[Mapbender-users] Overview map in tabs + external Script reference trouble

Fri Apr 6 04:54:32 EDT 2012

Hi All,

I have been in the process of porting my MB application from an old server
to a new one and at the same time from MapBender version 2.4.4 to 2.7.2.
Is seems that I am 90% there but I ran into some trouble in a couple of
areas when I just tried to implement the same additions / specifics I had
working in the old server with MapBender 2.4.4 and then trying to make them
work in MB 2.7.2.

1. I have used the ExtJS API to add Grid and query builder functionality to
my site . In MB 2.4.4 I simply referenced the ExtJS files in index file and
got it to work. The architecture in 2.7.2 is different and it seems there
are a lot of checks in place what was loading, is loaded, and is allowed to
be loaded? Thus so far  I was not able to reference the ExtJS lib and sue
them . On IRC Verena pointed out that one way would be to create an element
that includes a JS file as a ref just like the Jquery jq_ui-Element element
. However I am still not bale to make this work. I tried to reference Ext in
the directory /var/www/sites/mapbender/http/ext/ext-all.js in an element ext
as javasript ../ext/ext-all.js

INSERT INTO gui_element(fkey_gui_id, e_id, e_pos, e_public, e_comment,
e_title, e_element, e_src, e_attributes, e_left, e_top, e_width, e_height,
e_z_index, e_more_styles, e_content, e_closetag, e_js_file, e_mb_mod,
e_target, e_requires, e_url) VALUES('xygui','ext',1,1,'The Extjs
core','','','','',NULL ,NULL ,NULL ,NULL ,NULL
,'','','','../ext/ext-all.js','','','','');

This in Firebug gets no error (except is says extjs not defined when trying
ton us it) but I can see that it does not earn my a reference to ext-all.js
- so not sure what is going on ...
Any ideas what is wrong and how I can fix this ?. Do I need to out my ExtJS
into a specific directory for this to be allowed?

2. I am trying to have an overview map in the tabs structure (just like used
it in the old installation v 2.4.4, there that worked out any trouble). 
Now in 2.7.2 I am getting the problem that the overview map always does not
seem to (using the same WMS as before) zoom  the full extent and also in I
cannot get the map to work properly with the tabs display order . That means
initially in the GUI all looks fine, however when I open the Overview map
tab the display does not go away when I close that tab (or  a  different
tab):  the map overlaps the new content and does not display as it should,
be (z index trouble ?) My settings are as below the end of the message.

Also in Firebug I realized that there multiple overview map divs created
(actually dozens ? how weird) might that be a bug or just my configuration
error ?
screen shot 3 - multiple overview divs :

If anyone could shed some light on how I can solve or or the other (or both)
or one of this would be great as I have been stuck with this for several
month off and on working ion it.

Cheers
