[OpenLayers-Users] OpenLayers in Rails

[Arnd Wippermann]

Hello Christopher,

Setting OpenLayers.Util.ImgPath = ... has no effect.

If you look at this, I would think there is "Util." missing:

OpenLayers.Util.getImagesLocation =
function () {
    return OpenLayers.ImgPath || OpenLayers._getScriptLocation() + "img/";
} 

Setting OpenLayers.ImgPath = ... works.

Is there possibly a variable to set the path to the theme-dir as well?

Mit freundlichen Grüssen

Util.js provides the functionality to override the base image path, via the
OpenLayers.Util.ImgPath constant
(http://dev.openlayers.org/docs/files/OpenLayers/Util-js.html#Util.ImgPath
, not well enough documented).
