[mapguide-users] MGOS 2.1 tooltips in Fusion
Dear all I have just installed 2.1 on Windows/IIS and set up a quick Fusion application (LimeGold, out of the box) on a simple map containing one layer from a SHP file. The problem is that I'm not seeing any tooltips, and in Firebug there's evidently no request being fired. (Looking at one of my older apps I would've expected something like this: http://blah/mapagent.fcgi?&operation=QUERYMAPFEATURES&mapname=mymap&geometry=POLYGON...) The tooltips appear as expected when I use a frames-based layout. I guess this is something simple. Any ideas?

Re: [mapguide-users] Two performance questions
Heh. This thread is starting to digress. I'm interested in speeding up the seeding. Zac, thanks for your comments. I fully intend to take MapGuide out of the picture once the tiles have been generated. You started by saying "i have to stress the concept of testing out the concepts yourself" which you follow up with "too often i see people doing heaps of work based on the wrong assumptions". The reason I posted the original message was to avoid the wrong assumptions when I'm testing the concepts! If I discover that painting the server increases tiling speed by 50% I'll be sure to share it with you ;) Thanks again Stuart -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Two-performance-questions-tp2358277p2367856.html Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users

RE: [mapguide-users] Two performance questions
Thanks for all your thoughts. Removing unnecessary attributes from the SDFs is something we can definitely do. My set-up is MGE2009 on Windows under IIS6 and my questions are really about how best to configure MapGuide for this environment. I'm running through various tests but thought it best to canvas opinion amongst people on the list who've been through these things before. I've had a quick look at Kenneth's cooker but it doesn't seem to be working right. Need to find more time for this because if there's a clear winner between that and Zac's JS seeder I want to use the quickest, obviously.

[mapguide-users] Two performance questions
Dear all I've spent a while looking at the documentation, white papers, blogs and mailing lists in order to try and get a bit more performance out of our MGE2009 Windows installation using SDFs. We need to seed a tile cache with many tiles and the predicted execution times are very large. I have two questions: 1. Is there anything I can do to tweak ISAPI in the same way as is suggested for FastCGI? I suppose not because when I run Zac's seeder, Task Manager is showing all eight cores being utilised equally. 2. Is there any advantage in loading our SDFs into a repository? At the moment they're just external. This page... http://sandbox.mapguide.com/index.php/Managed_versus_Unmanaged_Resources http://sandbox.mapguide.com/index.php/Managed_versus_Unmanaged_Resources ...says "In general the performance of managed and unamanaged resources are the same", but Zac on his blog at... http://zacster.blogspot.com/2008/10/mapguide-performance-tips.html http://zacster.blogspot.com/2008/10/mapguide-performance-tips.html ...says "Always use Managed Resources, that is SDF's uploaded into the repository". And as a follow-on, how does the size of the SDFs affect performance when loaded and external? We're currently playing with some external ones of around 6GB (which work fine). Appreciate your thoughts on all this.

[mapguide-users] Create map in the session
Dear all
I want to be able to issue the following kind of query from a web
application:
http://.../mapguide2009/mapagent/mapagent.fcgi?GEOMETRY=POLYGON((3 2,4 2,4
3,3 3,3
2))&MAXFEATURES=1&OPERATION=QUERYMAPFEATURES&PERSIST=0&SELECTIONVARIANT=INTERSECTS&MAPNAME=...&SESSION=...&VERSION=1.0.0
For this to work I need a session ID and map name, so I'm trying to create a
map in the session on-the-fly, as follows:
Open(new MgUserInformation("Administrator", "admin"));
$sessionId = $site->CreateSession();
$siteConnection = new MgSiteConnection();
$siteConnection->Open(new MgUserInformation($sessionId));
$resourceService =
$siteConnection->CreateService(MgServiceType::ResourceService);
$mdResourceId = new
MgResourceIdentifier("Library://Maps/mapname.MapDefinition");
$mapName = $mdResourceId->GetName();
$map = new MgMap();
$map->Create($resourceService, $mdResourceId, $mapName);
echo "Name of map:" . $map->GetName() . "";
echo "Session ID of map:" . $map->GetSessionId() . "";
echo "Object ID: " . $map->GetObjectId() . "";
echo "Session ID: " . $sessionId . "";
$mapId = new MgResourceIdentifier("Session:$sessionId//$mapName." .
MgResourceType::Map);
$map->Save($resourceService, $mapId);
$layerCollection = $map->GetLayers();
for ($i = 0; $i < $layerCollection->GetCount(); $i++)
{
$layer = $layerCollection->GetItem($i);
echo " layer #" . ($i + 1) . ": " . $layer->GetName() .
"";
}
?>
Although this returns a list of layers as expected, the value returned by
$map->GetSessionId() is blank and I suspect this has something to with why,
having loaded this page, I get the following in the map agent when I submit
a GetResourceContent request on "Session:...//mapname.MapDefinition":
Resource was not found: Session:...//mapname.MapDefinition
What am I missing?
Thanks
Stuart

