TOPIC: Custom marker only show after zoom

Hello,

I have a problem with showing a marker on my map.
I have one category, and all "normal" markers are show correctly on the map. The marker is defined in the categorie.

Some hotspots (in the same category) are different so I want to use there a different marker. For this I have added my marker to the samples folder:
media/com_hotspots/images/categories/sample
And in the hotspot setting i use "custom marker" and select my hotspot image.

The problem is, that the hotspot didn´t show in the starting map:
www.canoeguide.net/kanutouren-in-deutschland#!/catid=1

The markers (a yellow one) did´t show, only the category markers. But if you zoom in the yellow markers also shown up. You can see for example one around Munich and one close to the lake of constance.

I know that there are problems with marker without defined shodow. Maybe this is the problem / bug. But where I can definded shadows for custom markers?

I recognize also this:
- The problem appeard after I had added a new hotspot (in the categorie). Before also the custom markers showed up correctly. But now not any more

- It still works i other categories with the custom marker. See Finnland for example:
www.canoeguide.net/finland#!/catid=3

Does anybody can help me with that?

Thanks a lot

Holger

Hey Holger!
I love your avatar

The problem is that you didn't read the documentation Have a look at the scaling for large databases section.

You have 2 options -> enable the tiles or since you still have not that much locations -> put a larger limit. ( but just read the docs first -> everything is explained there)

Hello Daniel,

RTFM. Well, this is one of my favourite sentence ... but you say it much nicer.

Thanks a lot, now is all looking fine.
