This is a Sitecore 9.2+ supported module which installs a Bing Map rendering to be used throughout your website. Easily manage pushpin locations directly through the Content Editor. There or no third-party requirements necessary — install and run.
Download the latest release package for your Sitecore version and upload it via the Installation Wizard which can be found under the Development Tools option while viewing the Sitecore Desktop.
The rendering to be used on your layout can be found in /sitecore/layout/Renderings/Modules/MapPlugin/Map Plugin
and its datasource template is located in
/sitecore/templates/Modules/MapPlugin/Map Plugin
Create / add your Bing Maps Key by going to /sitecore/system/Settings/Map Plugin
Everyone's environment is different and we have considered that in the architecture of this module. The datasource can live where ever you see fit — on the item context itself; or located somewhere as a reusable component.
The Map Plugin data template consumes PushPin locations using another template called Map Plugin Pin which is located in /sitecore/templates/Modules/MapPlugin/Map Plugin Pin
This template further defines the properties of each pushpin location that will be included on your map.
*Each Map Plugin Pin item must get added to the corresponding Map Plugin's field Map Plugin Pins
The map plugin frontend view can be customized entirely by modifying /Views/MapPlugin/Index.cshtml in your webroot. The CSS for this project has been namespaced using the class name*.map-plugin*
Since the CSS is namespaced accordingly, overriding the look and feel is as easy as loading your custom stylesheet after ours.
Help keep this project healthy by contributing bug fixes and new features. Below are a list of pull request guidelines and steps to get started developing locally.
We will name the obvious - in order to contribute you must have a Sitecore installation to test with. This way you'll be able to test your code changes.
After pulling down this repo locally and opening the solution be sure to "Restore NuGet Packages." In doing so, the project will be able to use the required Sitecore DLL references properly. Clean and Rebuild.
We've included Sitecore items that help manage the module from the Content Editor. In order to introduce these items to your environment you must update your database with serialized items from the filesystem.
Configure Serialization
In order to maintain the same data format across developers ensure "YAML" is configured in \App_Config\Sitecore\CMS.Core\Sitecore.Serialization.configon Line 37:
<setting name="Serialization.SerializationType" value="YAML" />
Get Latest
Copy and paste the serialized items from src\Feature\MapPlugin\code\App_Data\serialization and place them in your webroot. Navigate to the Content Editor and click the "Developer" tab in the ribbon. If you do not see this then right-click any other tab and enable the Developer option. Click "Update database."
Sync updates
Go to the item or parent item (tree) and click "Update item," or "Update tree," respectively. This will move items to your serialization folder. Drag these items into the repo to be committed.
We chose to manage items in this way to prevent the use of additional third-party plugins or modules.
In order to maintain usability across various environments all Sitecore items introduced or modified should only be defined in the following locations:
| Templates | /sitecore/templates/Modules/MapPlugin |
| Renderings | /sitecore/layout/Renderings/Modules/MapPlugin |
| Layouts | /sitecore/layout/Layouts/Modules/Map Plugin |
| CSS & JS | ..\sitecore modules\Liquid\MapPlugin\ |
| Views | ..\Views\MapPlugin\ |
