You can give them the same URL that you use when previewing the web layout
from Studio. They will need a username and password that you provide, but
you can also use some hidden URL paramaters to solve this by using the
default anonymous user. This way they will not be issued the login
challenge/response dialog. Here is an example:

http://localhost/mapguide/mapviewerajax/?WEBLAYOUT=Library%3a%2f%2fSamples%2fSheboygan%2fLayouts%2fSheboyganPhp.WebLayout&LOCALE=en&USERNAME=Anonymous&PASSWORD=

Resource was not found: Library://Samples/Sheboygan/Layouts/SheboyganPhp.WebLayout
Resource was not found: Library://Samples/Sheboygan/Layouts/SheboyganPhp.WebLayout Exception occurred in method MgResourceDefinitionManager.GetDocument at line 476 in file c:\build_tux_area\mgdev_opensource\server\src\services\resource\ResourceDefinitionManager.cpp

I am a newbie . sorry if I bother you . can you explain more clearly ? And what you said about showing on internet or intranet ?

The URL I provided was only an example, you need to substitute with your own
information. In MapGuide Studio, if you open the web layout that you
created in edit mode, look at the section where it says "Preview in browser
using AJAX Viewer". Copy that URL to your browser and this is the same URL
that you can provide to your users. Only, you can also add on the
&USERNAME=Anonymous&PASSWORD= parameters to the URL so they do not have to
input a username and password.

So , do they have to install Maguide on their computer to view my web ?

No, the client does not need to install anything if you are using the AJAX
version of the web layout. Just give them the URL and they should be able
to open it in their browser.

I'm really not sure what else I can do for you here. When you view a web
layout in edit mode in Studio, it shows you the URL to preview that web
layout in a browser. If you copy that to a browser, do you see your web
layout? If you do, then just give that URL to your users and they should be
able to see the same thing. Or, are you developing locally and referencing
localhost? If so, they need to access your web server via the name or IP
address so substitute that for localhost.

I mean that my web is web layout made by using mapguide Opensource and mapguide studio .

[hoang2002]

yeah , that's right I am developing locally and referencing
localhost . Sorry to not telling you clearly . So do I have to buy a host server and use a software (cute fpt , ect..) to upload it ?

[Anonymous]

Yes, you would have to install and configure MapGuide server and the web
extensions on a web server that is exposed to the internet. Yes, you can
configure and use FTP to transfer the files from you local development
computer to your production computer on the internet.

Andy,

We got your suggestion to work with the Ajax viewer but not the DWF viewer. Is that possible? Also is it possible to add the "&USERNAME=Anonymous&PASSWORD=" to the URL that you use when previewing the web layout from Studio?

Thanks for you advice!

Hi Kristy,
It's just a personal preference of mine to try to use the AJAX viewer for as
much as possible since the DWF Viewer only runs on Internet Explorer. For
internal-only sites where IE is mandated, than the DWF viewer may be just
fine (or preferable). Yes, you can add the URL parameters you show below to
the URL for a web layout.

Andy,

Okay....For some reason when I open Studio I get and error which says "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site https://server-xxx/mapguide/mapviewerdwf/?WEBLAYOUT=Library%3a%2f%2fGLEN%2f0400%2fMOD+01%2fWeb+Layouts%2fMOD+01.WebLayout&LOCALE=en. Operation Aborted". When I say okay to the error I can make any changes I need and save them but when I refresh the preview at the bottom I get the error again.

If I add "&USERNAME=Anonymous&PASSWORD=", to the URL it works perfectly in Ajax but with DWF viewer even though I've added that it still asks me for the username/password (my web layout then comes up fine). If I refresh the window I get the same error as above except with the "&USERNAME=Anonymous&PASSWORD=" added at the end of the address. Any thoughts??

Sorry this is such a long question, I hope it makes sense.

Thanks again,
Kristy

It sounds like there are security issues with your mapguide virtual
directory in IIS. Go into the properties of the mapagent directory in IIS,
go to Security, then uncheck allow anonymous access but check Integrated
Windows Authentication. See if that helps.

Andy,

After we changed the access to the virtual directory the Administrator/Admin, login/password for Studio wouldn't allow access and the "Anonymous" login required a password. Sorry to be such a pain but is there any other suggestions that we could try?

Thanks,

Kristy,
I really don't have any suggestions at this point without looking at your
site. Hopefully somebody else here will chime in with some advice.

Thanks Andy! We'll just keep searching for a possible solution. Hopefully someone out there will have some ideas.

Thanks again for all your help.
