RE: [Mapbuilder-devel] Preset zooms

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington] <Tom...@ec...>]

Hi,

I've added this to CVS in:

- lib/model/schemas/locations.xsd (schema for how a locations document is
structured)
- demo/locations/global.xml (sample locations document)
- lib/widget/locations/locations2select.xsl (transform from GML to HTML
select box)

Now I want to:

- add a param to config.xml for location of demo/locations/global.xml
- add JavaScript functionality to render this

..should we add this as a child to /Mapbuilder/models?

..Tom
