Description From Bart van den Eijnden 2005-02-16 06:09:51

The current mechanism for defining new popups which emerge from the
LegendTemplate requires changing the LegendTemplate.widget.php file.

We have added two popups to the LegendTemplate:

    var $moMetadataPopup;  // Popup object for Metadata dialog
    var $moScalesPopup;    // Popup object for Scales info

Could a more generic plugin mechanism be developed through which third-parties
can more easily plugin their popups to the LegendTemplate, without maintaining a
separate version of the widget?

Any thoughts on this?
