[GeoNetwork-users] Setting search maps default zoom and center - GN v2.10.2 HTML5UI

shireeb · February 5, 2014, 2:15am

Hi,

We would like to zoom in and center the search maps on a specific country
(NZ) by default without disabling pan.

This question has been raised a few times and we have tried the various
changes suggested with no luck.

We are on GN v2.10.2 and are using the HTML5UI.

Any help much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Help please I am going around in circles.

We are using OSM based maps.

I have tried (in debug mode, so that the non minified files are used) adding
a center and zoom to:

center : new
OpenLayers.LonLat(174.55,-41.10).transform("EPSG:4326","EPSG:900913")

And to the:

center: GeoNetwork.map.MAIN_MAP_OPTIONS.center.clone()
center: GeoNetwork.map.MAP_OPTIONS.center.clone()

I have also played around with disabling the restrictedExtent and setting
wrapDateLine to true.

Nothing has worked. Any suggestions very welcomed.

Many Thanks for your help

Hi,

To reply to my own post for anyone looking to do a similar thing. Note may
not be the best way to achieve but does work.

Centering search map:
Add /center: new
OpenLayers.LonLat(174.55,-41.10).transform("EPSG:4326","EPSG:900913"),
zoom : 4,/ to var geomWithMapField in SearchApp.js
(https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/blob/2.10.x/web-client/src/main/resources/apps/html5ui/js/search/SearchApp.js#L293)
Also comment out MAP_OPTIONS restrictedExtent in Settings.js

Centering metadata view and edit mode map:
Add /center: new
OpenLayers.LonLat(174.55,-41.10).transform("EPSG:4326","EPSG:900913"),/ to
createMap options in ExtentMap.js
(https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/blob/2.10.x/web-client/src/main/resources/apps/js/GeoNetwork/lib/GeoNetwork/map/ExtentMap.js#L118)
And also comment out the /restrictedExtent/

Regards