[mapguide-users] FeatureSet XML returned by QUERYMAPFEATURES for WFS layer
Dear all I've modified the PHP sample (Ajax viewer) to show an SDF layer and a WFS layer. If I drag-select in the SDF layer, objects are selected (highlighted) as you would expect, and the Properties pane is updated. But, if I drag-select in the WFS layer, nothing happens. The XML returned by the QUERYMAPFEATURES on the SDF layer: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="FeatureSet-1.0.0.xsd"> dwgAAA== SJ99 ... The XML returned by the QUERYMAPFEATURES on the WFS layer: http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="FeatureSet-1.0.0.xsd"> ... In other words, the element is empty for the WFS layer. Presumably this is what's preventing the object being highlighted and the Properties pane being updated. Can anyone explain why the XML structure is different?

Re: [mapguide-users] How to check if session is expired?
FYI I have implemented the following "keep alive" functionality in Fusion.
This JavaScript excerpt uses the PeriodicalExecuter() class from Prototype.
Place it in your "Fusion initialised" function. It will do a getScale()
every 20 minutes and it appears to keep the map live all day :)
//
// Periodically poll the MapGuide server to keep the session alive.
//
var map = Fusion.getMapById('Map');
new PeriodicalExecuter(
function(pe) {
console.log('Employing keep-alive measures [' + new
Date() + ']');
map.getScale();
},
1200 // period, in seconds
);
Hope this helps somebody...

[mapguide-users] Using GetFeatureInfo on MapGuide layers via WMS

GetFeatureInfo.
The thing is, it doesn't appear to work on point or line layers, only
polygon ones. Can anyone confirm that this doesn't work, or offer some
advice on how to make it work.
map.events.register('click', map, function (e) {
OpenLayers.Util.getElement('nodeList').innerHTML = "Loading...
please wait...";
var url = layerTube.getFullRequestString({
REQUEST: "GetFeatureInfo",
EXCEPTIONS: "application/vnd.ogc.se_xml",
BBOX: layerTube.map.getExtent().toBBOX(),
X: e.xy.x,
Y: e.xy.y,
INFO_FORMAT: 'text/html',
QUERY_LAYERS: layerTube.params.LAYERS,
WIDTH: layerTube.map.size.w,
HEIGHT: layerTube.map.size.h,
TOLERANCE: 50
});
OpenLayers.loadURL(url, '', this, setHTML);
OpenLayers.Event.stop(e);
});
I would appreciate any advice on this subject.
Thanks!

The dynamic layer is served via a separate request (GETDYNAMICMAPOVERLAYIMAGE) as a separate image - so in theory I should be able to have one tile cache used by all sessions.

[mapguide-users] PNG/PNG8 question regarding overlay transparency
Dear all A while back I saw a tip that suggested changing from PNG to PNG8, so I updated serverconfig.ini accordingly. That resulted in smaller file sizes for my tiles but they were being overlaid with one big white image, i.e. not a very useful map! So I changed the line in ajaxmappane.templ so that the call to GETDYNAMICMAPOVERLAYIMAGE uses PNG8 and now my overlay is working, but the transparency of the features contained within the overlay has been lost. Using "PNG" in both serverconfig.ini and ajaxmappane.templ: http://n2.nabble.com/file/n1381702/mg_png.png Using "PNG8" in both serverconfig.ini and ajaxmappane.templ: http://n2.nabble.com/file/n1381702/mg_png8.png What am I missing?

