Re: [mapguide-users] Fusion Framework UMN MapServer

2008-03-05 Thread Paul Spencer

Hi Tim,

it can be but there is currently no official open source version of  
fusion that works with mapserver.  We are currently in the process of  
moving fusion to osgeo servers at which time a community can grow  
around both mapguide and mapserver back-ends.


That being said, you can edit config.json in fusion to set the  
appropriate values for your mapserver install and set up a map in the  
application definition using MapServer as the type and give a MapFile  
path in the extension ... something like:


  MapSet xsi:type=MapSetType
MapGroup id=gmap xsi:type=MapType
  Map xsi:type=MapLayerType
TypeMapServer/Type
SingleTiletrue/SingleTile
Extension
MapFile/ms4w/apps/gmap/htdocs/gmap75.map/MapFile
/Extension
  /Map
/MapGroup
  /MapSet

and then change the MapWidget tag to point to the id of the map group  
(gmap in the above example) and it should all just work.  Note that  
mapserver support requires that you have php_mapscript and a valid  
session.save_path set up in php.ini


Also, the name of the php_mapscript module is hardcoded in fusion/ 
MapServer/php/Common.php so if you want something other than:


$szPHPMapScriptModule = 'php_mapscript.'.PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX;

you will need to manually change it there for now.

Cheers

Paul

Paul,

Thanks a ton. I'll give this a try. I'm really hoping to find a better 
alternative to Chameleon on MapServer.
