[Chameleon] Chameleon 1.1 Alpha

Oops.. I have to get my email addresses right... (sent to admin list by
accident)  For the group:  

Thanks for the tips Paul and Bart.   

Paul, I made the changes you suggested in index.phtml and also the
following (pointing to my folders on Win 2000): 
//include( "/ms4w/apps/chameleon/htdocs/chameleon.php" ); 
include( "c:\mapservertools\cwc2\htdocs\chameleon.php" );

$szTemplate = "sample.html";
//$szMapFile = "/ms4w/apps/chameleon_sample/map/chameleon.map";
$szMapFile = "c:\mapservertools\chameleon_sample\map\chameleon.map";


I feel brainless though...  I got it working to the extent where I now
see the sample map and all the controls + images (main page). But, when 
I click on the zoom in/out or pan, the next page gives me a page not
found error...  

The link is: http://maps.astolfo.com/chameleon_demo/

On IIS I have the following virtual directories under maps.astolfo.com

/cwc2/
/chameleon_demo/

The above virtual directories are mapped respectively:
 
/mapservertools/cwc2/htdocs/ /mapservertools/chameleon_sample/htdocs/
(should this be called chameleon_demo?)


I made the ErrorReport widget visible and it did not return any errors
(on the first page).   I also tried to enable the JavaScript API
(CWCJSAPI). When trying to zoom in JavaScript returned an Oject Expected
error.  (I know, not much help...)

Help!

Thanks again,

Dave

Dave,

Chameleon 1.1 does not (yet) have a service instance so it does not work

like Chameleon 1.0.  In Chameleon 1.1, you need to create a small php 
script that initializes your application.  Most of the work is still 
done by Chameleon, you mostly need to tell it which template and map 
file to use.

You can get the sample application from the chameleon downloads page. 
The sample application is launched by loading index.phtml.  Note there 
is an error in the sample application (still), you will need to edit hte

index.phtml file and move the two lines that say

     $this->moMapSession = new MapSession_RW;
     $this->moMapSession->setTempDir( getSessionSavePath());


from the CWCInitializeMap function into the SampleApp function

You can then remove the CWCInitializeMap function from the sample

Cheers,

Paul
