of course it is simple :)
but it would be still useful to do it only once
here what I have I mind:
- a skin containing OpenLayers
- a profile which would declare the css, js and so on, plus a
propertytool in the portal (to manage stuff like GoogleMapKey, for
instance)
- a BrowserView class, with few annotations (to manage wms adresses,
SLD styles, etc...)
- some PT macros that you would be able to insert OL in your
product-specific templates that way:
tal:define="view here/@@openlayer_browserview"
<script tal:define="my_google_key view/getGoogleKey"
type="text/javascript" src="" tal:attributes="src
string:http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=${my_google_key}";>
<script tal:define="parameters view/getParameters"
tal:content="string:window.onload=function()
{load('${parameters}');}" >
<div id="map" tal:define="myHeight view/getHeight"
tal:attributes="style string:height:${myHeight}px">
</div>
so, for sure, it is not difficult, but it would just make the
integration cleaner, that's all
