use local release of OpenLayers api so that it works over https with our secure deployments (openlayers.org does not offer the api from their servers using https).
remove sanparks boundaries from the default map, but allow them to be added as an additional layer from the saeon/sanparks skin.use css to style the spatial query search widget controlhttp://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2188
use OpenLayers implementation for rendering map/spatial search - has it's own copy of locations and a different bound for the maphttp://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2188
[re]add predefined locations selection (using the drop down list).with firebug disabled, I see so error messages.
add legend (layer selection checkboxes)
bring up to date with map builder 1.5rc2. core functionality (zoom, pan, dataset search) is present.note that the predefined locations dropdown is missing from this implementation - hopefully will be working again soon...
switch to updated sanparks boundaries file
Mokala is actually farther north than the garden route parks....
use garden route park boundary box coordinates for the four "missing" areas (knysna, tsit, mokala, wilderness)
sych left nav list and map locations with the sanparks.org "Parks A-Z" listing.still missing spatial data for:Knysna National Lake AreaMokala National ParkTsitsikamma National ParkWilderness National Park
added national parks locations from shapefile(thank you shaun+postgis)
added:-zoom on map with named locations for quick spatial searching based on selected park name (hooray javascript!)-narrow search by selected park name-cursor tracking in lat/lon-alpha sort for left nav-reference to fgdc in footer copy
rearrange map controls to right side of image.remove extraneous style.css ref
do not use absolute positioning for mapFrame - goofs up the cursor bounding box dragging offset
do not render Kruger-specific layers in mapbuilder frame
include SANParks boundary layer in the geoserver for sanparks skin
savepoint - sanparks skin looks good with new map, consistent L+F etc..only thing remaining is a tweak to get bounding box for map zooming adjusted to follow mouse click and drag (starts far to the right of pointer).
add world countries layer and refocus the bounding coordinates to include much of southern africa (perhaps too much)
remove unused js (from animation for show/hide)
remove show/hide bar from map
save point with sanparks L+F.first pass.
refactor for sanparks
initial refactor of knp skin (w/fgdc support) to new sanparks skin