[mapguide-users] Zac's tile seeder with British National Grid
Dear all
I got Zac's tile seeder working with Sheboygan using both of the following:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/attachment/wiki/CodeSamples/Tiles/TileCacheSeeding/mapguide_tile_seeder.html
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/attachment/wiki/CodeSamples/Tiles/TileCacheSeeding/mapguide_tile_seeder.html
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/attachment/wiki/CodeSamples/JavaScript/OpenlayersExample/sheboygan.php
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/attachment/wiki/CodeSamples/JavaScript/OpenlayersExample/sheboygan.php
But I can't convert either to work with my tiled map using British National
Grid coordinates.
I've changed my Bounds like this:
var extent = new OpenLayers.Bounds(302000,37,375000,41);
I've tweaked the mapOptions thus:
var mapOptions = {
...
units: 'm',
projection: 'EPSG:27700',
...
};
And I added these lines (as stated
http://zacster.blogspot.com/2008/08/tiny-little-openlayers-mapguide-fusion.html
in Zac's blog ):
var metersPerUnit = 111319.4908; //value returned from mapguide
var inPerUnit = OpenLayers.INCHES_PER_UNIT.m * metersPerUnit;
OpenLayers.INCHES_PER_UNIT["dd"] = inPerUnit;
OpenLayers.INCHES_PER_UNIT["degrees"] = inPerUnit;
I'm suspicious about the hard-coded tempScales values. As I have no previous
experience with OpenLayers, perhaps there's something obvious I've not done.
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks
Stuart

We have MapGuide serving maps using data held in Oracle spatial tables. So for example we have one table holding all the roads for the UK. What we want to do is create a set of tiles at various zoom levels for this data so that we can cease to hold the information in Oracle. At the moment MapGuide is reading the spatial data from Oracle, generating an image, and streaming it to the browser. What we want to end up with is MapGuide simply serving up static tiles.

I am facing the same problems. MapGuide Open Source running on Windows Server 2003 and IIS6, using King.Oracle to connect to an Oracle 10g database.

Re: [mapguide-users] Watermarking a Map
>> Here is Fridays problem - Watermarking a map. Not in Fusion, just on a
>> basic layout.
>
Here's what I came up with (for the Ajax viewer). The expected parameters to
this JavaScript method are:
doc: The document object, such as that returned by
"frames['mapFrame'].document"
imageUrl: The path to the watermark tile, e.g. "/images/watermark.gif"
So this method will insert a DIV that covers the entire map with the tiled
image. My image is transparent except for the required watermark string. In
the code I set the opacity, but this is probably not necessary if you get
your image looking the way you want it to beforehand. There are two
important things to note:
1. I'm using this in a WebLayout with no left or right pane, and the middle
pane comprises the status bar and zoom control only (plus the map of
course). In this configuration the map frame is resizeable despite no left
pane being present, which is undesirable. Fortunately, the watermarking
method below covers this up and prevents manual resizing.
2. The z-index of the inserted DIV must be configured to be less than that
of the zoom control ("scale slider") so that it appears underneath, but
still above the map image.
ShowInAjaxViewer: function(doc, imageUrl) {
if (!doc) return;
if (!imageUrl) return;
//
// Create a DIV to hold the watermark.
//
var watermark = doc.createElement('div');
//
// Assign the passed-in background image URL.
//
watermark.style.backgroundImage = 'url(' + imageUrl + ')';
//
// This value is very important. It must be less than the
lowest z-index
// value used by the scale slider (which happens to be 4 at the
time of
// writing.
//
watermark.style.zIndex = '3';
//
// The rest of the styles.
//
watermark.style.position = 'absolute';
watermark.style.width = '100%';
watermark.style.height = '100%';
watermark.style.opacity = 0.5;
watermark.style.filter = 'alpha(opacity=50)';
doc.body.insertBefore(watermark, doc.body.firstChild);
}
Hope this helps somebody.
Cheers
Stuart

Re: [mapguide-users] Extending the functionality of built-in commands (Ajax viewer)
Kenneth, you are a star.
I tweaked your code as follows to prove the visibility toggling:
$map = new MgMap();
$map->Open($resourceService, $mapName);
$map->GetLayers()->GetItem(0)->SetVisible(true);
$resId = new MgResourceIdentifier("Session:$sessionID//$mapName.Map");
$resId->Validate();
$map->Save($resourceService, $resId);
Ultimately I needed to change the feature class of a layer. To achieve this
I read in the LayerDefinition from the Library repository, edit the
FeatureName XML element in the desired manner, then write the modified
LayerDefinition to the Session repository, which I use in a
SetLayerDefinition() call on the relevant layer in the runtime map. And it
works a treat!
Thanks
Stuart

