MappingWidgets / News: Recent posts

A module has been made that integrates the opengis MappingWidgets framework in the CMS environment of Drupal (http://drupal.org). The specific module is called 'Carto' and is introduced at and available from http://drupal.org/node/24727.

A page demonstrating usage of this module and the mappingwidgets framework can be found at http://mappingwidgets.sourceforge.net/?q=node/3.

The MappingWidgets project uses Smarty to generate xhtml compliant code. In templates the user can specify which opengis map services are displayed and what map browsing functionality is available.

Sample code is included and a demonstration is available at http://mappingwidgets.sourceforge.net/mappingwidgets/demo/index.phtml.

The package can be downloaded from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mappingwidgets/mappingwidgets-0.2.tar.gz?download.

The home page for the mappingwidgets project has been established using Drupal on http://mappingwidgets.sourceforge.net. A link to the demonstration page at http://mappingwidgets.sourceforge.net/mappingwidgets/demo/index.phtml has been added here. Note that this one is (still) best used with Firefox. Which widget definitions were used for this page can be seen by clicking the template link.

The first release is done! Version 0.1 with basic functionality for browsing maps of opengis compliant web services.
