[maplab-users] Change "page loading...please wait" text

[kgrootendorst at baird.com]

Bill,
I was able to substitute my own text in for the 'loading msg' parameter. 
But when I try to insert an animated gif, all that's displayed is the path 
of the gif.
Is this because the Loading msg  parameter somehow only recognizes the 
value as being a string of text and not an animation?

Here is the code:
echo "<param name=\"LOADING_MSG\" value=\"/images/spinner.gif\">";

So my loading message parameter only displays:      /images/spinner.gif - 
as opposed to the actual animated gif.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

Kevin

To make the change global for your maplab installation (i.e. all
applications produced by GMapFactory will have the new message) go to
/gmapfactory/htdocs/gmapfactory/templates/app_php_file.php

Look for the function called "drawMainMap" (around line 656). There is a
chunk of code that looks like this (around line 685):

// draw the map as a ROSA applet
echo "<td width=".$oMap->width." height=".$oMap->height.">\n";
echo "<Xpplet name=\"RosaApplet\" archive=\"".ROSA_FILE."\" ".
       "code=\"Rosa2000\" width=\"".$oMap-><!--width."\" height=\"".
        $oMap->height."\" MAYSCRIPT>\n";
echo "<param name=\"TB_POSITION\" value=\"right\">\n";
echo  "<param name=\"TB_ALIGN\" value=\"top\">\n";
echo "<param name=\"IMG_URL\" value=\"".$urlMainMap."\">\n";
echo "<param name=\"INP_FORM_NAME\" value=\"main\">\n";

Add the parameter to this chunk of code.  i.e. 
echo '<param name="LOADING_MSG" value="New loading message">';

To update an existing application, open the <app_name>.php file and look 
for
the same code block.

HTH,
Bill
