AW: [OpenLayers-Users] best way to convert an OL map to a static map ?

[Arnd Wippermann]

Hi,

No need "to translate my SLD to MAP syntax"

MapServer generates a mapfile in a temporary directory, if you use SLD. I'm
not sure, if you have set debug in your mapfile.

Betreff: [OpenLayers-Users] best way to convert an OL map to a static map ?

Hello,

I have a webapp where the user wants to be able to download a "static
version" of the displayed OL map, and I wondered what's the best way to do
it ..?

I'm using PostGIS/Mapserver and a (dynamically generated) SLD stylesheet.

I planned to simply use the &mode=map of Mapserver, problem is that SLD is
only supported with WMS requests, so I have to translate my SLD to MAP
syntax (classes, styles, etc).. which I like to avoid.

So I wondered if there is a better way to do than playing with the URL
parameters (BBOX, LAYERS, etc)? Also, I would like to keep the 'attribution'
propert(y|ies) of the active(s) layer(s) if possible (I use this property to
put a custom logo on the map).

Thanks,
Julien
