Hi

the edit plugin was not intended to allow the modification of the coordinates 
manualy.
what we did in a project was to add two extra inputs and then override the sql 
update query by inserting the modified corrdinates.
the sql queries are in file ServerEdit.php, there is only one UPDATE query.

see 
http://www.cartoweb.org/doc/cw3.4/xhtml/dev.newplugin.html#dev.newplugin.adapting.extending
 to extend a existing plugin functionnalities

regards
Oliver

  Subject: [Cartoweb-users] how to edit the X and Y coordonates from a point 
with the "edit" plugin


  Hello,

  I try to modify the "edit" plugin for CW3 and I'm completely blocked.

  I want to give my users the ability to edit the X and Y coordonates from a 
point. 

  I found how to retrive the values into the differents input fields when I 
choose the "EDIT tool"(the arrow one) but it seems it's coming right from the 
mapfile ('edit_attributes' 
'id,date_ouverture|string,requerant|string,the_geom|string,... in the METADATA 
zone in my layer definiton) and my problem is that I'm not able to use postGis 
functions (such as X(geometry) y(geometry or astext(geometry)) in that call.

  By the way, is there a place where I can modify the postGIS request ?

  Marie
