Hello everybody
One tip I would like to add for those who are using prototype. An older version
of prototype is somehow included in the OpenLayers library so it is possible to use
prototype components by adding "OpenLayers." at the begginning of their name.
For example "Event.observe" should be replaced with OpenLayers.Event.observe and
"Ajax.Request" should be replaced with "OpenLayers.Ajax.Request"
Greetings from Ari at Snertill in Iceland.

Does anyone have any tips on make a conversion from Fusion 1.x to 2.x? I
had a really nice custom layout created under Fusion 1.x that I tried to
move to 2.x and it's been a real mess. I can see that some of the big
things are the changes to the JX libraries. Also I have a couple of
widgets that I developed in 1.x that don't work at all in 2.x now
either. All of the documentation online seems to be all 1.x driven and
doesn't work under 2.x.
The reason I am even taking the effort to move to 2.x is because of all
of the additional exposed OpenLayers layers that are available. Does
anyone know if TileCache specifically is working now with Fusion 2.x?
Thanks.

Hi Tim,
Tómas here working for Snertill in Iceland. We are upgrading from MapGuide Enterprise 2009 to 2010 as well as Fusion 1.1 to 2.0. I am not currently working on it but my colleague is. His tips were that the simple copy and paste of code absolutely does not work. What he has been doing (brace yourself) for the last 10 work days, is that he has gone from the default Slate layout, and in small steps adding our own custom code (custom widgets and changes) to the default layout. He specifically said "baby steps". He is about to finish with final CSS touches.
Unfortunately we have no conversion steps or guides for you to take on how to upgrade other than the down and dirty in the code way. Hope you pull through.

Hi Tim,
unfortunately the change from 1.x to 2.0 is disruptive due to an API
change in JxLib and in Fusion itself (for widgets). I thought I had
posted something on this before but apparently I didn't.
For widgets, the big changes are:
1. change the initialize method to initializeWidget
2. remove call to Fusion.Widget.prototype.initialize.apply
3. remove calls to Fusion.Tool.xxxxx
4. add new attribute uiClass: Jx.Button for widgets that are
represented as (this replaces calling
Fusion.Tool.ButtonBase.prototype.initialize.apply)
5. if the widget is modal on the map, add new attribute isExclusive:
true
6. remove activateTool if used
A good example of a button-based widget is Zoom.js. If your widgets
are not buttons then you can leave uiClass out or choose a different
uiClass (like Jx.Menu for instance).
For JxLib, the changes were fairly widespread and it is hard to
summarize them without looking at your template to see what parts you
used.
One big change would be if you are using any prototype or
scriptaculous stuff, you'll need to find the mootools equivalent
Another change is from Jx.Action with buttons to event listeners so
where you would have created a button and an action before, now you
just create the button and attach an event listener using
button.addEvent('click', function() {});
If you want to send me your widgets or template code directly, I can
provide you with more specific advice.
I haven't tried TileCache specifically but it supposed to work -
actually, WMS layers work and TileCache usually uses a WMS layer so
yes I think it does work. If you want to use the TileCache layer to
access a pre-built cache you will need to update OpenLayers.js to use
a full build of the library or at least one that includes
Layer.TileCache.
Cheers
Paul
