Yes that looks correct for the <Widget> part, but you also need
something like this to add it to the toolbar:
<Container xsi:type="UiItemContainerType">
<Name>Toolbar</Name>
<Type>Toolbar</Type>
<Item xsi:type="WidgetItemType">
<Function>Widget</Function>
<Widget>LinkToView</Widget>
</Item>
......
There should be some way for Studio to put that in, but I'm not sure
how. You probably also need a label or icon for it in the <Widget> element.

Thanks Mike,
here is what Studio 2010 automatically puts in the xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WidgetType xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>
<Name>LinkToView</Name>
<Type>LinkToView</Type>
<Location />
<Extension />
</WidgetType>
does this look correct?
thanks

I think it is a matter of adding a <Widget> entry for it and an entry in
the toolbar <Container> in the AppDef.

Hi Mike,
I am playing with the "Link to View" widget. What is required to add it to the
toolbar? Is there some documentation for it's use?
thanks

It does capture map extent/scale and layer state. It doesn't capture
the sessionid since that is likely to expire, it initializes the map
from the MapGuide resource ID, rather than mapname and session.

Hi Mike,
Does it capture current Map Scale and Layer State?
Also, does it cupture current SESSIONID?

Yes there is the LinkToView widget which provides bookmarking. It
provides a labeled anchor tag with a link to the current mapview.

I think I saw some support for bookmarking go into Fusion 2.0. There are
some developers from DM Solutions on this list that may be able to
provide more details...

Subject: [mapguide-users] Bookmarking
Hi All,
I was wondering, has anyone seen a bookmarking tool (either FUSION or
Basic
Web Layout)?
I think there are different ways of doing this.
1. I saw one solution that grabbed the URL of the web layout (including
sessionid) but this expires...
2. I thought I could capture the map name, current scale, and the current
layer visibility in the session and store to a database..then apply these
parameters after the user logs in.
3. I thought I saw a FUSION demo that "save map" would store the map
permanently in the repository and just share it to everyone, but does
anyone
know if this stored the current status (scale and layer visibility
status)????
The issue I have with all these approaches is that this requires that the
web layout is customized to accommodate the passing of these
parameters...
it would be great if there were URL parameters (GET or POST) that we can
pass the scale and layer status to the whole Web Layout (FUSION or
BASIC)...
any feedback on how anyone worked through this issue would be great.
thanks
gordon
