00:23:13 mandsch: Testbaudson: good morning.
00:25:25 Testbaudson: hi mandsch
00:26:03 mandsch: just wanted to ask about the integration of the print module and the rotation module ...
00:26:17 mandsch: I am currently updating my trunk
00:26:28 mandsch: then merging into the print dev branch
00:26:44 mandsch: so i should be uptodate sometime today. ...
00:28:03 Testbaudson: we should take a look at your form for printing
00:28:12 Testbaudson: and add a button for the print frame
00:28:22 Testbaudson: and the other for elements
00:28:26 Testbaudson: for scale and angle
00:29:17 mandsch: ok, these input fields are mandatory i assume?
00:29:51 Testbaudson: the question is, whether the print frame is the only way of selecting the printable area
00:29:59 mandsch: exactly ...
00:30:08 Testbaudson: do you think this is the most intuitive way?
00:30:41 mandsch: I think it is very intuitive, when used in its basic from
00:31:11 mandsch: rotation is i guess a more advanced feature
00:31:31 mandsch: that no so many users will need os use
00:31:56 mandsch: also because of the limitations due to the wms services...
00:32:00 Testbaudson: maybe we make it configurable
00:32:03 Testbaudson: via element vars
00:32:09 Testbaudson: rotatable yes/no
00:32:15 mandsch: but the print frame is definitly the most intuitive way.
00:32:20 mandsch: +1
00:32:28 Testbaudson: then the angle form and the circle would not appear
00:32:33 Testbaudson: ok
00:32:45 mandsch: actually this coudl also go into the configuration ...
00:33:14 mandsch: the json config of the print module.
00:33:24 Testbaudson: good idea
00:33:59 mandsch: i have prepared this already ... at least a littel bit.
00:34:07 Testbaudson: the JSON filename is an element varthen?
00:34:15 Testbaudson: var then?
00:34:17 mandsch: an array ...
00:34:47 mandsch: beacuse configuration = template
00:34:48 Testbaudson: ok, so the json is entered directly as an element var?
00:35:10 mandsch: so if you want to give the user the chance to choose between three tenmplates you 'll need three configs ...
00:35:21 Testbaudson: I see
00:35:29 mandsch: no, no ... wait ... look here :
00:35:52 mandsch: http://www.mapbender.org/PrintPDF_with_template_-_JSON_configuration
00:35:53 sigq: Title: PrintPDF with template - JSON configuration - MapbenderWiki ( at www.mapbender.org )
00:36:27 Testbaudson: ok, good documentation
00:36:37 mandsch: it's just a start
00:37:48 Testbaudson: maybe we can discuss the details at monday's IRC meeting
00:37:56 Testbaudson: will you be there?
00:37:57 mandsch: where can i find the rotation module ... in trunk?
00:38:03 mandsch: i guess, yes.
00:38:09 Testbaudson: I'm afraid not
00:38:15 Testbaudson: it's in a Whereroup SVN
00:38:21 mandsch: ok...
