[fusion-dev] RE: [mapguide-users] Virtual Earth and Firefox with FUSION?

Hi Gordon,

This would best be submitted as a ticket against Fusion.  If you are not running against Fusion trunk, be aware that there were some issues with the commercial map layers in earlier releases.

http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/wiki/FilingBugs

You'll be able to track down the right people on the Fusion mailing lists.  I see you're on Nabble, and you can find fusion here:

I've copied this email to the Fusion Developers list.

Jason

Subject: [mapguide-users] Virtual Earth and Firefox with FUSION?


Hi All, I have a strange issue.  For some reason the Virtual Earth OpenLayers
overlay only seems to work with Internet Explorer (Windows) and Safari
(Windows and MacBook Pro), but no Firefox (any OS).

I am not sure what the issue is, but I checked out the openlayers demo
(http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/spherical-mercator.html) and the
OpenLayers seemed to handle Virtual Earth and Firefox nicely..so I think it
might be how FUSION is implemented the OpenLayers (I am using the Full
openlayers.js file too).

And:  

<script
src='http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6.1'></script>


Oh and the code to add the VE Layer in the INDEX.htm


    var mapWidget = Fusion.getWidgetById('Map');
    var map = mapWidget.oMapOL;
    mapWidget.fractionalZoom = false;      
    map.setOptions({fractionalZoom: false, numZoomLevels: 30});
    
//Create Virtual Earth - Live Maps example
    velayer = new OpenLayers.Layer.VirtualEarth('VE', { 
		'sphericalMercator': true,
                'type': VEMapStyle.Road
            });
    map.addLayer(velayer);


    var mgLayers = map.getLayersByClass('OpenLayers.Layer.MapGuide');
    if(mgLayers.length != 0)
    {
        var mgLayer = mgLayers[0];
        if(mgLayer.isBaseLayer)
        {
            map.setBaseLayer(velayer);
            mgLayer.setIsBaseLayer(false);
            mgLayer.setVisibility(true);
        }
    }
