Using 5.1 beta 2

The goal: automated tooltips in a map and multilanguage support

What works: Create a markertemplate with a textbox and $ut to show the name of the targeted pano in the map as a tooltip.

What doesn't work: Use the markertemplate with a textbox and a logic block with variables for the language. In this case the textbox stays empty.

Why? To me this looks like a bug.

Hi,
Please see attached project.
Do as you would normally with dragging the markertemplate onto the map creating node markers.
Once they are all set go into one of the node marker tooltip text boxes and add the extra the languages.
In version 5.1 you can then click the copy button, then select the other tooltip text boxes and then with the others all selected open one and copy in the text logic. This will add it to all the selected text boxes.
You just then need to correct the text to be displayed in each box.

The attached is also using a text variable, en and de.
Regards,
Hopki

Well, that speeds up the process but is not really satisfying.
In an ideal world no manual adding of node names should be necessary when they are already in the system.

Not only is it more work to create, also when the customer later decides to change the names this will add just another location that has to be edited which generates more work and likely more errors.
