My major question is can I do this with a String/text field? Its the only way I can see keeping things in a %2Y%2M%2D format ex. 092110 (Sept 21st 2010), otherwise the 0 will get removed in a numeric field Can I use the format Year, Month, Day? Or do I have to use Month, Day, Year?
In this example I eliminated two expressions and focused on one Expression to see if it is working. I kept this <map-source name="Burglaries" type="mapserver"> <file>./maple_grove_datasets/police/Burglaries.map</file> <param type="today" offset="-7" name="LASTWEEK" format="%2Y%2M%2D" /> <param type="today" offset="-14" name="LASTTWOWEEKS" format="%2Y%2M%2D" /> <param type="today" offset="-30" name="LASTTHIRTY" format="%2Y%2M%2D" /> <param type="today" offset="-90" name="LASTNINTY" format="%2Y%2M%2D" /> <layer name="Burglaries"/> </map-source> In my map file I used ONLY this CLASS NAME 'Last Weeks' EXPRESSION ('[dateValues]' > '%LASTTWOWEEKS%') STYLE COLOR 0 100 50 SYMBOL "bike" SIZE 12 END END Now in my data I have these values (below), although every symbol was displayed in the map NOTE THIS IS A TEXT FIELD 081204, 081225,090118 These values (above) for the Year, Month, Day format specified in the map source are clearly less than the "last two weeks", Where as they are older than the last 14 days....so none of them should show up, but they do Any thoughts From: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Bob Basques Sent: Friday, September 17, 2010 9:25 PM To: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Expressions A first stab at seeing more than one class, might be to try and switch them around order wise, one filter may be overwriting the other for example. bobb On 9/17/2010 8:20 AM, Jay Kapalczynski wrote: I am using GeoMoose but feel this is more a question for Map Server. I am trying to sort my points by dates using the code below....I think that I can do this but not sure Is this a viable format "2Y%2M%2D" ? As for the field in the shapefile...If I use an integer it removes the 0 from the 092110, (sept 21st 2010) If I use a date then there are "/" ... 9/21/10 The only way I can see this happening is using a text field with retains the 0 in 092110 When I use the textfield "dateValues" as seen below I can get the stars to draw but only the LASTWEEK...for some reason the LASTTWOWEEKS does not show and I know that I have a few records with dates in the last 14 days... Thoughts? THANKS....all your help is very appreciated....
