Some fields are missing

The Problem

Sometimes you may face a situation when in the Content interface of the MapEx some fields are not displayed:

  • Custom Pin Image
  • Custom Pin Anchor X
  • Custom Pin Anchor Y

These fields are marked on the following screenshot: Map Widget Missing Custom Fields

This happens, because MapEx uses the Widgetkit for rendering, and Widgetkit sometimes doesn't show all the required fields. Probably it's a bug of some versions of the Widgetkit.

Solution

Unfortunately, this problem can't be solved by the MapEx. You have 2 options how to solve this problem:

  • Upgrade the Widgetkit to a newer version
  • Add the fields manually (recommended)

How to manage fields

There's a button Manage Fields In the Content interface at the bottom of the page. If you click it, then you will see a button to add a New Field, see the screenshot below:

You will need to add a new field using this button for every field that is missing. For each field you will need to enter label, name and type according to the specification below.
