Can't add venue "Indo" to the right place

I'm trying to add the venue Indo in Whitechapel, London, UK but every time I do it gets the wrong location and puts the place half a km east of where it is on the map.

A comment on the question "How can I make a property for custom control?" in Altio:

Yes I got your email thanks Sergey. It looks like there is an error in your controls.xml in the custom control jar you sent me. The property definitions for your runtime properties are appearing outside of your properties node. The designer will ignore these elements unless they are inside the properties node. I'll email you the correction. – Tom Martin, on October 05, 2009 15:14

Any chance you could email me a copy of the custom control so I can check it out Sergey? support@altio.com – Tom Martin, on October 05, 2009 14:23

Sorry it looks like I missed a step. You also need to set the GET attribute property to the runtime name you want the property to have. Generally as a convention we set this to the same as the NM attribute but lower case.

< PROPERTY ATTRTYPE="General" CAPTION="Is active part selected?" CTRLTYPE="TEXT" REQUIRED="N" NM="ACTIVE" DESIGN="N" GET="active" />

Hi Sergey,

You need to add the DESIGN attribute, set to N to your property definition in your controls.xml file. For example:

< PROPERTY ATTRTYPE="General" CAPTION="Is active part selected?" CTRLTYPE="TEXT" REQUIRED="N" NM="ACTIVE" DESIGN="N" GET="active" />

Yes, you can create a window and then set it to have no skin.
Each window has a Show Skin property and you can set this to "N" to hide the skin.

Be aware that this has other side effects, obviously the user won't be able to move the window anymore but they'll also be unable to resize it as well.

A work around, if you want the user to resize the window, would be to create a very simple skin, perhaps a 1 pixel line border or a simple drop shadow (most regions in the skin must have at least 1x1 dimensions or Altio won't accept it as a valid skin when you try to use it.

Thanks. Until then I'll take the WAR generated by the installer.

How can I obtain a WAR file for Altio 5.2?

How can I obtain a WAR file for Altio 5.2 for deployment on a server container other than Tomcat rather than using the AltioLive installer on the download page?

Why do you find it disturbing to find information you provided to a public profile being made public? If you have something to hide or a reason to desire such anonymity then you should be more careful with volunteering this data. And you should be aware that once you have published the data, it will be cached elsewhere by third party sites (not just Google) completely beyond Pownce's control.
