no, sorry.

The style is completely controlled by layer configuration.

Thanks.

Thanks!

I will speak frankly: I have good and bad news regarding the future of GeoContent, good new first:

I’ve started the development of the next generation GeoContent component, it’s 80% new code because Joomla 1.6 changed a lot of internal functions and I took this occasion to completely rewrite most of the source code of the original GeoContent component.

The new component will have all of the old functionality plus:

full Joomla 1.6 ACL support
Google Maps API version 3
OpenLayers map viewer (OSM and Bing layers in addition to Google)
better front-end integration
better configuration options

This new version is in advanced development stage but still lacks GPX import and it’s completely untested: not ready for release. I hope that I will find the time to complete and release it within the next 2-3 months but I’m still unsure I will succeed.

Now the bad news.

GeoContent is a complex and niche component, we sold a very limited amount of assistance/licence 45 € packs (gross price: net is about 37 €) and we spent a lot of development time on it. To make it short: we are very far from recovering the bare development costs. This means that I can only develop this component in my spare time, which is deadly scarce lately.

We are still in doubt if this new component will be released as a GeoContent update or as a brand new component, changes at the DB level were also necessary and supporting migrations from the old component would be another development and assistance cost.

If we look at GeoContent from the businessmen point of view we should just discontinue the product.

So, if you (or any other GeoContent user) feels like this component is important for you, perhaps you could consider donating some money to this task, this would certainly accelerate the release since I would be able do dedicate some payed working hours to the project.

I don’t like asking for money (I have enough payed projects at this time) so I didn’t send a (small) mass mail to all GeoContent users, should I ?

Let me know your opinion.

UPDATE: the new version for Joomla! 1.7.x is currently under testing and will be release soon!

we are thinking about a 1.6 release, but we are still in the project phase, we would like to change a lot of things (moving to openlayers being the most important).

First of all, thank you very much for this awesome component!!
It’s just the solution, I was always looking for.

Are you planning to release a J 1.6 compatible version in a foreseeable time?

Many thanks and br,
