Quick start

Go to https://our.umbraco.org/projects/website-utilities/mapbuilder/ and download the package.

Then go to your backoffice > Developer > Packages > Install local package, and install it as usual. Accept when you're told that the package contains binary files.

After the installation completes, go to the new custom section and setup a datasource (if you don't see the new section, go to the Users section and enable it for yourself and any others that need access). After you've created a datasource, create a new map, and set its datasource to the newly created one.

Go to the map and copy the alias. We need this for the next part.

When you're all set in the custom section, go to the view where you wish for the map to be showed. Use @Html.RenderMap(MAPALIAS), and that's it.

Public methods

The methods available for use is:

public static MvcHtmlString RenderMap(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string mapAlias)

public static MvcHtmlString RenderMap(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string mapAlias, List<int> nodeIds)

public static MvcHtmlString RenderMap(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string mapAlias, List<int> nodeIds, string titleProperty, string coordsProperty)

Each of the methods has inline summaries of what is expected from them.

Requirements

Umbraco 7.4+

It MAY work in earlier versions, but this has not been tested.
