I have a development site up and I want to enhance it with a dynamic Zoom Box. However, I have borrowed an concept from a Canada website and can change the map size on the fly,
Can I add Jbox or dBox to a site without losing the ability to dynamically change the map size? Which is easier to implement? ______________________________________________________________ Gary L.

This is a MapServer/PHP framework with several advanced functions people are looking for. It can optionally use PostGIS in the backend so your users can edit and save shapes and attributes - that's the most exciting part for me. Note there is a mailing specifically for FIST discussions - see link at bottom. Tyler ------------------------------------- The Flexible Internet Spatial Template (FIST) is now available for download. FIST is an open source (GPL), PHP object based application that is used to rapidly deploy internet mapping web sites. It provides a code base with built-in functionality for common internet mapping tasks as well as the ability to extend the mapping site with custom functions. Currently it works exclusively with UMN MapServer, but the backend could be extended to work with any map server. Key features: - Built in tools including: - Standard zoom-pan - Multiple query and identify tools - Distance/area measurement - Map markup - PDF map making - PostGIS editing capability - Custom tools: connect buttons/tool icons to external scripts with ease. - Real-time coordinate display Website: http://datashare.gis.unbc.ca/fist/ Mailing List: http://www.freelists.org/archives/fist-users/ (new)
