[mapguide-users] Mapguide Integration

[Greenhough, Jamie]

Thanks for the responses.!

 

Darrin, that was the jump off I needed. We were having issues with cross
site scripting problems. Having the web extensions installed on dev
machines, and using local IIS debugging in visual studio, so far, is
solving most of our issues.

Hi Jamie,

 

I believe I have done something similar to what you're wanting to do.
My application has  a header containing extensive amounts of application
logic which can interact with the mapguide viewer, and server API as
needed.  Here is some javascript that should return what you're looking
for. 

 

                return
document.getElementById("iFrameID").contentWindow.GetMapFrame();

 

Now depending on where the iframe is located it can get a bit more
tricky.  Putting an iframe within a user control, or another .net
container (master controls, placeholders, panels etc) will prefix the ID
of the iframe with stuff in the rendered HTML.  For example a user
control called MyControl that contains an iframe with an ID of MyIframe
would render out as MyControl_MyIframe.  To work around this, you need
to setup the iframe with a runat="server" tag, and spit out a global
javascript variable that contains MyIframe.ClientID from the codebehind.
The updated javascript would look more like:

 

                return
document.getElementById(globalVarWithClientID).contentWindow.GetMapFrame
();

 

Also - remember that the Mapguide web tier will need to be installed on
local development machines, and the server will need to be referenced
through the local web tier to prevent cross site scripting problems.

 

Hope that helps.

Hello, I hopefully someone can help me out...

 

I have been struggling to integrate MapGuide into a custom .NET web
based application we are developing. 

 

I setup MapGuide on an external server, the dotnetsamples run great and
the MapGuide server appears to be working ok. Great. All of the dev
examples reference the dotnetviewer relatively
(../mapguide/mapviewernet), I am referencing via
http://mapguideserver/mapguide/mapviewernet.

 

We are using MapGuide inside of an iframe. Our application consists of
master pages, user controls, and other .net3.5 goodness.

 

The problem I am facing, is that I don't know how to reference the
viewerAPI outside of the MapGuide frames.

 

I can use InvokeScript and pass SelectionXML to another page in another
frame. But this is not really what we want to do. We want to use code
outside of the iframe to manipulate the ViewerAPI and MapGuideAPI inside
of the iframe.

 

Does anyone have experience with manipulating MapGuide from outside of
an iframe? How about setting up a robust web application with MapGuide
in the middle?

 

Thanks for reading, looking for direction,

Jamie Greenhough
