Re: [mapguide-users] Corrupted .idx files for shp file connections

[Berg, James]

I think I may have found the cause of the issue:

First, I was able to reproduce the .idx file corruption by selecting one of the 
features in the layer created from the affected shp file. Then I toggled the 
layer on and off until the .idx file was corrupted. Doing this without he 
selection didn't seem to break it.

We discovered that the affected shp file had a record in it that did not have 
an associated polygon. We deleted that record and tried again. We were unable 
to corrupt the .idx file using the above method anymore. The record with the 
unassociated polygon was declared the cause and deleting was declared our fix.

Thanks for responding, everyone. Like usual, posting here has a way of helping 
me figure stuff out.

[mapguide-users] Corrupted .idx files for shp file connections

[Berg, James]

MapGuide Open Source 2.5.2
Windows Server 2008 x64
Maestro 5.1

Occasionally layers created from unmanaged shp file feature sources will no 
longer display. I can fix this by deleting the .idx file for the affected shp 
file. The idx file is regenerated the next time the layer is viewed and the 
layer starts working again.

Throughout the MapGuide User mailing list, this issue and solution is 
mentioned, however, this occurs around twice a month in our application and we 
would prefer that the issue not occur at all.

Does anyone know exactly why this happens? It's been suggested that the 
permanent solution is to switch from shp files to sdf or SQL Server spatial. I 
don't have a problem with using different data sources if there's no way to 
make shp files reliable.

Let me know what you think, It'll help me out a lot.

From what I’ve read here and there, the Java api is infrequently used. At the

At the most, I would expect the api itself to be buggy.

PHP and .NET appear to be equally used and have good documentation. .NET might 
be used a bit more.

Re: [mapguide-users] MapGuide crashes at rendering the Tile from Basemap.

[Berg, James]

Pre-caching tiles with mgcooker generally takes a long time, and from the way 
you describe your maps, generating tiles for all of your scales is going to 
take a crazy amount of time.

In my application I only tile scales 1:500 or higher. Every time I've  tried to 
tile more than that mgcooker crashes. So no, I personally don't see a way for 
you to tile those smaller scales reliably.

You don't need to nest concat() as of mapguide 2.4. You only need to seperate

like this (not guaranteed to work because I can't check it).

Re: [mapguide-users] mapguide-rest feedback

[Berg, James]

Fusion doesn't render its layers with REST, so I can't image it would. The way 
I see it, REST has nothing to do with the existing viewers or their 
functionality. It's a new method of sending and receiving map information. 
Fusion and AJAX already have their ways of sending and getting data. A viewer 
that could toggle layers on and off implementing REST would be a fundamentally 
different viewer.

Re: [mapguide-users] mapguide-rest feedback

[Berg, James]

I've been using MapGuide REST to develop some custom printing functionality.

In particular I've I'm interested in the PDF and DWF output. The layered PDF 
functionality I couldn't use because it doesn't work with maps with base map 
groups yet.

The DWF output has been really helpful because you can template it with a 
PrintLayout. The printlayout features are most important. The visible legend 
and scale are pretty much essential when doing anything engineering related. 
DWF is also great because users can markup the page using something like 
Autodesk Design Review. PDF is a great output for users who don't know how to 
convert things to PDF. In my world, if it can't be turned into a PDF, it need 
not exist.

The PrintLayout resource editor in Maestro is pretty limited, but out of the 
box is does what we need.

Other things I'm planning to use REST for:

Creation of a new mobile viewer based on REST and either OpenLayers or Leaflet 
could be in the future. It's all theoretical, though. If I'm going the make a 
whole new viewer I'd rather use REST than the mapagent. Seems simpler that way.

I can't think of any new features to include yet. It'll come up, though. 
MapGuide REST looks pretty important to me.

[mapguide-users] Map scales inaccurate by %13.528

[Berg, James]

MapGuide Open Source 2.5.2
Windows Server 2008 64-bit

It looks to me like map scales are inaccurate. According to my calculations 
they're off by %13.528.

Here's how to demonstrate the inaccuracy:

Open localhost/mapguide/dotnetsamples/main.aspx

Zoom to scale 1:1000

Draw a line that is one foot long using the measure tool.

The measurement of the line according to the task pane is 0.14 miles. If this 
is converted to feet that's about 7392 feet.

Since the current zoom scale is 1:1000 you would expect a foot long measure 
redline to be 1000 feet, not 7392.

