Hi Daniel,

I do my development using Chome, and then do some tests using Internet Explorer, because, well, IE doesn't play nicely. So it was a bit of a shock to see that this was caused by an unresolved Firefox bug

Have now released 1.0.8, which fixes this. And a big Thank you for reporting this, you are really helping in making this package better.

Cheers

Jonathan

This is an awecome package! Can you please tell me - I installed this via NuGet - if I can simply overwrite the 1.0.7 package?

Many thanks! Daniel

Sure can, using Nuget to upgrade Terratype is a doddle.

Hi Jonathan!

I've just had some more time to work on my mother's website. I was able to run the NuGet update manager and update to 1.0.8 version. Thank you for fixing the issues with the Firefox drop down values!

Can you confirm, that if I go into the Developer Section / DataType / Terratype Map ...that I can update those values? Or do I need to recreate the datatype in order to change those values?

What's happening is that, when I first created the datatype, I used "Retro" as the map style. But now I think it would look better to use the "Standard" map style. But when I hit save, it goes back to the Retro version.

Sorry if I'm being a pain. I just want to be sure that I will need to recreate the datatype, or if I should be able to make changes here.

Many thanks for your help! Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Sorry, I'm unable to replicate your error. Yes you should be able to change the styling at anytime.

This is a short video of me creating a new datatype, creating new content using this datatype and then me changing the styling multiple times in Firefox

My only wonder, is if your datatype has become corrupt in some way, if you change the debugger setting at the bottom of the datatype to show Json, this will display the underlying configuration that your datatype is using. If you post that here, I can copy and paste and recreate the same Terratype datatype as you have.

Cheers

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan!

I've got another window to work on this! Thank you very much for posting the video of your copy of Terratype! ...mine is clearly not behaving correctly. lol

Here is my Json ...hope it helps you help me. :-D

Many thanks, Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Here is another Gif of me taking your json above and using it to create a new terratype datatype, the only thing I had to changed was your apiKey and I switched to using mine instead. And as you can see I proceed to change the styling without incidence.

I do wonder, when you try and change the styling, what it actually the issue. Do you only see retro in the list, or can you pick other styles, but the map never changes. Do you see an console error in Firefox, when you try and change styling. Press F12 inside Firefox and the developer tools should appear, select console

My other thought, is is there some option buried in the Google Console API (This is the thing you have to use to create an ApiKey), I had a quick 5 minute look and I couldn't see anything to click that can switch on/off map styles

If you get chance to have a look, I would be very grateful.

Cheers

Jonathan
