Popups are a specialized Window that supports anchoring to a particular location in a MapPanel. When a popup is anchored to a location, that means that the popup will visibly point to the location on the map, and move accordingly when the map is panned or zoomed.

Example Use

Sample code to create a popup anchored to a feature:

var popup = new GeoExt.Popup({
    title: "My Popup",
    location: feature,
    width: 200,
    html: "<div>Popup content</div>",
    collapsible: true
});

Config Options

Configuration properties in addition to those listed for Ext.Window.

ancCls

String CSS class name for the popup’s anchor.

anchored

Boolean The popup begins anchored to its location. Default is true.

anchorPosition

String Controls the anchor position for the popup. If set to auto, the anchor will be positioned on the top or the bottom of the window, minimizing map movement. Supported values are bottom-left, bottom-right, top-left, top-right or auto. Defaults to auto.

autoLoad

Boolean If set to true, the capabilities will be loaded upon instance creation, and loadCapabilities does not need to be called manually. Setting this when capabilities and no url is provided has no effect. Default is false.

baseParams

Object Key-value pairs of base params to be add to every request to the service. Optional.

capabilities

Object Capabilities of the print service. Only required if url is not provided. This is the object returned by the info.json endpoint of the print service, and is usually obtained by including a script tag pointing to http://path/to/printservice/info.json?var=myvar in the head of the html document, making the capabilities accessible as window.myvar. This property should be used when no local print service or proxy is available, or when you do not listen for the loadcapabilities events before creating components that require the PrintProvider’s capabilities to be available.

encoding

String The encoding to set in the headers when requesting the print service. Prevent character encoding issues, especially when using IE. Default is retrieved from document charset or characterSet if existing or UTF-8 if not.

location

OpenLayers.Feature.Vector or OpenLayers.LonLat or OpenLayers.Pixel or OpenLayers.Geometry A location for this popup’s anchor.

map

OpenLayers.Map or GeoExt.MapPanel The map this popup will be anchored to (only required if anchored is set to true and the map cannot be derived from the location’s layer.

method

String Either POST or GET (case-sensitive). Method to use when sending print requests to the servlet. If the print service is at the same origin as the application (or accessible via proxy), then POST is recommended. Use GET when accessing a remote print service with no proxy available, but expect issues with character encoding and URLs exceeding the maximum length. Default is POST.

panIn

Boolean The popup should pan the map so that the popup is fully in view when it is rendered. Default is true.

popupCls

String CSS class name for the popup DOM elements. Default is “gx-popup”.

printProvider

GeoExt.data.PrintProvider The print provider to use with this plugin’s field. Not required if set on the owner container of the field.

timeout

Number Timeout of the POST Ajax request used for the print request (in milliseconds). Default of 30 seconds. Has no effect if method is set to GET.

unpinnable

Boolean The popup should have a “unpin” tool that unanchors it from its location. Default is true.

url

String Base url of the print service. Only required if capabilities is not provided. This is usually something like http://path/to/mapfish/print for Mapfish, and http://path/to/geoserver/pdf for GeoServer with the printing extension installed. This property requires that the print service is at the same origin as the application (or accessible via proxy).
