Installation Instructions

Preparations

  • Check that the requirements are met.
  • Follow internal Lime Technologies documentation on how to create correct Google API keys to use.

Installation

  1. If not cloud shared: Add limepkg-maps as a dependency in the solution.
  2. Go to Settings->Maps->Setup in Lime Admin to get the necessary fields created on all limetypes where coordinates are supposed to be stored.
  3. Follow the configuration instructions.

Fields Necessary to Store Coordinates

For each limetype you want to save the coordinates of a location for, you need to have the following fields:

Name Type Length
maps_longitude decimal
maps_latitude decimal
maps_query string 5121
maps_lastcoordinatequery string 5121

These fields can be created in Lime Admin by using the addons installer (see picture below). Go to "Settings" -> "Maps" -> "Setup". Add all limetypes to install the fields on and click "Check installation". Follow the further instructions there. If by some reason it fails the manual alternative is to create the fields in LISA.

  1. The length of these fields should be atleast 512 characters long, but since the fields will contain the combination of a number of query fields, it needs to be at least as long as the sum of lengths of those fields plus a number of spaces to combine them. ↩↩