Re: [mapguide-users] MapGuide REST units for DWF scale using printLayout

[Berg, James]

I figured it out. Posting my problems here tends to help me organize my 
thoughts and solve problems. Hope you don't mind.

The solution was from an old mapguide user post: 
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/scale-bar-always-says-Meters-td4203151.html

I edited rest\app\controller\mappingservicecontroller.php. Look for the 
function GeneratePlot(). This function affects DWFs created from runtime maps. 
To change the scale units for DWFs created from the library you would have to 
edit GeneratePlotFromMapDefinition(). The source code is pretty similar in 
both. One gets the map from Session, the other gets it from Library:\\.

Find the lines:

if ($printLayoutStr != null) {
 $layoutRes = new MgResourceIdentifier($printLayoutStr);
 $layout = new MgLayout($layoutRes, $title, MgPageUnitsType::Inches);
}

This checks if you're your REST request includes the path to a printlayout 
resource in Library:\\.  If so, it creates an MgLayout object. The third 
parameter in the constructor is what we're concerned with.

The parameter appears to be a constant, so you would think that the units would 
be imperial to start with. According the post, the constant doesn't work 
properly and we can work around it by including the actual string: "US-English"

Now the code reads:

if ($printLayoutStr != null) {
 $layoutRes = new MgResourceIdentifier($printLayoutStr);
 $layout = new MgLayout($layoutRes, $title, "US-English");
}

If I could request a change to make this less confusing, it would be that the 
third parameter for the MgLayout object be dependent on some kind of global 
configuration so it doesn't need to be edited manually.

Mauricio is right. Session ID and mapname are all of the parameters needed to 
perform tasks using the MapGuide web server API. Passing them to your custom 
programming code through querystring is perfectly valid.

Keep in mind, however, that if users try to bookmark urls for pages that rely 
on sessionIDs passed from querystring later on these sessionIDs will be 
expired. This can cause errors if not handled properly.

Re: [mapguide-users] Mapguide RAM usage increase

[Berg, James]

The creation of MapGuide sessions for sure is related to the size of RAM

and occasional peaks of RAM usage is expected.

If RAM usage increases during times when maps are not being used that might 
require a bit more thought.

I am also interested in the answer to this question. The scaling of my

MGOS running a portion of the maps we serve.

The strategy is de-centralized and doesn’t implement any failover capability 
and each server can’t share resources when one is stressed. This isn’t an ideal 
solution.

[mapguide-users] Where does mgcooker CPU usage come from?

[Berg, James]

Question:

If you run mgcooker from a remote computer separate from the server that hosts 
mapguide, does the processing take place on the remote computer's CPU or the 
server's CPU?

What I'd like to do is run mgcooker on one of my computers that has the most 
CPU cores and ramp up the concurrent thread requests to speed up the process.

I used to think mgcooker always processed on the host server. If that's not the 
case that would be pretty sweet.

Before I save my map I rename the folder appending _bak at the end. This

Then I open the _bak folder and cut/past its contents into the newly created

Re: [mapguide-users] MapGuide Maestro6.0a3 and Raster.

[Berg, James]

If you're using 64-bit MapGuide you should stick with the 64-bit binaries.

This is the part where you're going to need to use dependency walker and track 
down which dlls you're missing.

Put walker on your server and open gdal_MrSID.dll which should be in your 
bin/gdal folder by now. Next you'll need to add your bin and fdo folders to the 
list of folders dependency walker checks for binaries.

Options --> Configure Module Search Order... 

Use the browse button and add both the bin and fdo folder and click Add 
Directory. Allow walker to refresh the session when prompted. Walker will tell 
you which dlls are missing, but some are okay to not have. My copy of 
gdal_MrSid.dll works even though walker reports that IESHIMS.DLL and WER.DLL 
are missing.

If you're missing a dll there really isn't much you can do other than track it 
down on the internet and copy it to your bin folder.

Also, I didn't mention this, but you have to restart the mapguide service in 
order for any of this to take effect.

I used MapGuide 2.4 and you're using MapGuide 2.5. Between those versions FDO

you're using 64-bit; that will require different binaries.

Try this set of binaries:

http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Step-by-Step-for-ECW-and-MGOS-2-4-td4995445.html#a4995528

Server\bin\libecwj2.dll
Server\bin\lti_dsdk_dll.dll
Server\bin\gdalplugins\gdal_ECW_JP2ECW.dll <-- don't need that unless you also 
want ECW (which requires additional steps anyway)
Server\bin\gdalplugins\gdal_MrSID.dll
Server\Fdo\gdal16.dll <-- this one is called "gdal19.dll" now because 2.4/2.5 
uses gdal 1.9

Re: [mapguide-users] MapGuide Maestro6.0a3 and Raster.

