           Summary: [Chameleon - Widget] WMSBrowser popup doesn't conform to
                    skin
           Product: Chameleon
           Version: 1.99
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Widget
        AssignedTo: chameleon-dev at lists.maptools.org
        ReportedBy: pspencer at dmsolutions.ca


An email discussion of this problem:

Bart,

the WMSBrowser is problematic because it is actually a standalone chameleon
application as well as a widget.  Or it was written as a standalone application,
I should say, then converted to a widget.  This makes it difficult to refer to
the popupcss in the app template because it is a template.

What needs to be done is:

1. remove static references to css and replace with [$PopupCSS$]
2. add $oApp->setVar( 'PopupCSS', $_SESSION['PopupCSS'] ); in the WMSBrowser.php
just before $oApp->CWCExecute();
3. replace static images with <CWC2 Type="Link" linktype="javascript"
jsfunction=" ... " .... > ... </cwc2> to create correct buttons

The complication here is that the WMSBrowser application page would need its own
sharedresource for styling the link widgets, which may or may not coincide with
the app developers main page's sharedresources (documentation issue I guess).

Anyway, it can be done and should be done   I'll try to get to it.
