[Chameleon] Problems getting started ...

Wed, 17 Dec 2003 17:56:19 -0500

Bart,

Ah ... Yes indeed I was ! I forgot about that sample app ... things work
much better now !

One last thing:

Actions on the map do nothing but return the previous map, so basically I'm
stuck at the initial view ... If I try to zoom in the map does refresh and
so on, but I get the same map I was at before ...

Once I get that working I right I should be on my way !

Thanks for all the help,
J.F.

Hi Jean-Francois,

in an earlier post you said you were using Chameleon 1.1 Alpha 6.

I think what you are trying now is the Chameleon 1.0 way 
(/chameleon/chameleon.php?TEMPLATE=demo.html&CONTEXT=gmap_context.xml).

Try installing the Chameleon sample application and then run that by 
trying the URL (create the sample_app alias to "sampleapp"/htdocs 
directory):

/sample_app/index.phtml

Make sure the paths in index.phtml to MAP/Context file and template are 
correct.

Best regards,
Bart
