My mistake:
I changed the 2 lines
/       var mw = pluginOutput.variables.mainmap_width;
      var mh = pluginOutput.variables.mainmap_height; /
with
/       var mw = pluginOutput.variables.mainmap_width+'px;
      var mh = pluginOutput.variables.mainmap_height+'px'; /
and it works fine! :-[

So to sum up for anyone interested:

*Concerning FullExtent in Ajax:*
1. Modify dhtmlInit.js, Map.prototype.fullextent
        /CartoWeb.trigger('Location.FullExtent', "doSubmit()");          /
2. Modify location.ajax.js, buildPostRequest method
        /return 'full_extent=full_extent&'+AjaxHandler.buildPostRequest();/
3. Modify ClientLocation.php
   a. handleHttpPostRequest method:
/if (!empty($request['full_extent'])) {
   $this->locationRequest = $this->handleFullExtent();
   if (!is_null($this->locationRequest)) {
       return;
   }
} /
   b. ajaxHandleAction method to update other plugins:
/        case 'Location.FullExtent':
               $pluginEnabler->disableCoreplugins();
               $pluginEnabler->enablePlugin('location');
               $pluginEnabler->enablePlugin('layers');
$pluginEnabler->enablePlugin('images'); /
*Concerning MapSize in Ajax:
*1. Modify mapsize select in cartoclient template to have:
/ onchange="javascript:CartoWeb.trigger('Images.changeMapSize', 'doSubmit()');"/
2. Add these lines to Images.ajax.js
/AjaxPlugins.Images.Actions.changeMapSize = {
   buildPostRequest: function(argObject) {
       return AjaxHandler.buildPostRequest();
   },
};/
3. Modify handleResponse from Images.ajax;js
       /// Updates mapsize elements
       var mw = pluginOutput.variables.mainmap_width+'px';
       var mh = pluginOutput.variables.mainmap_height+'px';
AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('needJsDiv','style.width',mw);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('needJsDiv','style.height',mh);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('loadbarDiv','style.width',mw);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('loadbarDiv','style.height',mh);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map','style.width',mw);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map','style.height',mh);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_rootLayer','style.width',mw);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_rootLayer','style.height',mh);
AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_rootLayer','style.clip','rect(0pt, '+mw+', '+mh+', 0pt)');
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_raster','style.width',mw);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_raster','style.height',mh);
AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_raster','style.clip','rect(0px, '+mw+', '+mh+', 0px)');
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_eventPad','style.width',mw);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_eventPad','style.height',mh);
AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_eventPad','style.clip','rect(0px, '+mw+', '+mh+', 0px)');
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_drawing','style.width',mw);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_drawing','style.height',mh);
AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_drawing','style.clip','rect(0px, '+mw+', '+mh+', 0px)');/

*Thanks again Oliver for your helpfull advices.

Thanks for your help.
I managed to deal with the fullextent.
Concerning mapsizes, it's tricky and here's what i've done:

I modified the handleResponse from Images.ajax.js to update the DOM.
I catch no error but this script is not working. The image map is at requested size (so no problem in server side) but there's something i don't understand: in the updateDomElement function, instead of 'style.width' the value of property parameter is 'undoClipping'. I can't figure out why. I pass a string 'style.width' and i receive 'undoClipping'. But there are no instruction between the call of updateDomElement and it's first line (i tested in step mode with Firebug).
I didn't find anything on Google neither


Here is what i added in the handleResponse method
       // Updates mapsize elements
       var mw = pluginOutput.variables.mainmap_width;
       var mh = pluginOutput.variables.mainmap_height;
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('needJsDiv','style.width',mw);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('needJsDiv','style.height',mh);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('loadbarDiv','style.width',mw);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('loadbarDiv','style.height',mh);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map','style.width',mw);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map','style.height',mh);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_rootLayer','style.width',mw);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_rootLayer','style.height',mh);
AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_rootLayer','clip','rect(0pt, '+mw+'px, '+mh+'px, 0pt)');
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_raster','style.width',mw);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_raster','style.height',mh);
AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_raster','clip','rect(0px, '+mw+'px, '+mh+'px, 0px)');
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_eventPad','style.width',mw);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_eventPad','style.height',mh);
AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_eventPad','clip','rect(0px, '+mw+'px, '+mh+'px, 0px)');
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_drawing','style.width',mw);
       AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_drawing','style.height',mh);
AjaxHandler.updateDomElement('map_drawing','clip','rect(0px, '+mw+'px, '+mh+'px, 0px)');


Thanks

The problem is some event are not handled in the same way, so simply faking a post via ajax will not effectively trigger the event. And also Im not even talking about the returned value(s) which are not formated in the same way.

For the fullextent, this was already discussed :
http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/cartoweb-users/2007-February/002058.html http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/cartoweb-users/2007-April/002402.html

For mapsize, the idea is the same, but a bit more complicated, as there are more element in the template that must be updated. The mapsize change is intercepted in the "images" coreplugin. What you should do is : - change the mapsize template so the change trigger an ajax action (look at other template for example), - add new functions in images.ajax.js to update the corresponding elements in the page with the new values. Simply look in the templates files (cartoclient.tpl and maybe others) where the variables returned by the images coreplugin (you can see these in function renderFormPrepare) are used and do the same but with javascript. I dont think you need to modify the ClientImages.php, as it already contain the corresponding ajax related functions.

Hi

Thank for your answer. The functionnalities i need in ajax are fullExtent and mapSize. Well by now i'm trying to implement it on the full extent function. Maybe you could tell me wether i took a wrong path. On the doSubmit function, instead of the myform.submit(); i do a x_submitForm(); wich looks like this:

/function x_submitForm(){
 xShow(xGetElementById('loadbarDiv'));
 var param = AjaxHandler.buildPostRequest();
var laRequete = new Ajax.Request('/cw/htdocs/x_aeag.php', {method: 'post',parameters: param,onComplete: afficherReponse} );
}

/The file x_aeag.php looks like this:
/<?php
$_ENV['CW3_PROJECT'] = 'aeag';
require_once('client.php');

header('Content-Type: text/xml');
?>/

And then i modified the cartoclient.tpl so it produces an xml stream:
/<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>/
/<reponse>
   <bbox>{$bboxMinX},{$bboxMinY},{$bboxMaxX},{$bboxMaxY}</bbox>
   <factor>{$factor}</factor>
<mapunits>{$mapUnits}</mapunits> <scalebarUnits>{$scalebarUnits}</scalebarUnits>
   <currentScale>1:{$currentScale}</currentScale>
   <mainmap_path>{$mainmap_path}</mainmap_path>
   <mainmap_width>{$mainmap_width}</mainmap_width>
   <mainmap_height>{$mainmap_height}</mainmap_height>
   <scalebar_path>{$scalebar_path}</scalebar_path>
   <keymap_path>{$keymap_path}</keymap_path>
</reponse>/

Now my problem is that cartoweb doesn't produce the full extent map image. A new image is yet generated but with still the same extent. I can't find why...

Hi

Some plugins and maybe some core functionnalities are not compatible with ajax. Simply changing the doSubmit function to only return xmlhttprequest (ajax) is probably not a good idea as it will break in the cases said above.

I would suggest to first identify precisely which functionnalities you use are still using non-ajax mode and then see how to modify these functionnalities so they work with ajax (if possible)

Hi,

I'm trying to set Cartoweb as a full Ajax application. So i try to change the doSubmit function of dhtmlInit.js to make it send the form through an ajax function. I'd like to know if someone as already done this work, and if possible to post the code in the list.

Thanks
