New QlikView Mapping Extensions on QlikMarket

[Brian_Munz]

EDIT: These extensions are no longer maintained on QlikMarket since that is not an appropriate place for free and unsupported extensions.  I've modified the links below to point to the github repositories where I now keep them.  Also, since they're now hosted on github, feel free to make contributions to the code.

Hi everyone,

The demand for mapping in QlikView seems to be a hot topic these days, so I’ve put together two extensions that are now available on QlikMarket bearing the QlikView name.

The first one is an extension which uses SVG images to connect to the data and color and shade the regions in that image:

brianwmunz/svgReader-QV11 · GitHub

Similar to this map of US Counties:

There’s no geospatial connection here (long/lat points can’t be plotted, etc.), but it should prove useful for a lot of simple needs and uses for visualization of a geographical entity.  It comes prepackaged with 35 or so maps of countries, etc. and also offers the ability to load in your own custom SVGs for things like floor plans, seating charts, etc.

The second extension is a simple geospatial mapping extension similar to the Google Maps and various other extensions you might have seen in community:

brianwmunz/QuickMap-QV11 · GitHub

This extension simply takes geographic data (longitude/latitude points) from QlikView and draws it over a map.  It supports the drawing of dots, lines, or polygon shapes.  For example:

This doesn’t offer near the capabilities of a server based geospatial mapping solution like ESRI, GeoQlik, Idevio, etc. simply because it’s not server side, but it should be helpful for less heavy and complex mapping needs.

Anyway, I hear a lot about need for mapping so I thought I’d let everyone know.

Hello Brian,

Get this error whenever selecting a map in the properties:

My version of QVW is 11.00.11154.0

Please tell me how to fix it.

It seems to be that the $.ajax call to load the svg file is not working (locally) with the QlikView Desktop version. It runs on the QlikView Server without a problem..

Hi Brian,

in the actual version on QlikMarket is a wrong reference in line 3 of Script,js:

Qva.LoadScript("/QvAjaxZfc/../qlikmap/jquery.js

This could be a problem for older QlikView versions because jquery.js will not be loaded.

Hi,

I am trying to do something similar for Ireland, but don't have a clue how to get started.

Do you know of any material that could help me get started with this?

Thanks

Hi Alen

You need something like this?

A resum of the idea :

- First al all you need to find an svg map about Ireland counties (I suggest you to look in Wikipedia)

- Next you need to identify the id's of each poligon and let it match with your data model

- You also need to modify some files to let the extension include ireland, I think there is a readme file to help you how to introduce the changes

I have the solution for this case but don't know how to send you.

If you let me know your mail I'll send you an example.

Anyone else had any problems with this extension object in Version 11.2 SR2?  Mine appears to have stopped working,

You mean for the SVG map?  I haven't seen a problem related to 11.2 SR2 as much as IE10.  Either way, I'm working on trying to fix.
