[Geoprisma-users] New Widgets Ideas

[Alexandre Dube]

Hi Stephen,

  It is recommended to checkout the trunk version of GeoPrisma when 
developping new widgets.  Contributions are welcomed.  There's a new 
"how to create new widgets" topic in doc, it would be nice to have you 
try it and comment.  Use the Trac to create tickets.

  Also, for development discussions, you can use the dev mailing list.

You could do that directly in your template.xslt file.  Replace the 
oMap.zoomToMaxExtent() for your initial load.

OpenLayers has a Permalink control.  Would it be possible to integrate 
it in GeoPrisma ?

Kind regards,
