private data layers not handling images included with kmz #487

Open perrygeo opened 12 years ago

perrygeo commented 12 years ago

When a kmz includes image files as well as the doc.kml file, the images are not found when the kmz is loaded as a private data layer.

As an example, a layer that works fine when accessed by the public data layer kml through cloudfront (such as SeabirdColonyNew.kmz - see attached) can be downloaded and then viewed through Google Earth client just fine. But when this same kmz is loaded as a private data layer the images are not found by the kml (red x's are the result).

My temporary solution has been to load the kmz onto cloudfront, create a simple kml that refers to that cloudfront url, and upload that simple kml as the private layer.
This solution works well enough until we want to ensure that the data is truly private (rather than publicly available (albeit somewhat anonymous) through cloudfront).

This is likely not a marinemap issue. Might be worth posting the file to the earth api bug tracker.

I think it's possible my original report was misconstrued. I'm restating the problem here in what I hope will be clearer language...

When I upload the attached file, SeabirdColonyNew.kmz, to Oregon Marinemap (as a kmz upload), red x's (trade-mark ge red x in a box) appear in place of the image icons.

The correct icon images do not appear until the kml folder is opened/expanded to show its contents, after which the folder can be opened/closed, turned on/off, and the icons images remain.

When the application is refreshed with the seabird colony folder closed, the refreshed application returns to the red x display until the folder is opened again.

I'm certainly not volunteering to work on this as I'm pretty busy with OceanPlanner, but let me know if you need commit permissions on the kmltree project. I believe kmltree will resolve relative links to assets like images (at least it will for networklinks), so checking out where that url resolution process is happening could be a good starting point.
