[Geomoose-users] Dynamic Zoom

Yes, I think this would work great.  If you have code I can test.

Just a few questions stem out of this for me.  Could you have more than one URL in the zoom to?  For example it is pretty common for a local govt to want to have zoom to’s for a few different layers like City, Township and Landmarks.  I know I could setup searches for each one but it is really easy to use if they are just populated into a drop down like the zoom to and it one click away when the UI loads.

I was actually looking at sending out some code samples to Bob in Maine when I started looking at how the current code works.

There is not actually a specific UI holder there but a class (GeoMOOSE.UI.ZoomTo) that is instantiated and added to the UI after startup (main.js line 86).   It does not have any particular logic to avoid loading that class.

My suggestion would actually be to modify the GeoMOOSE.UI.ZoomTo class to have a "url" attribute.  or to add a CONFIGURATION['zoomto_url'] setting that would allow the zoom-tos to pull their data from a URL after the mapbook has loaded.  I think that would meet everyone's needs and fold the functionality into the main-line code.

Brian, does that make sense and get you what you ultimately need?

My thoughts would be to implement this as part of a custom tab mostly
because I am worried about the future safeness of hooking into UI
elements outside of a new tab. UI wise, it is more obvious to the user
the way it is.

Do we have a clean/future safe way for extensions to hook into existing
UI elements other than creating a tab?
