[OpenLayers-Users] Event for Minimizing/Maximizing OverviewMap Control

2010-08-24 Thread Franz Buchinger
Hi all, I need to perform an action when the user maximizes or minimizes the OverviewMap Control (i.e. the overview map becomes visible or invisible). But the Control doesn't seem to support this type of events. Any ideas? Franz ___ Users mailing list

Re: [OpenLayers-Users] get markers from layers?

2010-08-13 Thread Franz Buchinger
You can only retrieve/append markers from/to a markers layer: http://dev.openlayers.org/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer/Markers-js.html To retrieve an array of the markers layers in your map use Map.getLayersByClass("OpenLayers.Layer.Markers"). Make sure that you previously attached a markers layer

You don't need to run build.py as you've already downloaded a customized openlayers build. Your problem looks like a theme/css issue, your openlayers build can't find the css files for the map theme. Make sure your customized_openlayers.js is in the root directory of openlayers (with the subdirec

Hi, I want my openlayers map to fill the whole browser window, it should only leave 200px left and 150 px top offset for UI Elements. Here is my css for the map div: .fluid-map { position: absolute; left: 200px; right: 0px; margin: 0px;

Re: [OpenLayers-Users] changelayer event

2010-08-04 Thread Franz Buchinger
Hi Mengu, I suppose you want to detect the newly activated baselayer in the layer switcher. If you activate a new baselayer in the layer switcher, you actually trigger 2 changelayer events: 1 for the old baselayer (because it gets invisible) and 1 for the new baselayer (because it gets visible).

Re: [OpenLayers-Users] adding custom controls to layer switcher?

2010-08-04 Thread Franz Buchinger
Hi Imran, if you want to extent the layer switcher with custom functionality, the cleanest way is to derive your own CustomLayerSwitcher class from Control.LayerSwitcher. You just need to redefine the redraw() method, where all the HTML of the Control is assembled. OpenLayers.Control.MyCustomLay

Hi Bart, I'm almost done with my layer implementation. The only problem: my getURLasync() Method gets triggered far too often (about 3x per pan/zoom action). How can I make sure that getURLasync is only triggered once per map action? Franz 2010/8/3 Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS) > Hi Franz, >

Hi Bart, thanks for the fast and helpful response! One question though: which class actually invokes the methods OpenLayers.Layer.ArcIMS.getUrl and OpenLayers.Layer.getUrlAsync? They seem to be overriden methods, but i couldn't find them in OpenLayers.Layer.Grid or OpenLayers.Layer.HTTPRequest.

Hi, I'm a frontend developer and was programming a web viewer for a proprietary, WMS-like map service. I discovered Openlayers one month ago and I'm really fascinated by its awesome capabilities, so I decided to integrate our map service in OpenLayers. Here is a short description how the map serv