[Berg, James]

What dlls you need will depend on which version of MapGuide OS you have because 
different versions use different version of FDO. Version 2.4 and 2.5 use FDO 
3.8, I believe, and the newest 2.6 uses FDO 3.9.

What version of MapGuide are you using?

You also need different dlls depending on if you use the 32 or 64 bit version 
of MapGuide (the version of Maestro doesn’t enter into it.) You also need to 
add the dlls to specific folders in your MapGuide installation. Like I 
mentioned, all of this will require some research. I recommend searching this 
mailing list and highly recommend using dependency walker to avoid drowning in 
missing dll hell.

If you’re using 2.4 or 2.5, here’s a tutorial I wrote to remind myself how to 
install Mr Sid support. Remember, you’ll need different dlls depending on your 
MapGuide version and bitness.

This web page describes how to install the plugin on MGOS 2.2. Do not use the 
dlls listed here; they are out of date. It provides a list of where the plugins 
should go which is useful.
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MGOS22GdalProvider
This web page is from the MapGuide Users mailing list. It describes how to 
install the ECW plugin for GDAL. It shows where to find the plugins and where 
they should go. The dlls needed for ECW are simliar to Mr Sid so the steps 
apply.
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Step-by-Step-for-ECW-and-MGOS-2-4-td4995445.html#a4995528
The dll files can be downloaded here as indicated in the web page above. 
Download the first file. These are the right files assuming you version of MGOS 
is still on a 32bit OS uses GDAL ver 1.9.

Re: [mapguide-users] MapGuide Maestro6.0a3 and Raster.

[Berg, James]

Before you start creating Mr Sid raster feature sources, you should know that 
MapGuide Open Source does not support Mr Sid by default. You need to install 
the .dlls manually (a fairly complicated process.) Have you tried creating 
rasters in other formats such as tiff or png? If you haven't you should try 
that first and figure out Mr Sid after you know how to create at least one 
working feature source. 

I wrote a little tutorial on creating raster feature sources for personal 
reference that might be helpful (possibly outdated, though)

1.  Click the "New Resource" button and select "Feature Source" in the 
window that appears and click the "Add" button.
2.  In the "Select FDO Provider" window, select "GDAL Provider" and click 
"OK."
3.  In the "GDAL Feature Source" tab that appears ensure that the "Single" 
radio button in the "Type" group is checked.
4.  Click either "..." browse buttons in the "File" group or "Alias" group. 
Clicking the button in the File group will create a manage feature source and 
clicking the button in the Alias group will create an unmanaged feature source.
Note: Using the Alias group to create an unmanaged feature source will require 
that the path to the file folder location be set up in the MapGuide 
Administrator first. See: Configuring External Files.
5.  Using the browse window that appears, select the needed raster image 
and click the "Open" button. The image path will appear in the "File or Folder 
path" textbox.
6.   Create a coordinate system override that will match the coordinate 
system of the map and other layers. Save and name the feature source.

[mapguide-users] Repository corruption from multiple users creating redlines?

[Berg, James]

Windows Server 2003 32-bit
MapGuide Open Source 2.5.2
Maestro 5.1
ASP.NET + C# programming code (.NET 4.0)

Hello, all

I've been researching the feasibility of implementing a new function for our 
GIS product. First, I'd like to query if the following scenario is plausible:

1. User identifies an existing line or point layer whose feature source/class 
should be copied
2. A copy of the layer's feature source is saved permanently to the repository 
in SDF format. I imagine this could be done a couple ways:
a. Use MgFeatureService to copy the feature source (I imagine this 
is slow)
b. Use some other FDO api (maybe Fdo2Fdo would work? Not really 
familiar with other APIs, but will use them if they're faster)
3. From now on, the user can add the new sdf feature source to their map at 
run-time with a generic layer definition (maybe library references to saved 
SDFs feature sources are stored in a SQL table or something.)
4. After adding the new layer to the map, the user can create, update, and 
delete rows and values from the sdf feature source using the MgFeatureService
5. The user saves their changes to the sdf feature source back to the 
repository.

