Web Layout XML Schema Update (Re: RFC 66)

[Jackie Ng]

Hi All,

Since RFC 66 is introducing a schema update to the WebLayout xml schema, could we possibly slip in these additions to the schema?

1. User-defined selection color
2. Map request image format

These two things I would imagine are the most commonly modified things in the AJAX viewer. Having these in the web layout would save having to hack AJAX viewer template files for every installation.

I think they fit in the MapDefinition?
That way, both Fusion and WebLayouts can get the functionality.

OTOH, it is a layout issue...

I'm pretty sure (but not 100%) that these are already supported in Fusion's ApplicationDefinition.

I know selection color is definitely supported in the app definition, map image format requires a hacking of openlayers.js to my knowledge.

Nope, map image format is specifiable in the Map's Extension section as ImageFormat, and has been since at least 1.1.  That was the one I was more sure of because I use it.

<Map xsi:type="MapGuideLayerType">
 <Type>MapGuide</Type>
 <SingleTile>true</SingleTile>
 <Extension>
   <ResourceId>Library://Nanaimo/Apps/NanaimoMap/Maps/Themes/Default.MapDefinition</ResourceId>
   <ImageFormat>PNG8</ImageFormat>

Also allowed in the MapGuide extension are

SelectionType (default 'INTERSECTS'),
SelectionColor
SelectionFormat (default 'PNG')
SelectionAsOverlay (true/false)
