RE: [mapserver-users] Dynamic intersection color with MapServer?

2009-05-08 Thread Jim Strevinas
Hi Kreshna, I don't think it is possible to achieve this with the cgi. Possibly some application logic using mapscript could do. I have a simpler idea though, if the map will be used for just presenting the data (not analysing) you could assign an OPACITY parameter to the layers A,B,C and color

Hi Peter, Please correct me if i am wrong. I saw earlier that you use Bill Kropla's example application. Thus you use a NON-spatial DB which keeps the longitute, latitude data as floats. Afterwards you manually query the DB as you posted and use the results to populate the table.

RE: [mapserver-users] problem with mapserver

2009-05-05 Thread Jim Strevinas
Hello Ahmed, This is almost surely happened because the script alias is not active for your cgi-bin folder. I suppose you use apache: 1. Try to restart your apache (google) or 2. check your httpd.conf file, it should contain a scriptalias pointing to the cgi-bin folder.

RE: [mapserver-users] Inconsistency between 5.4 and 5.2.1 concerningWhichShapes()?

2009-04-28 Thread Jim Strevinas
? Probably stems from the fix put in place for ticket #2689 (http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2689). That fix may need more work as I imagine the msLayerWhichItems() is clobbering the item setup done when the layer is opened. Hmmm, how to fix... Steve Jim Strevinas voas_...@hotmail.com

[mapserver-users] Inconsistency between 5.4 and 5.2.1 concerning WhichShapes()?