The purpose of this is so users can create addendums for existing layers 
without altering the primary feature source and share addendums with other 
users. This allows users to collaborate and eventually request that the primary 
feature be updated with their addendums. My research suggests this sort of 
thing is possible, it basically an implementation of the sharable markup 
concept, but please send any comments or criticism my way, I'd greatly 
appreciate it.

As an aside, using an RDBMS such as PostGIS, Oracle, or SQL Server 2008 to 
store geometry data as an alternate solution to editing SDF files directly is 
being considered.

I discovered one disturbing thing in my research in this mailing list that 
describes the possibility of crashing a repository in scenarios where multiple 
users create and edit SDF redlines:

http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Creating-mark-ups-redlining-using-anything-other-than-SDF-td4198550.html

This concern was posted in 2008, does this limitation for SDF still stand? If 
so, would the limitation the poster describes negatively impact my proposed 
function.

Sorry for the long post. If anyone has a comment or two about what I'm trying 
to do I'd help me out a lot.

Thanks

I think there was talk of turning tile cache sets into a new type of resource

cache that solves the problem of constantly clearing tile caches whenever 
changes to the map are made.

Re: [mapguide-users] Unhandled exceptions in IIS web tier

[Berg, James]

I struggle with events related to mapguide because I don't really understand 
them. Several times a day we get logs like 

"A process serving application pool 'MapGuide25AppPool' suffered a fatal 
communication error with the World Wide Web Publishing Service. The process id 
was '17544'. The data field contains the error number. "

with the source being W3SVC. W3svc.exe is the process related to the 
application pool in IIS that represents the website that holds mapguide.

It's tricky for me to figure out what the cause of the errors are. It could be 
a memory leak in my own application (fairly likely,) so I can't blame mapguide 
for it off the bat.

Basically, whenever my application pool fails, maps stop loading until I 
manually recycle the application pool. Without knowing the exact cause, the 
only workaround I've come up with is to configure my application pool to 
automatically recycle whenever it accumulates a certain amount of virtual 
memory. I've got it set to recycle at 800 megabytes, but I might decrease that 
number if problems persist. 

The hope is that frequent recycling will prevent errors.

It's also important to note that my application does not use InProc session 
handling in web.config. That's the default setting and application pool 
recycling would reset any sessions (very bad.)  Instead I use the StateServer 
setting. That way session aren't reset upon application pool resets.

[mapguide-users] mapviewernet web.config request validation setting

[Berg, James]

So, for whatever reason, my MapGuide installation of 2.5.2's 
mapviewernet/setselection.aspx was throwing "Request Validation has detected a 
potentially dangerous client input value" errors whenever I used the 
SetSelectionXml function in javascript. Not really sure why it was doing that 
since the page has validateRequest="false" in the page declaration.

Anyway, my solution was to add  to 
that folder's Web.Config file. Now the page doesn't throw validation errors.

Would it be a good idea to just include this tag in that Web.Config file by 
default in the installation? I probably was the one who caused the errors in 
the first place with my constant code hacking, but maybe using the config tag 
would make a harmless failsafe to make sure the pages don't get validated.

I implemented a workaround for this problem. Still not sure of the actual

In the ShowBaseGroup() function in ajaxmappane.templ add Refresh(); to the end 
of the function. This forces the map to refresh whenever base map group is 
activated. This will make redundant refreshes for base map groups that appear 
on map load and work properly, but the effects aren't noticeable to me.

Re: [mapguide-users] How to change the initial task pane URL programatically

[Berg, James]

I do that in my MapGuide Open Source application. Here's is how I do it.

In my weblayout I set the Initial Task Pane URL to a page (in this case it's 
called TaskPaneRedirect.aspx) that does some C# code that decides which task 
pane should be loaded and then immediately does a Response.Redirect("URL", 
false); to the correct task pane page.

All you would have to do is supply TaskPaneRedirect.aspx with the correct URL. 
I do that by setting a session variable after the user logs into the 
application. The session variable is set from a database table that contains 
user information included a preferred task pane.

Your situation may be different, but that's one way of doing it.

long, but I want to make sure this isn't happening for anyone else.

Whenever I open the print quick plot and then try to select multiple feature 
using shift + click I'm not able to select more features. Dragging to select 
features works fine.

Have you tried to change the WMS Version when  you consume your MapGuide WMS 
Version ?

Gaia and QGIS ask for version 1.3 systematically.

