[mapguide-users] Fusion - feature hyperlink target?

[Andy Morsell]

Yes, that makes sense judging from the URL from Studio.  It points the
ApplicationDefinition to a repository definition instead of on the
filesystem.  This was what was confusing me, I was expecting the
/slate/ApplicationDefinition.xml to supercede all but instead MapGuide is
only using the index.html in the /slate/ folder to assemble the Fusion parts
and pieces and then using it's own ApplicationDefinition from the
repository.

http://192.168.1.109:8008/mapguide/fusion/templates/mapguide/slate/index.htm
l?ApplicationDefinition=Library%3a%2f%2fSamples%2fSheboygan%2fFlexibleLayout
s%2fSlate.ApplicationDefinition

Whereas this will use the AppDef on the filesystem

http://192.168.1.109:8008/mapguide/fusion/templates/mapguide/slate/index.htm
l?

So, it looks like my objective of having a master ApplicationDefinition on
the filesystem that I can globally tweak as needed for that application will
not work well when using Studio flexible web layouts.  I really wanted the
template read every time at run-time by the Studio flexible layout, but
that's not how it works.  Rather, I will use the file system definition
exclusively where I can accomplish what I need.  It still looks like I ran
into a bug or two with Studio inheriting the parent ApplicationDefinition
template definitions when first defining a layout so I will log those issues
with Autodesk.

No, that's right - when you use Studio it is using an AppDef stored inside
the MapGuide repository, not the one on the file system.  When you launch it
from Studio, it appends something to the URL to get it to use the AppDef
from the repository.
