Academic track at FOSS4G 2009, two weeks till abstracts due, workshops
announced Sydney, Australia. 25 May 2009. The Academic community and FOSS4G organising committee are pleased to add an academic track to the FOSS4G conference, and remind interested presenters that there are only two weeks left for FOSS4G abstract submissions! Abstract submission closes 8 June 2009. (Note the deadline has been extended a week.) http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/ The Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial conference (FOSS4G), is being held in Sydney, Australia October 20-23. http://2009.foss4g.org The academic track will act as an inventory of current research topics and promote cooperative research between OSGeo developers and the academia. The academic track is the right forum to highlight the most important research challenges and trends in the domain, and let them became the basis for an informal OSGeo research agenda. It will foster interdisciplinary discussions in all aspects of the geospatial and free and open source domains. It aims to promote networking between participants, initiate and favour discussions regarding cutting-edge technologies in the field, exchange research ideas and promote international collaboration. All submissions to the academic track must be original unpublished work written in English that is currently not under review elsewhere. The submitted papers will be thoroughly reviewed by two to three members of the international scientific committee and refereed for their quality, originality and relevance. For further information, please read the full call for research papers. http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_2009_Call4papers. Submit your Abstracts now Only two weeks to submit your abstracts and secure your presentation slot. Presentations are open to all and comprises a 30 minute slot which includes hand-over, introductions and 5 minutes for questions. Presentations will be selected which have a strong "Open Geospatial" theme to them. We are keen to hear about your experiences, both technical and non technical. While the technology is a key part of the conference, in 2009 we are very keen to have a good selection of case studies and business case type presentations.

Does anyone have any tips on make a conversion from Fusion 1.x to 2.x? I
had a really nice custom layout created under Fusion 1.x that I tried to move to 2.x and it's been a real mess. I can see that some of the big things are the changes to the JX libraries. Also I have a couple of widgets that I developed in 1.x that don't work at all in 2.x now either. All of the documentation online seems to be all 1.x driven and doesn't work under 2.x. The reason I am even taking the effort to move to 2.x is because of all of the additional exposed OpenLayers layers that are available. Does anyone know if TileCache specifically is working now with Fusion 2.x? Thanks. - Tim ---- Timothy J Nolte - [hidden email] Network Planning Engineer iPCS Wireless, Inc. 4717 Broadmoor Ave, Suite G Kentwood, MI 49512 Office: 616-656-5163 PCS: 616-706-2438 Fax: 616-554-6484 Web: www.ipcswirelessinc.com _______________________________________________ fusion-users mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/fusion-users |

Hi Tim,
Tómas here working for Snertill in Iceland. We are upgrading from MapGuide Enterprise 2009 to 2010 as well as Fusion 1.1 to 2.0. I am not currently working on it but my colleague is. His tips were that the simple copy and paste of code absolutely does not work. What he has been doing (brace yourself) for the last 10 work days, is that he has gone from the default Slate layout, and in small steps adding our own custom code (custom widgets and changes) to the default layout. He specifically said "baby steps". He is about to finish with final CSS touches. Unfortunately we have no conversion steps or guides for you to take on how to upgrade other than the down and dirty in the code way. Hope you pull through.

Hi Tim,
unfortunately the change from 1.x to 2.0 is disruptive due to an API change in JxLib and in Fusion itself (for widgets). I thought I had posted something on this before but apparently I didn't. For widgets, the big changes are: 1. change the initialize method to initializeWidget 2. remove call to Fusion.Widget.prototype.initialize.apply 3. remove calls to Fusion.Tool.xxxxx 4. add new attribute uiClass: Jx.Button for widgets that are represented as (this replaces calling Fusion.Tool.ButtonBase.prototype.initialize.apply) 5. if the widget is modal on the map, add new attribute isExclusive: true 6. remove activateTool if used A good example of a button-based widget is Zoom.js. If your widgets are not buttons then you can leave uiClass out or choose a different uiClass (like Jx.Menu for instance). For JxLib, the changes were fairly widespread and it is hard to summarize them without looking at your template to see what parts you used. One big change would be if you are using any prototype or scriptaculous stuff, you'll need to find the mootools equivalent Another change is from Jx.Action with buttons to event listeners so where you would have created a button and an action before, now you just create the button and attach an event listener using button.addEvent('click', function() {}); If you want to send me your widgets or template code directly, I can provide you with more specific advice. I haven't tried TileCache specifically but it supposed to work - actually, WMS layers work and TileCache usually uses a WMS layer so yes I think it does work. If you want to use the TileCache layer to access a pre-built cache you will need to update OpenLayers.js to use a full build of the library or at least one that includes Layer.TileCache.

