Vector Icon Bug about mscrmtools.sitemapeditor HOT 14 CLOSED

@ArtKarp could you illustrate with a screenshot?

As for the icon not saved or uploaded, SiteMapEditor does not save or upload web resources. You need to add them separatly (using WebresourcesManager for example)

from mscrmtools.sitemapeditor.

The bug is that the xml isn't being saved by the editor. In fact, if you select a vector icon and then click to another sub area and back again, the vector field is now blank.

When you input a SVG web resource for a URL type of subarea this line is never uploaded to the server or exported to a file. If I manually add it to the xml file, open the file in SM editor and then upload it WITHOUT changing anything. The icon shows up as expected. When it is blank all you get is a clipboard icon.

This property is missing from the sitemap xml:
VectorIcon="/WebResources/evx_/Common/Images/Nav_WebPageLink.svg"

If this doesn't explain it, I am happy to schedule a conference call with you anytime.

As a side note, your editor uploads encoded URLs correctly and they work. The model SM editor, removes all the encoding which makes the URL invalid. The encoding is required when you use a "Data=" parameter. So getting a working URL WITH an icon, currently, is a huge pain... 😭

Thank you very much for all these details. I will fix this issue

Great! Thank you.

@ArtKarp Could you test with this version?

MsCrmTools.SiteMapEditor.zip

from mscrmtools.sitemapeditor.

Sure. Where do I install the dll?

from mscrmtools.sitemapeditor.

I copied the dll to here:
C:\Users<myname>\AppData\Roaming\MscrmTools\XrmToolBox\Plugins

Any other steps needed? How do I verify that the new dll is being used within toolbox?

I tried loading a sitemap from an online org and also importing a sitemap file. Both have a vector icon, but neither show up in the Vector Icon field for the sub area.

from mscrmtools.sitemapeditor.

I see the version on the main tools menu as SiteMap 1.2020.6.13. This matches the DLL product version. However, when I test it, I don't see any change. The problem is still as I described above. If it would help, I am happy to schedule a Zoom meeting.

One other note. In testing today, I download a model app site map, not the default one. However, it seems that when I upload my custom model sitemap, it is overwriting the default one, not the custom one I downloaded.

from mscrmtools.sitemapeditor.

Just touching base on this. Any updates?
Thanks

Hi! no news so far.
I need to find time to work on this. Not easy these days

from mscrmtools.sitemapeditor.

For anyone else trying to use/show SVGs for SiteMap URL links here is the workaround I have found to make this work:

1. Connect to the org and Load SiteMap
2. Save SiteMap
3. Open and Edit the saved XML file (Notepad ++). Set the menu option "VectorIcon" URL to the web resource that you want to use

For example: VectorIcon="/WebResources/new_/Common/Images/MyGreatImage.svg"
("new" is used for example only)

4. Save the edited XML file
5. In the editor, choose Open SiteMap to load the edited xml file
6. Then, Update SiteMap to upload your changes

Note: Don't edit anything in the editor while following this process.
