Hi Steve,


Unfortunately that didn't work! But I did manage to get the ID
chracteristic outputted as I forgot to include that previously.
As when I went to edit the query.html page it shows this

ID      Name    Type
1275
[name]
[type]


Here is the code that is causing issues for me...

<!-- MapServer Template -->
<!--<IMG
src="http://[host]/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=INDEXQUERY&qformat=png24&qlayer=mjrroads&shapeindex=[shpidx]&shpext=[shpext_esc]&mapext=shape&map=[map]";>-->
<tr>
  <td>[shpidx]</td>
     <tr><td>[name]</td></tr>
  <tr><td>[type]</td></tr>
</tr>

Attribute binding is case sensitive. For shapefiles it should beUPPERCASE and for postgis it should be lowercase.

Also, you tags are not nested correctly, you have a tr nested inside atr. :-O

While this is the code for the header...

<!-- MapServer Template -->
<h3><b>Layer: Major Roads</b></h3>
<br>
<INPUT NAME="img" TYPE="image" SRC="[img]" width=500 height=500 border=0
ALT="Map Image">
<table border=1>
<tr>&nbsp;</td>
  <th>ID</th>
  <th>Name</th>
  <th>Type</th>
</tr>

As what i'm trying to do is get the name (name of road outputted) and
the type (either expressway or major road)

Thanks,
Mark

You need to refer to the attributes next…

<tr><td>[NAME]</td><td>[TYPE]</td></tr>

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your help. I've managed to get the query outputted. I have a
couple of additional questions...after creating my query I need the
footer to show the "name" and the "type" (based on the shapefile
information), as based on the footer.html below

<!-- MapServer Template -->
<h3><b>Layer: Major Roads</b></h3>
<br>
<INPUT NAME="img" TYPE="image" SRC="[img]" width=500 height=500 border=0
ALT="Map Image">
<table border=1>
<tr>&nbsp;</td>
  <th>Name</th>
  <th>Type</th>
</tr>

  As when I launch my query it only shows...

*Name*

        

*Type*

        



Based on readings from the mapserver website, it looks like I have to
edit the query.html to make this populated...but not sure where
(global.map file?) I can get this information that is supposed to go
between the <td> and </td> tags.

<!-- MapServer Template -->
<!--<IMG
src="http://[host]/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=INDEXQUERY&qformat=png24&qlayer=mjrroads&shapeindex=[shpidx]&shpext=[shpext_esc]&mapext=shape&map=[map]";>-->
<tr>
  <td> </td>
  <td></td>
</tr>

Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark: Personally I'd steer you to the simplified query templates as 
described here:

http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-36.html

This allows you to put everything in one place and better separates data from 
presentation. No more header/footer's. Plus you can have multiple presentations 
for the same layer.

That said, the mapfile below doesn't have any queryable layers. There is no 
TEMPLATE defined for the one layer that is present.

If you want to use the new style templating you'd do something like this:

1- Define an output format:

OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME 'my-template'
DRIVER 'TEMPLATE'
MIMETYPE 'text/html; subtype=compass'
FORMATOPTION "FILE=templates/my-template.html"
END

2- Optionally make it the default query format (otherwise you need to use 
qformat CGI parameter):

WEB
QUERYFORMAT 'my-template'
...
END

3- Make layers queryable by adding something like:

TEMPLATE 'void'

4- Write your template, for example my-template.html might look like:

--- snip ---
<!-- MapServer Template -->
This is my template:<br/>

[resultset layer="mjrroads"]
[feature]<b>Type</b>: [TYPE][/feature]
[/resultset]

Done presenting layers.
--- snip ---

Subject: [mapserver-users] query creation issues

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to create a query so I can query the roads/expressways from the map. 
I'm pretty sure I have created the headers and footers correctly but not 
sure...regardless i'm not entirely too sure where to stick the particular code 
in my .map file (shown  below). I have bolded the code that I'm trying to 
incorporate into the

.map file but not sure why it's not working. Thanks Mark