Maybe have you tried to ask to mapguide for an older version like 1.0 or other 
in your URL config in ArcGIs

Re: [mapguide-users] Possibility of reading MapGuide WMS service with ArcMAP

[Berg, James]

Thank you, Jackie and Remy for your responses.

I can confirm that my WMS works perfectly in Gaia, as well as other sensible 
applications like QGIS, so it seems to be functioning correctly.

As for the SLD. I’m not sure what’s supposed to make sense with this ArcGIS 
situation. Really I’m just trying to figure out why ArcGIS in particular is 
having such a difficult time. Gaia and QGIS effortlessly pick up whatever style 
I’ve configured in Maestro and display the image. ArcGIS, not so much. It reads 
the bounding box and zooms to the right place just fine, but no image. I 
figured that might mean it’s not detecting the styling properly.

Anyway, it’s kind of awkward asking the MapGuide users what’s wrong with 
ArcGIS, but ArcGIS forums have not been informative. If anyone can relate any 
similar experience that much will be helpful.

[mapguide-users] Possibility of reading MapGuide WMS service with ArcMAP

[Berg, James]

I'm trying to read a MapGuide WMS service with ArcMAP and its looks like I'm 
able to get the layer and read the correct bounding box. When I get properties 
for the layer in ArcMAP it doesn't have any styling properties. I'm figuring 
the a the culprit is the fact that mapguide does have support for Styled Layer 
Descriptors (SLD) which I think ArcMAP relies on to style the layer.

So my question is: is it impossible to show mapguide WMS layers in ArcMAP 
because mapguide doesn't support (SLD?)

[mapguide-users] Tiled basemap group from raster doesn't show

[Berg, James]

MGOS 2.4 32bit
Maestro 5.1
Windows Server 2003 R3

I have a tiled basemap group containing a single raster layer made from some 
aerial images in TIFF format. The group is not set to be displayed on map on 
map load, however, when the group is activated, the aerial isn't displayed. If 
I refresh the map or zoom to another scale, the layer will appear and respond 
to toggling the layer on and off like usual until I refresh the whole page 
again.

Has this happened to anybody before? Am I doing anything wrong with mgcooker? 
I'm creating my tiles with the official method with a meters pr. Unit value 
that I've calculated for the map.

Thanks if anyone can send a comment.

Re: [mapguide-users] Mapguide user rights based on area

[Berg, James]

That sounds like a pretty clear-cut way of solving it if we're sure you'll only 
ever need to manage two sets of permissions. It sounds tough to scale if new 
users with new permissions are added, but if the situation only requires the 
two users then it will be fast to implement and fulfill the requirement.

Re: [mapguide-users] Mapguide user rights based on area

[Berg, James]

For something like that you would have to create programming logic with the web 
server API.

If I was the one who needed to implement what you described I would start by 
creating a database of some kind to store user account information along with 
some parameters for permissions (access to specific layers, etc).

Then in the programming code I would check the user's permissions after 
authentication and make runtime changes to the map before the map loads. Most 
of the changes would be hiding layers from the legend so the user couldn't 
enable them.

As for restricting whole areas, the only thing I would think to do is to 
maintain multiple map definitions/layout definitions for different levels of 
permission and switch to a different at runtime before the map page loads. In 
theory that's how I imagine it.

Like I said, I haven't actually needed to enforce permissions like that so I 
don't know how well the strategy will work. As far as I know these strategies 
could turn out slow or hacky for whatever reason.

Re: [mapguide-users] Step by Step Mrsid Gdal support implementation for packaged MGOS 2.5.1

[Berg, James]

Like you've probably noticed, it's tricky to know exactly one dlls are right 
for your MapGuide. I can tell your link to gisinternals is on the right track. 
Based on the file name you've got the bitness correct (x64.) The other factor 
is the 1-9-0, which refers to the FDO version that MapGuide 2.5.1 uses. I use 
MGOS 2.4, which also uses 1-9-0 so I'm guessing you could be spot on about that 
link.

When installing support for mrsid on my mapguide server, I took down notes on 
all of the info that helped me do it right. Many of the steps were for 
installing support for ECW. I found the steps were similar enough to follow for 
mrsid. Notice that I use 32 bit MGOS so the links I direct to won't be right 
for you. Use the ones you found instead:

This web page describes how to install the plugin on MGOS 2.2. Do not use the 
dlls listed here; they are out of date. It provides a list of where the plugins 
should go which is useful.
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MGOS22GdalProvider
This web page is from the MapGuide Users mailing list. It describes how to 
install the ECW plugin for GDAL. It shows where to find the plugins and where 
they should go. The dlls needed for ECW are identical to Mr Sid so the steps 
apply.
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Step-by-Step-for-ECW-and-MGOS-2-4-td4995445.html#a4995528
The dll files can be downloaded here as indicated in the web page above. These 
are the right files assuming Infraseek is still on a 32bit OS and MGOS still 
uses GDAL ver 1.9.

