Re: [GeoNetwork-users] Issues configuring maps in GN 2.6.0

[Just v. d. B. <ju...@ju...>]

Hi Jose,

Thanks. The ticket: http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/ticket/346

On configuring: it would be helpful to have at least options for the 
OpenLayers Map objects configurable in config-gui (similar to "options" 
in <layer> elements). Also for extentMap.

best,
