[mapguide-users] changing task frame position

[Willem Schwarte]

Yes, and also keep in mind that if you use the installer to install a
newer version, these files will be overwritten by the setup and
everything will be lost!

Yes, but it's not easy.  To do so, you will need to understand how the
current templating system works.

 

How the template system works is that the mapviewer files use the
sprintf() function to do variable substitution into a static text file,
and output that as HTML.  I'll give an example for the PHP mapviewer.
In this case, the mainframe.php file figures out a bunch of stuff like
the size of your frame, whether you want the task frame to show, and
some other stuff.  If you do want the task frame to show, then it calls
some code around line 435 that swaps a whole bunch of variables (20)
into the framesettaskbar.templ file.

 

To move the task pane to the left side, you will need to both modify the
"framesettaskbar.templ" file (it's in www\viewerfiles\) and the
mainframe.php file (it's in www\mapviewerphp\).  

 

First, you have to change the HTML template in the framesettaskbar.templ
file.  You need to change the order of the "taskArea" and the "maparea"
framesets, and also change the "cols" definition in their containing
frameset from "*,%s" to "%s,*" so that the task area's width comes
first.

 

Next, you have to change the order that the variables are replaced into
the template in the mainframe.php file.  For this, you will need to find
the line that looks like "if($showTaskBar)".  A couple lines down from
that, is the call that generates the frameset that includes the task
bar.  Take "$toolbarHeight+1,",  "$srcTaskBar," and "$srcTaskFrame," and
move them up until they are between the "$taskWidth," and
"$toolbarHeight," variables in the sprintf() call.

 

Finally, you'll need to do something with the styling to make the task
pane stand out from the legend/properties.

 

Hope this helps,

Jason

hi all,

is that possible to change the position of the task pane to the left
side
instead of right side (original position)?
if yes, can I know how to change it?
