[mapguide-users] Fusion - one AppDef many maps best approach?

[Warren Medernach]

This is exactly what I want to accomplish as well Andy.
In our case, we have an app where we have different logins to allow
access to different 'maps', but I want a common application wrapper
around all of these maps, and I was hoping I could do that with Fusion.


Looks like the 'mapResource' method described below might be the way to
tackle this.

Andy,

Fusion doesn't support that use-case right now although you might be 
able to look at the MapMenu widget to see if that might fit your needs, 
or you may be able to customize it to suit. The MapMenu supports loading

a list of Map definitions from a MapGuide folder resource, i.e point it 
at a MapGuide Library://some/folder and it will enumerate all the 
MapDefinition items and list them in the menu.

The other approach would be to modify Fusion to accept a 'mapResource' 
URL parameter that would override the ResourceId pointer in a MapGroup, 
in this case the <MapGroup><Map> element in AppDef would represent a 
template.
