[mapguide-users] Subject: Best practices for running Fusion within frames

[Gordon Luckett]

I just use the default Legend for now..

 

 

 

Thanks Gord!

That widget look great, I'll have to look into that!

So then are you building your own Legend as well, or is that the default MG
Legend component?

Hi Warren

Also, I should direct you to

I use this widget extensively.that way I can have floating windows
regardless of FUSION or AJAX viewers.  

 

My data grid ("List All Parcels") uses this javascript library for this site
- and all the sites on the squamish2010.ca domain that I create:

Well, I'm using frames to provide a basic 'wrapper' to display things like
company logo's and also a custom reporting frame for displaying a datagrid.

So, are you guys using iframes to hide the complexity of the initial
url and still use appdef directly out of the MapGuide repository?

My appdef doesn't change very often; I've got it compiled into a
single-file fusion build per-map. I'm not using templates either ;I
don't think they existed when DMSG built my map initially :)

If your app is static enough, you could do something similar; copy the
template out into the Map's directory and either compile in the appdef
or create an ApplicationDefinition.xml in the same folder as your
index.html.
