Move EMapSwitcher

NeilMillward — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 16:04:59 GMT

I am using the enhaced map switcher widget in an application that uses the basemap fader to view historical aerial photos.
I am not showing thumbnails, just the photo date as the label.

The problem is that it stretches across the top portion of the screen and when you hover over any of the widgets it covers up the widget label.

Is there a way to move the basemap switcher so that there is no conflict or force it to a vertical slider instead of horizontal?

Also how can I change the layer list button label from "more" to "Layers".

Thanks

Neil,

Sure just make sure that the HeaderControllerWidget is below the eBaseMapSwitcherWidget.

i.e.

    <!-- UI elements -->     <widget left="10"  top="50"    config="widgets/Navigation/NavigationWidget.xml" url="widgets/Navigation/NavigationWidget.swf"/>     <widget right="-2" bottom="-2" config="widgets/OverviewMap/OverviewMapWidget.xml" url="widgets/OverviewMap/OverviewMapWidget.swf"/>     <widget right="15" top="55"    config="widgets/eMapSwitcher/eMapSwitcherWidget2.xml" url="widgets/eMapSwitcher/eMapSwitcherWidget.swf"/>     <widget left="0"   top="0"     config="widgets/HeaderController/HeaderControllerWidget.xml" url="widgets/HeaderController/HeaderControllerWidget.swf"/>

For changing the "more" button label:

<configuration>     <layerlist visible="true">         <!-- <excludelayer>The Label Of Some Layer In Main Config File</excludelayer> -->     </layerlist>     <showthumbnails>false</showthumbnails>     <labels>         <layerlistlabel>Layers</layerlistlabel>     </labels> </configuration>
