That's it, I thought the SQL tag wasn't required as I didn't need to filter the postgis data. Now it works:
<searchitem name="tree" description="Tree"> <layer type="postgis" name="tree"> <field type="n" name="id_tree" description="Tree" wildcard="2"> <definition type="suggest" connectiontype="db" minlength="1" startleft="1" sort="asc"> <dsn encoding="UTF-8">pgsql://user:pass@localhost /db_name</dsn> <sql>SELECT DISTINCT id_tree FROM tree ORDER BY id_tree</sql> </definition> </field> </layer> </searchitem> Thanx a lot Armin! About modifying the wiki page<http://svn.pmapper.net/trac/wiki/DocManualsearch>, I still have to find how to do that... In the meantime, here under the first postgis/suggest example simplified with the minimal attributes needed: <searchitem name="cities_suggest_pg" description="Cities Suggest PG"> <layer type="postgis" name="cities10000eu_pg"> <field type="s" name="name" description="City" wildcard="2"> <definition type="suggest" connectiontype="db" sort="asc" minlength="1"> <dsn encoding="UTF-8">pgsql://postgres:postgres@localhost/gisdb</dsn> <sql>SELECT DISTINCT name FROM cities10000eu_pg ORDER BY name</sql> </definition> </field> </layer> </searchitem> On Thu, Apr 12, 2012 at 5:48 AM, Armin Burger <armin.bur...@gmail.com>wrote: > why don't you try a definition similar to the settings from the wiki > for exactly Postgis and suggest (there is one...)? you are for sure > missing the <sql> tag.
