Does that wrapper limit you to only using the core layers provided by OpenLayers then? You can't load any additional layers? > So if I can't figure out what url scheme is used to display mapnik > data, I can't tell if openlayers will display it, and if I don't know > which part of openlayers displays it I can't check if the wrapper in > toscawidgets is done for that part, and if its not done then how is it > all going to work? Native OpenLayers can only display it if you override the URL generation function for the layer, which is exactly what our layers do - they derive from the TMS layer and modify the URL generation to generate the required format.
