[mapguide-dev] KML - Session?

[Jason Birch]

Yes, I guess it's not a lot of work to pull the initial GetMapKML
request in a script, and rewrite the XML adding some initial extents.  I
could also toggle the layer states in the same way.  Just had another
thought re usability...  can I at least the current session to the
GetMapKml request so that I don't have to re-authenticate, or is passing
the session not supported at all?

I can see this being a fairly common request, and it would be really
"cool" to be able to bundle a "view in Google Earth" command button in
the default MapGuide distribution.  Would it be a big change to support
pulling the view extent and layer state from a session (ie. is this
something that we can add to the RFC)?

Hi Jason,

I don't think that's easy with the current code. You might be able to
enclose a GetMapKml request in a custom-generated KML document that
specifically zoomed to the required extent.

I'm going to be looking for a way of exposing the current map extents as
KML (place a button that allows user to load current map extents and
layer state in Google Earth).

Does the current KML spec allow passing a session which contains an
MgMap with specific extents set, and zooming to that extent?
