Hi all,
i have a small tour, a map, and map pins with text. Works ok, but...

The map pint text appears below all pins. See pic.

I already have played around with z-index of pin text and map pins, no success. What can i do to swhow the text of the current map pin ABOVE all other pins?

The tour is... http://360.haifischbar.de/panoramen/bei ... index.html

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I think the easiest way is just to use a floating tooltip.


Here's a sample map with a number of markers and a floating tooltip.

If you are not familiar with floating tooltips there is a step-by-step description on how to make one at the end of this tutorial https://tonyredhead.com/pano2vr/polygon-hotspots-proxy

Hopki also describes how to make a floating tooltip in this Webinar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TBsVx4VNTY&t=369s


Note: In my example, I've set the Z-index of the floating thumbnail to 99 and the map and markers to -1

cheers,

Tony

I did it, and it is soooo simple...

i have set the z-index of map_pin_tt to 9999, and both map_pin_normal and map_pin_active to z-index 9998.

Hi guys,
The way to do this is to use Pin Order as found in the map element.
Normally bottom to top solves this issue but may not be the answer to all, so adjusting Z-Index for the text box is the next best option.

Hi Hopki,
i found the old postings here that hinted to use the pin order. But ... nowhere in the map element i found a pin order property. Maybe my german localisation is translated misleading. Or what am i missing?

Hi Chris,

The pin order options are in the dropdown menu Kartenstecknadeln Reihenfolge.


cheers,

Yep found it. Has been "lost in translation"

But ... Top to Bottom/Oben nach Unten hides the tooltip text below the other pins. Bottom to Top/Unten nach Oben will show the map_pin_tt as desired.

And i got rid of the ugly z-index solution.

Thank you!
