Kenneth, this is close, but I think it is unnecessary overhead to
write it back to the server when you already have the exact info you
need on the client side.
Andy, I'd like to understand how you associate users to maps - is this
done on the server somehow? How are the maps organized, are they
somehow named or stored in a path that varies only by user name?

Maybe I misunderstood the problem, but wouldn't it be possible to do
it like this:
1. Ask user to log on
2. Determine correct map resourceID
3. Download ApplicationDefinition Xml from server
4. Update Xml, set resourceID to the one found in step 2.
5. Write the Xml back into the session repository
6. Start regular fusion, but point to session ApplicationDefinitio
instead

Around line 532 of lib/ApplicationDefinition.js there is an over-
ride of the mapid by a query param. You should be able to do
something similar there, or else just above that in the
Fusion.Lib.ApplicationDefinition.Map where it extracts the
resourceId from the MapGroup.
Patches like this would be welcome. Just create a ticket first and
attach the patch to it.

Thanks for the MapMenu widget possibility. That may work out okay
pointing
to a library folder, and I'll have to figure out how to hide the

itself from the end-user.
Yes, having a URL parameter that points to a mapResource would be
perfect.
I will look at modifying Fusion. Any quick clues as to which
Fusion files I
should start looking at?
Thanks again.

Subject: Re: [mapguide-users] Fusion - one AppDef many maps best
approach?
Andy,
Fusion doesn't support that use-case right now although you might
be able to
look at the MapMenu widget to see if that might fit your needs, or
you may
be able to customize it to suit. The MapMenu supports loading a
list of Map
definitions from a MapGuide folder resource, i.e point it at a
MapGuide
Library://some/folder and it will enumerate all the MapDefinition
items and
list them in the menu.
The other approach would be to modify Fusion to accept a
'mapResource' URL parameter that would override the ResourceId
pointer in a MapGroup, in
this case the <MapGroup><Map> element in AppDef would represent a
template.

Hi,
I'm trying to use Fusion on a new project and still wrapping my
head around everything. I have a an application with potentially
hundreds of map definitions in the MGOS repository. I would like
ONE Fusion ApplicationDefinition for the entire application.
From what I understand the map definition must be defined in the
ApplicationDefinition.xml file in the MapSet tag, MapGroup
container, Map tag. Further, the MapGroup ID is then referenced
by the MapWidget.
To avoid having a huge and difficult to maintain
ApplicationDefinition file with all of my maps, what would be the
best approach for my needs? The map will be determined by the
application at run-time after the user logs in, and I need to
then load the Fusion layout with that map (a MGOS map resource).
I see that the loadMap() method in the Fusion command API will do
what I need, but the map definition must exist in the AppDef first.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
