[Qgis-user] Third-party-baselayer / OpenLayers-Plugin

[Andreas Neumann]

 I don't know about this one. I think the QGIS cloud service is a 
 modified version of the main trunk version. Similar to Lizmap.

 If you know some javascript, it is probably relatively easy to 
 implement this on a OpenLayers level. OpenLayers already supports these 
 base layers.

 Personally, I don't have this need, so I won't work on it. But if 
 someone supplies a generally useful patch I wouldn't be against 
 including it.

 You have to be aware though, that you restrict yourself to the 
 projections offered by the base-layer tile services. No way to reproject 
 that data currently.

 You may also want to contact Sourcepole and ask them if they would make 
 this available in the trunk version of the web client.
