[Geomoose-users] Mouseover map area to show pop up or link

Wed Jun 23 15:33:01 EDT 2010

Nay,
Well that is weird.. But try changing selectable="true" for the tool in your mapbook and lets see. If that does not work your only option will be to write a small function that capitalises on the identify button unchecked property (advanced for me though).
You need to also make sure that your code is not sitting within onLoadMapbook function. Cheers.

Thanks Franz! It works. The pop-ups are turned on only when I
select the Identify button. But they don’t disappear when some other tool
is selected. 

Any ideas on how to turn off the pop-up hover when the identify
button is unselected?

Thanks

Nayate,

I think (I have not tried it out) you first need to go to the mapbook
and change the following line

<tool name="identify" title="Identify"
type="service" service="identify"
cursor="url('cursors/identify2.cur'),auto"/>

to

<tool name="identify" title="Identify"
type="javascript" selectable="true">

   GeoMOOSE.popIdentify(arguments);

  </tool>

Then in compiled.js write the popIdentify function such that it is within the
window.Geomoose constructor?

All the best.

I tried this code out in my geomoose application by inserting
the code in the onLoadedMapbook() in complied.js and it works well.  

Any hints on how I could be enabled as a tool?  I’m
trying to get this functionality activated only when I select the identify
tool.

One way would be to use OL Hover handler – see http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/hover-handler.html. 
Basically it is going to make an ajax call to the identify service when the
cursor hovers over a spot for a set time.  The script below works in my testing
environment… it could be enabled as a tool or in onLoadedMapbook().

// Hover support on WMS and MapServr layers

var popup;

OpenLayers.Control.Hover = OpenLayers.Class(OpenLayers.Control,
{               

                defaultHandlerOptions:
{

'delay': 500,

'pixelTolerance': 20,

'stopMove': false

},

initialize: function(options) {

this.handlerOptions = OpenLayers.Util.extend(

{}, this.defaultHandlerOptions

);

OpenLayers.Control.prototype.initialize.apply(

this, arguments

); 

                    this.handler
= new OpenLayers.Handler.Hover(

this,

{'pause': this.onPause, 'move': this.onMove},

this.handlerOptions

);

}, 

onPause: function(evt) {

var feature = Map.getLonLatFromPixel(evt.xy);

var url = '/php/identify.php?';

var layersArray = GeoMOOSE.getVisibleLayers();

layers = layersArray.join(':');

var requestOptions = OpenLayers.Request.GET({

url: url,

params: {'shape': 'POINT(' + feature.lon + ' ' + feature.lat + ')',

'layers': layers,

'_moosetime': (new Date()).getTime() },

async: false

});

if(requestOptions.responseText) {

popup = new OpenLayers.Popup.FramedCloud("wms", 

Map.getLonLatFromPixel(evt.xy),

null,

requestOptions.responseText,

null, false);

Map.addPopup(popup);

}             

        },

onMove: function(evt) {

if (popup != null) {

popup.destroy();

popup = null;

}

// if this control sent an Ajax request (e.g. GetFeatureInfo) when

// the mouse pauses the onMove callback could be used to abort that

// request.

  }

});

hover = new
OpenLayers.Control.Hover();              

Map.addControl(hover);

hover.activate();

Thanks,

But
is geomoose not based on open layers? If it is then what we can do in open
layers should be possible in geomoose, right? I really need to do this so if
you can point me in the right direction and show me which of the javascript
files I should be editing that would be nice.

All, 

Not
on the feature(s), but the layer name/metadata icon in the side menu.

You mean by simply moving the cursor over

Geomoose no (as far as I know). OpenLayers has a hover handler so we might be

able to use that...