Re: [mapguide-users] Extending the functionality of built-in commands (Ajax viewer)
[This question is off the back of
http://n2.nabble.com/RE%3A-Bypassing-initial-view-at-startup-td790257.html
this thread .]
I have successfully intercepted the call to mapagent.fcgi with a call to my
own PHP page (let's call it "bespoke.php"). I build a querystring of all the
POST or GET parameters and simply redirect at the end of bespoke.php like
so:
$url = "mapagent.fcgi?" . $querystring;
header("Location: $url");
exit();
That works nicely.
Ultimately, before redirection occurs, I want to alter the feature class of
one of the layers, but for now I'm just trying to toggle the visibility of
one (via the MapDefinition) to prove the point. I simply read in the map
definition as XML, tweak it, then write it back:
$siteConnection = new MgSiteConnection();
$siteConnection->Open(new MgUserInformation($sessionId));
$resourceService =
$siteConnection->CreateService(MgServiceType::ResourceService);
// Use MapDefinition from the Session
$mdResourceId = new
MgResourceIdentifier("Session:$sessionId//$mapName.MapDefinition");
$mdReader = $resourceService->GetResourceContent($mdResourceId);
$mdXml = $mdReader->ToString();
$mdDomDoc = DOMDocument::loadXML($mdXml);
$node = $mdDomDoc->getElementsByTagName("Visible")->item(1);
$node->nodeValue = "false";
$mdUpdatedXml = $mdDomDoc->saveXML();
$mdByteSource = new MgByteSource($mdUpdatedXml, strlen($mdUpdatedXml));
// Overwrite
$resourceService->SetResource($mdResourceId, $mdByteSource->GetReader(),
null);
Although I can confirm that the MapDefinition in the Session is changing as
expected (by interrogating http://.../mapguide/mapagent/index.html), the
map's appearance does not change as expected when it redraws.
Any ideas why not?
Thanks

[mapguide-users] Extending the functionality of built-in commands (Ajax viewer)
This is my challenge: as the user pans the map (using the Ajax viewer) I need to update the feature class of one of the layers. (Based upon the coordinates I can work out which database table the feature class must be changed to.) My current idea is to put a synchronous call to a bespoke PHP during the relevant JavaScript functions (such as Pan()) which will alter the runtime map. When control returns to the JavaScript, RequestMap() will ultimately be called and thus display my altered map. But to me this seems a bit nasty. Any comments or suggestions?

Re: [mapguide-users] Adjusting subsequent views
OK, I understand that I can grab the runtime map and use the API to alter it. The question is, where do I put the code to do this? For the Ajax viewer I've traced the code to JavaScript in ajaxmappane.templ, where functions like Pan() end up calling RequestMap(). But RequestMap() posts to mapagent.fcgi - in other words an impasse. My current idea is to put a synchronous call to a bespoke PHP during the relevant JavaScript functions (such as Pan()) which will alter the runtime map. When control returns to the JavaScript, RequestMap() will ultimately be called and thus display my altered map.

Re: [mapguide-users] Adjusting subsequent views
I don't mind at all; thanks for doing it. Just as an addendum to this discussion about adjusting map configuration dynamically, my next challenge is to update the feature class of a layer based upon the current map centre point. In other words, as the user drags the map around, at certain positions the underlying database table for one of my layers needs to change. Back towards the start of this thread, one of the suggestions for adjusting the intial map view was: "2. modify the ajaxviewer" Is this my only option to set a layer's feature class dynamically? My current thinking is to override specific tools (such as pan) to call a custom PHP which ultimately redirects to the Ajax Viewer.

Re: [mapguide-users] Bypassing initial view at startup - and adding a layer
Having solved the first issue of altering the web layout, I now need a polygon to appear in the initial view. I have working code to create a polygon based on a passed-in WKT string but again am struggling conceptually with how to integrate this into the initial view code. At the moment this is what I'm doing: 1. Load the Map Definition from the Library as XML then save it to the Session. 2. Load the Web Layout from the Library as XML, change the x, y, scale and values (the latter to point to my Session Map Definition), then save it to the Session. 3. Create a new map using the Session Map Definition and invoke my polygon-creation code. 4. Save the map to the Session. 5. Direct the Ajax Viewer to the Session Web Layout. The code runs and the map opens but the polygon isn't there. From reading various threads I think what's happening is that the runtime map I'm creating is simply being discarded (despite saving it to the session). I'd appreciate any advice on this.

