Yes, it's a steep learning curve :) If you're using Fusion "out of the box" it's worth your time to upgrade to version 1.1.1. Quite a few bugs have been fixed since the version that is in the MapGuide installer, and I believe that the upgrade process is fairly painless (just rename the old fusion folder to fusion_old, put the new fusion in place, and copy the MapGuide templates back into the new fusion.)
http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/wiki/GetIt SVN is an open source version control system, which is used by MapGuide, Fusion, OpenLayers, FDO, etc. e.g. Fusion: http://svn.osgeo.org/fusion/branches/fusion-2.0/ More on SVN on the fusion Trac: http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/wiki/DevelopersCorner But basically, if you're on Windows just download TortoiseSVN, "check out" the above SVN URL, and you're good to go. For Fusion-based applications where initial load performance is critical, you'll want to pull the source from SVN to access the build script. More information on building Fusion here: http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/wiki/ANTBuildSystem I wrote a little about this here too: http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/mapguide-users/2008-August/014002.html By using the build system to create an application-specific single file build, enabling gzip compression, and ensuring that your webserver is setting proper cache headers, you can really reduce the initial load time of a Fusion application. By setting a parameter in the application definition to serve your map as PNG8 (setting is new in Fusion 1.1.1), you can further improve your application's responsiveness though at the cost of some colour fidelity.

And there is not only Mapguide, but Fusion and now Openlayers, gasp! What is a SVN? I've bookmarked the link for the future, thanks. _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
