[Mapbender-dev] loadwmc needs addWMS!?

[Christoph Baudson]

Hi Michael,

There is a new module addWMSgeneralfunctions.js that contains the basic 
functions necessary to add a wms. Only this module is needed for WMCs, 
so adding arbitrary WMS to a gui is not possible.

If you have any thoughts concerning this topic, please share them.

Cheers,

Christoph