Re: [mapguide-users] Opening a window using an invoke url custom command with the toolbar

[Berg, James]

Okay, looks like I solved my own problem again. I suppose I'll post the 
solution.

In mainframe.templ under the function OpenUrlFromForm() I modified the line:

else if(cmd.targetType == 2)
{
targetName = "newFrame" + (newWindowIndex ++);
window.open("", targetName, 
"toolbar=no,status=no,width=500,height=500,resizable,scrollbars");
}

to read:

else if(cmd.targetType == 2)
{
targetName = "newFrame" + (newWindowIndex ++);
window.open("", targetName, 
"toolbar=no,menubar=yes,status=no,width=500,height=500,resizable,scrollbars");
}

The only new inclusion is the menubar=yes, in the window.open() call. This 
would apply to every window launched this way, though, I can't say I figured 
out how to make individual custom commands launch with different window 
properties.

Re: [mapguide-users] How to set layer's order for WMS in Mapguide Maestro?

[Berg, James]

Are you talking about making a single layer resource whose feature class 
comprises of more than one image available from the WMS?

If so, then by default a single image provided by the WMS is made into a single 
feature class which can be turned into a single layer. In this case you could 
have multiple layers with individual images and order them in the map 
definition like normal.

However, it's possible to use multiple images from the WMS in a single feature 
class which can be made into a larger layer composed of many image. As far as I 
know, the only way of doing this is by manually editing the config.xml that is 
created for your WMS feature source. This process is described here in the 
"Multiple WMS Layers in a Single MapGuide Layer" section of this document: 
http://trac.osgeo.org/fdo/wiki/FdoWmsNotes

My guess is that the order you list the layers in the config document  will 
determine the draw order for those images.

Re: [mapguide-users] Selection of Layers Not Visible (Suggestions)

[Berg, James]

There's no setting like that so if want a layer selected you'll need it turned 
on.

You can, however, make it appear like  de-activated layers are being selected.

First, you need an invisible version of the layer that is selectable. Hide the 
layer from the legend also.

Second, create visible layer that is not selectable.

Add these both to the map and the user will view the second layer they can 
switch on and off, but is always selecting the first invisible one that's 
always turned on.

I’m not a developer (so someone correct me if I’m wrong,) but since the image 
format setting is in serverconfig.ini that tells me the setting is 
install-wide. Being able to choose a new format for individual tile-cache jobs 
would be really nice, but I don’t think there’s a way to override the 
serverconfig.ini setting at the moment.

Your idea of re-using the tiles with a specific perimeter is interesting, but 
I’ve never tried anything like that. There are several posts here about 
overriding bounds, but restricting to an irregular shape sounds difficult.

Also, make sure you are calculating meters-per-unit and using the official 
method before running mg-cooker if you’re not already. It will dramatically cut 
down processing time.

Thanks James,

For tile cache path, i saw that but when you produce datas every day for 
different project in the goal to copy to another server, we must always change 
the file path for isolate the datas.

“MapGuide administrator” is using by the Gis Administrator not by Gis Data 
Manager.

And gis Data Manager don’t have access to the “MapGuide administrator” and of 
course on the serverconfig.ini, only Maestro and mgcooker.

So like we speak about improvement, it will be great if we could change this 
parameters directly in mgcooker.

For the third one, Imagine you have a big territory on a server (200km x 200km) 
but on another local server you want just use a part of this territory with a 
specific complex perimeter. It’s difficult to get only tiles you need.

So you will generate again the tiles cache and it's again a long calculation of 
few days, sometimes we don't have the time to wait and no enough money to buy a 
server monster... so it's a problem for us

If we have a Shape of the Grid tiles, when we have a lot of tile it’s very easy 
to select tiles with a selection spatial query on it with autodesk Map (look 
below) , make selection List report to build easy a batch to 
extract/copy/delete only tiles you need without generation calculation.

