absolutwely nothing is rendering for the Render Control i.e. the dropdown list of possible controls for the datatype. Usually of course Google Maps is in the list - in this instance it just doesnt exist.
I havent actually got as far as adding the datatype to a document type because in the backend the Google Map datatype doesnt even list the correct Render Control.
I've just set-up a fresh v4.11.5 site and installed Google Maps (v2.0.6) - which automatically created a Data Type item (called "Google Map"), which worked as expected.
Then I installed latest uComponents (v5.4.1) - to check if that had any impact - but everything works as expected.
I have a long-shot idea... In the Prevalue Editor (e.g. when you click on a Data Type item), view-source on the (framed) page. Check the HTML for the <select> dropdown (id="body_ddlRenderControl") ... is there an exception/error message in there?
Are you using any other plugins/packages? (My gut feeling is that another data-type may be using the same Guid as the Google Maps one)
I've just had a look at the packages we have installed. uComponents 5.4.1, Digibiz Advanced Media Picker 2.5, FamFamFam Icon Package 1, Standard Values 1.4 and Google Maps for umbraco 1.4.
Is there anyway of checking whether another data-type is using the same Guid? I would have thought that was highly unlikely?
I've viewed the source for the editDataType frame and there are absolutely no errors of any kind listed in FireBug.
Just throwing this out there just in case - did you check to make sure the dll made it to the bin directory during the package installation? It should be /bin/Our.Umbraco.GoogleMaps.dll.
Render Control not showing in backend
Hi all,
I've got a clean install 4.11.5 which I have also installed uComponents on. I can install the Google DataType withoyut any problems, however it does not render the Render Control in the backend.
I have tried adding the <appSettings> fix along with deleting the client dependancy files, however this has made no difference.
Does anyone have any suggested fixes?
Thanks in advance
Al
Hi Al,
Thanks for reporting this. Which version of the Google Maps package are you using? (guessing the latest - v2.0.6?)
Is anything rendering for the data-type, or just the map is missing? Do you get any JavaScript errors?
I don't think uComponents should impact this, but worth knowing which other data-types that you are using on the same doc-type/tab.
Any info that could help me pinpoint the issue is useful.
Thanks, Lee.

Dos that make sense?

Lee - you won't believe it, that was the problem! How the heck can tha be possible? Insufficient rights on the bin folder?
Thanks
