[mapguide-users] Publish map from MGStudio

[Jason Birch]

Hi Sandra,
 
Your WebLayout is stored in the MapGuide server repository on your "localhost" machine.  If this is a production machine, then that's good; you don't need to do anything special as long as your web server can communicate with it.
 
The server that you have the MapGuide Web Extensions installed on will need to be internet-facing as well.  If the server you're refering to as "localhost" is not this server, then you will need to install the web extensions on your web server, and point it to your MapGuide server machine.
 
I would strongly suggest in either case ensuring that MapGuide is accessibly on port 80; many users will not be able to access web services on other ports.
 
You may also want to do some additional work internally before publishing to the web.  If you want to avoid the username/password prompt and long connect string, you'll want to wrap your web layout in a frameset that sets up a session before loading the WebLayout.
 
Download the appropriate viewer sample from this page:
https://mapguide.osgeo.org/downloads.html
 
Within this sample, you have to make a choice of the viewer to use (AJAX or DWF).  Open the appropriate file (for PHP, either ajaxviewersample.php or dwfviewersample.php) and look at how the web layout is loaded from a parent frame.
 
To make your own application, you can copy the contents of the viewer sample to a new directory and change the appropriate lines in this file to point to your MapDefinition & WebLayout
 
    $mapDefinition = "Library://Samples/Sheboygan/Maps/Sheboygan.MapDefinition";
    $webLayout = "Library://Samples/Sheboygan/Layouts/SheboyganPhp.WebLayout";

Subject: [mapguide-users] Publish map from MGStudio



Hi,

I would publish my map into the internet. I have installed MapGuide OpenSource server and the webserver extension and I developed the weblayout with MapGuide Studio 2007. The weblayout works fine local on http://localhost:8008/mapguide/mapviewerajax/?WEBLAYOUT=Library%3a%2f%2fFNP+Niederstetten%2fWeb+layouts%2fFl%c3%a4chennutzungsplan+Niederstetten.WebLayout&LOCALE=de. But now I would like to publish the map into the internet embedded at our web page. But how works this? Where did MGStudio store my weblayouted map? Or must I configure the webserver where IŽd like to publish the map?Must I configure the SiteAdministrator, and how?Could someone help me? IŽm absolutely beginner.

Thanks,

S
