Hi Tim,

it can be but there is currently no official open source version of fusion that works with mapserver. We are currently in the process of moving fusion to osgeo servers at which time a community can grow around both mapguide and mapserver back-ends.

That being said, you can edit config.json in fusion to set the appropriate values for your mapserver install and set up a map in the application definition using MapServer as the type and give a MapFile path in the extension ... something like:

  <MapSet xsi:type="MapSetType">
    <MapGroup id="gmap" xsi:type="MapType">
      <Map xsi:type="MapLayerType">
        <Type>MapServer</Type>
        <SingleTile>true</SingleTile>
        <Extension>
            <MapFile>/ms4w/apps/gmap/htdocs/gmap75.map</MapFile>
        </Extension>
      </Map>
    </MapGroup>
  </MapSet>

and then change the MapWidget tag to point to the id of the map group (gmap in the above example) and it should all just work. Note that mapserver support requires that you have php_mapscript and a valid session.save_path set up in php.ini

Also, the name of the php_mapscript module is hardcoded in fusion/ MapServer/php/Common.php so if you want something other than:

$szPHPMapScriptModule = 'php_mapscript.'.PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX;

you will need to manually change it there for now.

Cheers

Paul

Anybody have experience using the Fusion framework with the UMN
MapServer. We currently have a UMN MapServer running and I'd really like
to move to the Fusion framework, as I've heard it could be used with
MapServer. I'd like as much information as possible to speed up my
migration time. Thanks.