Re: [mapguide-users] Strange problem with new server

[Berg, James]

If you can get into the administrator you could try adding another publisher 
account and use that. You can also try changing the password for the 
Administrator account which is something you'll be doing for security reasons 
anyway.

Re: [mapguide-users] Problem getting started with 2.5

[Berg, James]

It looks like the applications in IIS normally created during the mapguide 
installation have retained the original paths to the (x86) program files folder 
for some reason (or something like that). I wonder if you viewed the 
dotnetviewersample application in IIS manager if the local path is still set to 
the (x86) folder. If that's true the same might apply to the other applications 
configured by mapguide.

Normally when I toy around with uninstalling and installing mapguide the 
applications get removed from IIS on the uninstall and get properly restored on 
the next install. I always do this with 32 bit mapguide in both cases, though. 
I wouldn't be surprised if you change the install folder some things get 
screwed up.

Re: [mapguide-users] Problem getting started with 2.5

[Berg, James]

I'm planning to upgrade to 2.5 pretty soon myself so I'm interested in what to 
expect.

There are multiple config files involved in a MapGuide install. Can you post 
the original message for a clue on what file it was exactly?

Re: [mapguide-users] Custom Selection Filter in MapGuide

[Berg, James]

I can't say I've tried making a filter expression as complex as what you're 
describing so I can't say exactly how to do it, but there's a section in the 
MapGuide Developer's Guide about filtering feature queries. It even has an 
example for filtering based on a range of dates.

Hopefully that gets you on the right track. Also, I'm kind of assuming you're 
using the AJAX viewer. Not too sure if the process is different for FUSION.

Re: [mapguide-users] Get coords from Database with PHP then zoom to location in iFrame

[Berg, James]

I was about to write an explanation about how the ZoomToView function worked in 
the AJAX viewer, but then I noticed you're using FUSION. I'm not very familiar 
with FUSION, but I get the feeling that ZoomToView might just be an AJAX map 
function. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Re: [mapguide-users] IMPORTANT - MapGuide RFC 136 is ready for review

[Berg, James]

Thank you for the hotfix, Jackie. As a minor heads-up to those using these you 
might need to clear your application pool before overwriting the files 
otherwise the OS will demand that you close programs using the files.

I'm no expert on mapguide, but as someone who develops with mapguide I never 
saw the need to update SQL tables through the mapagent. My environment, 
asp.net, has plenty of tools for doing that.

Re: [mapguide-users] Tiling possibilities

[Berg, James]

The number of tiles generated by MGCooker with default settings can be extreme. 
Before running the cooker check the "Use Official Method" and fill out the 
"Meters pr. unit" text box. Follow these instructions to use the mpu calculator 
included: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/CodeSamples/PHP/MPUCalculator 

Configuring mgCooker this way can turn a 35 hour tile job into a 5 hour job. 
Also, I there's a ticket to improve mgCooker overall and reduce the blank 
tiles. http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/ticket/1999

Re: [mapguide-users] Zoom to selection doesn't work after opening quick plot window.

[Berg, James]

Alright, so here's how I reproduce the javascript error:

Copy the attached files to \MapGuide\Web\www\dotnetviewersample\overview 
(backup the original overviewmain.aspx if needed)

Open mapguide/dotnetviewersample/ajaxviewersample.aspx in a web browser and 
click the Zoom hyperlink. Reset the view and open the quick plot. Close it and 
click the link again. The javascript error should occur.


overviewmain.aspx
Description: overviewmain.aspx

Re: [mapguide-users] Zoom to selection doesn't work after opening quick plot window.

[Berg, James]

I'd say that's exactly what I'm encountering.

I'll reproduce the problem in Sheboygan and post a more detailed code sample 
soon.

Thanks

Is is similar to this?

Either way, I'll need explicit steps for reproduction. I could not reproduce 
the problem based on what you just said

[mapguide-users] Zoom to selection doesn't work after opening quick plot window.

[Berg, James]

Windows Server 2003r2 32bit
MapGuide Open Source 2.4
AJAX Viewer
Maestro 5.0RC

Hello, all

My MapGuide application uses the main frame method ExecuteMapAction(10) to zoom 
to selections on the map. However, every time I use those functions after 
opening the quick plot window I get a javascript error "featIds.Items is null 
or not an object" and the zoom fails.  I run these functions from a popup 
window and my code looks like this:

  parent.SetSelectionXML(selectionXml);
  parent.ExecuteMapAction(10);

Creating the selection with the first line still works.

What do you think?

Thanks!
