SharePoint
Seeing as the last topic raised on this was some time ago, I thought I'd start anew.
How many people out there are integrating SharePoint with Geocortex? A few people I work with have seen very attractive solutions at seminars, with Geocortex pulling SharePoint list data out and visualising it. Can anyone advise me on how difficult this is? What the major steps involved are?
Any advice is appreciated :)

We have customers who have also requested this capability.
Ideally, display the location of a collection documents stored in sharepoint on a map and click a point on the map to open the document or display document metadata.

Ah, I think that's sort of similiar to what I had in mind. Ideally where we would like to be is points being placed on a map according to SharePoint list data - no document attaching necessary as in your scenario. I suppose either way, document or list data, you need to tie coordinates to the item for Geocortex to read.
Where's the best place to learn about the whole process? Looking through the Support Center, I haven't had much luck finding 'getting started' materials. I'm collecting bits and pieces of information though, for sure.

Perhaps embed the Viewer for HTML5 directly into Sharepoint as a web part and have it drive sharepoint list functionality from there? I haven't tried, but would be interested to figure this out.

So I've had an external consultant run through it briefly with me; here are the basic steps.
- Create a new workflow
- Using 'Download String', fetch the XML feed from the SharePoint REST endpoint, and assign it to a variable
- e.g. http:// example .com/ subsite /_vti_bin/listdata.svc/ ExampleList
- ? Here's the tricky part - using C# or VB script, clean up the XML into a string returning the data you need (e.g. Lat/Long coordinates)
- e.g. Formatted data might looks something like "235457,8887945"
- Create a 'For Each' that applies to each item in your formatted data
- Within that 'For Each', have two 'Assign' functions
- One to split the values and push them to an array
- The other to create new MapPoint's from the coordinates now provided in the array
- Finally, 'Run External Command' to 'AddMarkupGeometry' to each point.
It looks like the C#/VB section is more complicated than I'd originally anticipated (me having no C#/VB experience...). If anyone has any suggestions that would be great.
