Hey, I created a WMS-T layer from a time series image mosaic as follows.
- Ran gdaltindex on the tiff files to generate the index shapefle called index.shp. - I edited the index.shp file in QGIS and added another column called "timeWater" and added the time value in YYYY-MM-DD format next to each location entry. - I added this layer to the mapfie as follows. *LAYERNAME "Inundation" TYPE RASTER STATUS ON DEBUG ON PROJECTION "init=epsg:4326" END METADATA "wms_title" "INUN_WMS_T" "wms_srs" "EPSG:4326" "wms_extent" "67.6 7.34 97.7 38.74" "wms_timeextent" "2015-12-01/2015-12-03" "wms_timeitem" "timeWater" #timeWater is a column in the index shapefile specifying time value for each tiff image "wms_timedefault" "2015-12-03" "wms_timeformat" "YYYY-MM-DD" END #TILEITEM "location" #filepath is a column in postgis table with varchar of the filepath to each image TILEINDEX "index" #index is the name of the shape file generated with gdaltindex FILTER (`[timeWater]` = `2015-12-03`)CLASS #class to show the image in red STYLE COLOR 236 0 0 END # STYLE END # CLASSEND* The TILEINDEX property is set to "index" which is the name of the index shapefile haveing the path and time in its columns. The paths to the TIFF files are in the "location" column. The time field is in the column "timeWater". The *GetCapabilities* request now shows my layer with a *<Dimension></Dimension>* field in it so I assume it has been published properly as a layer. Despite this when I make a GetMap request to this layer I get a blank image in png format and a black image in jpeg format. I*s the TILEINDEX property in the map file the name of the shape file or the name of a PostGIS table?* Any idea on what could be wrong? Note: The paths mentioned in the index shapefile are correct and relative to the map file. The index shapefile has also been placed in the same directory as the .map file.