Does anyone know why the new version of Fusion is only rendering my maps
via GD and not using AGG? I'm using this with MapServer and my mapfile only has an AGG output format specified. Seems like Fusion is not reading this portion of the mapfile. - Tim ---- Timothy J Nolte - [hidden email] Network Planning Engineer iPCS Wireless, Inc. 4717 Broadmoor Ave, Suite G Kentwood, MI 49512 Office: 616-656-5163 PCS: 616-706-2438 Fax: 616-554-6484 Web: www.ipcswirelessinc.com _______________________________________________ fusion-users mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/fusion-users |

I can assure you that there is something wrong with how Fusion is
handling my mapfile. I changed my IMAGETYPE to what you had and still found that it was generating a GD image. So I did some digging. Here is the url that was being passed to the mapserv cgi: http://mapserver.ilpcs.com/cgi-bin/mapserv?layers=world_countries_large_ scale%20world_countries_mid_scale%20world_countries_small_scale1%20world _countries_small_scale2%20built_up_areas%20voice_only_roaming%20voice_da ta_roaming%20ipcs_voice_data%20ipcs_evdo%20inland_water_small_scale%20in land_water%20inland_water_no_us%20rivers_and_streams_with_US%20rivers_an d_streams_no_US%20canals_no_US%20regional_borders%20international_border s%20roads%20roads_median%20railroads%20sea_labels%20ocean_labels%20built _up_area_labels%20state_province_labels%20world_major_cities%20world_cap itals%20island_labels%20inland_water_small_scale%20inland_water%20us_wat er%20us_rivers_streams%20us_small_scale_state_borders%20us_large_scale_s tate_borders%20us_international_borders%20us_ramps%20us_trails%20us_ferr ies%20us_streets_for_raster%20us_railways%20us_small_scale_secondary_roa ds%20us_secondary_roads%20us_small_scale_primary_roads%20us_primary_road s%20us_primary_road_shields_small_scale%20us_primary_road_shields%20us_s econdary_road_shields_small_scale%20us_secondary_road_shields%20small_to wns%20towns%20small_cities%20medium_cities%20major_cities_100000%20major _cities_1000000%20capital_cities%20state_labels%20national_capitals%20on _air%20copyright&session=4a2828d05bdbc&map=%2Ftmp%2Fsess_4a2828d05bdbc%2 FiPCS.map&map_imagetype=png&mode=map&ts=1244145893344&mapext=-86.5204549 4505495+42.08666860282567+-84.71641412872842+43.798194505494436&imgext=- 86.52045494505495+42.08666860282567+-84.71641412872842+43.79819450549443 6&map_size=780+740&imgx=390&imgy=370&imgxy=780+740 If you look for the map_imagetype you'll see that it is being set to "png".

So it would seem that Fusion is looking at the MIMETYPE or DRIVER and using the generic image type rather than using the IMAGETYPE setting that I specified in my mapfile. I'm going to look into the Fusion code to find out how it is reading the mapfile and getting that imagetype setting. For now I can make sure that I only have the AGG output method specified with the generic JPEG or PNG naming. ** Also, please reply-to-all when responding to these posts.

Hi Tim,
I have been unable to reproduce this issue with the current rev# 1863 of fusion. It looks to me that something in your loadmap.php script is not passing the image type to openlayers so the default action is set. Have you modified anything in loadmap.php? perhaps you can send an attachment of the response from loadmap.php? or even better provide a link to the offending application. See: trunk/lib/OpenLayers/OpenLayers.js around line 29288 DEFAULT_PARAMS: { mode: "map", map_imagetype: "png" }, by default the map_imagetype is png. see what happens if you change it to this. DEFAULT_PARAMS: { mode: "map", map_imagetype: "aggapng24" }, Cheers Paul D.