RE: [mapguide-users] Bypassing initial view at startup
This is an old thread but very important for me right now. I want to set the initial view (coords and scale) of a map and have been struggling conceptually with how to implement this. I have a page containing an iframe. The iframe's src attribute is the path to a MapGuide web layout, e.g. /mapguide/mapviewerajax/?WEBLAYOUT=Library://Trial/Trial.WebLayout&LOCALE=en Originally I thought that I would need to interrupt the initial map load to dabble with the web layout's XML, but http://tinyurl.com/6jkdyj talks about creating a copy of the web layout, making the desired changes, and saving it to the session, and using the copy. So would the following be the right way to go? 1. Change the main page's iframe to have no src attribute specified 2. On page load, call a PHP script to create a web layout in the session based upon the one in the library 3. Dynamically set the iframe's src to be something like "...?WEBLAYOUT=Session://..." I hope one of you seasoned MapGuide developers can put me straight on this! Thanks for your time.

To answer my own question, you need to use the SchemaReport feature of the
MapAgent, available at:
http://{server}/{mapguide2009}/schemareport/main.php
Into the "Resource ID" textbox type the following:
Session:{Session ID}//{New layer name}.FeatureSource
Click "Find". On the next screen, click "View Feature" to see if your
polygon (or whatever) exists.
In my case, I discovered that the polygon wasn't being created despite
receiving no error messages. It turns out that [using the DRAW_LINES.PHP
from the MapGuide samples] the string "Lines" in the following code excerpt
must be consistent.
...
$map = new MgMap();
$map->Open($resourceService, $mapName);
$layerName = "Lines";
...
$classDefinition = new MgClassDefinition();
$classDefinition->SetName("Lines");
...
$featureName = "SHP_Schema:Lines";
$geometry = "SHPGEOM";
$layerDefinition = $factory->CreateLayerDefinition(...);
...
Hope this helps somebody someday...

[mapguide-users] Fusion custom widget: how to proceed
Dear all I'm new to MapGuide and Fusion. We have an Enterprise 2009 (Windows, IIS) set-up here and I've successfully created a simple page showing a map and toolbar. I now want to create a custom widget that allows the user to define a polygon which is then converted to a redline object on the map. The Developer's Guide is fairly helpful, stating the three main steps involved in redlining: 1. Pass the digitized coordinates from the client to the server. 2. Create a temporary feature source. This will be used to draw the lines on. 3. Create a layer to display that temporary feature source. But I'm stuck at 1. I took a copy of SelectPolygon.js, renamed it to DrawPolygon.js, and found out where to grab the drawn vertices, but I'm not sure how best to fire this at a PHP file. I'd appreciate any comments on the best way to do this, and any pointers to examples. Many thanks Stuart -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Fusion-custom-widget%3A-how-to-proceed-tp18614320p18614320.html Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
Re: [mapguide-users] MapGuide studio expired
Thanks Zac. Just to be clear, is it only the "Repositories" folder (and all its contents) I need to copy? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/MapGuide-studio-expired-tp17078652p17100193.html Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
Re: [mapguide-users] MapGuide studio expired
Hijacking the thread a little bit: I was using the evaluation version of MapGuide Studio and Enterprise. They've both now expired and I'm looking for advice on how to migrate the work I've done to the open source MapGuide server. I'd appreciate a few tips!

Re: [mapguide-users] Newbie: Tutorial on setting up the server
I guess I'll give Autodesk MapGuide Studio a try then. Is the configuration too hairy to do manually though? I'd still like to see it described in a step-by-step guide. What did people do before MapGuide Studio came along?! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Newbie%3A-Tutorial-on-setting-up-the-server-tf4734877s16610.html#a13547596 Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ mapguide-users mailing list mapguide-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
[mapguide-users] Newbie: Tutorial on setting up the server
Hi all Downloaded and configured everything from http://mapguide.osgeo.org/ to get the ASP.NET sample up and running. Got my spatial tables in my Oracle database all set to go. Downloaded King Oracle and am now at the point where I need to create a connection from the MapGuide server to the Oracle database. Can I find any simple steps to follow? Nope. I've been around http://mapguide.osgeo.org/ a number of times but can't find anything to assist me. I'm not entirely sure I understand the concepts anyway. There's talk on these here forums of the AutoDesk product to be used for configuring. Could someone give me a bit of background, or perhaps point me somewhere? Everyone using MapGuide must've been through this before. Thanks in advance. I'm excited by MapGuide and can't wait to start using it in earnest.
