Comment (by pdeschamps):

 I have amended the original maptips submitted by mpfister thank you again
 for your contribution.
 Above you will notice I have added three files to this ticket:

 maptip.2.php

 Maptip2.3.js

 ApplicationDefinition.xml

 What we need to do here now is create an equivalent maptip.php for the
 MapGuide arch. Instead of requesting it directly with JS. We should be
 able to request the GML from the back end their by keeping the client side
 code agnostic to whatever platform we are using.


 I think even though we can branch out the client side js to address
 different mapping technologies. I feel a better approach would be to have
 the js as independent from the mapping architectures as possible. Makes
 for a more manageable code base.

 Also i have added a piece of functionality where you can specify a
 templated URL in the applicationDefinition where by you can reference
 attribute names in the url. Eg:

 this: http://myserver/parkInfo.php?parkId=[PARK_ID]&name=[NAME_E]

 gets rendered as :
 http://myserver/parkInfo.php?parkId=40&name=Wood%20Buffalo%20National%20Park
