[mapguide-users] Custom layouts...

[Jason Birch]

I wonder if I can just embed the map within an IFRAME; I'll have to give
that a shot.  I've never tried running a framed page within an IFRAME.
I'd imagine that I'm going to run into browser support issues with
this...

I think you could get could it to work.  The default viewer uses a
frameset and as long as you know the names of the various frames, you
should be able to target your functions correctly.  Take a look in the
C:\Program Files\MapGuideOpenSource\WebServerExtensions\www\viewerfiles
folder at the 
framesetnotaskbar.templ and framesettaskbar.templ files.  In some custom
code I have done, I target the hidden scriptFrame and then interact with
the mapFrame for the client-side API.

I have an extremely custom MapGuide implementation that I need to look
at migrating.  The application portion isn't all that complex, but the
layout is:

Just plugging in the default viewer would lead to a severe reduction in
aesthetics.  Does anyone have procedures/guidelines for hacking my own
viewer template?  Do I need to make global changes or can I constrain it
to this map?
 
The site currently supports ActiveX and the Java Viewer, so AJAX is my
target viewer.  I think that I should just be able to create a layout
without any surround elements and use that in the main window, but I
have a feeling that the task area and the custom tools are going to be
hard to implement.
