[mapserver-users] MSCompanion version 1.0 Release Candidate 1 is Available
Hi, After several days of test with cooperation from some kind friends, the release candidate 1 of version 1.0 is available now, changes happened since the beta2 include: 1. Bug Fixed: Class legend can not show in layers tree and Style preview does not work on some version of Windows. 2. Bug Fixed: Error caused by RichEdit? on MSCompanion start. 3. Optimized the procedure of path search on start up, add a status text box to show the search progress. Because these changes are very important to help you avoiding critical problems when you use MSCompanion, so this RC1 comes out a little earlier than planning. Please visit http://code.google.com/p/mscompanion/ to get it as usual. In addtion I will continue debugging the latest version, the main work will be documenting the user manual for MSCompanion before the offical V1.0 release. I wish you report bug you meet when you use this version to mscompan...@googlegroups.com or enri.z...@gmail.com, so that I can present you a better result.

[mapserver-users] FW: ogr/mysql layer imagemap template using php mapscript?
I still have yet to receive any feedback on this question. This is probably the 4th-5th time I've asked. Is my message being completely ignored? Please help... -Original Message- From: P.Romero [mailto:romero...@hotmail.com] Sent: 2009-04-13 10:58 PM To: 'mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org' Subject: ogr/mysql layer imagemap template using php mapscript? Ive asked this question several times already, but have never received a useful response. If there are any php-mapscript experts reading this, please help... Im trying to create an imagemap based on an html template and a points layer, which uses an ogr/mysql connection to query a database table and retrieve a set of points. It's based on a combination of the following two examples: http://mapserver.org/input/vector/mysql.html?highlight=ovf http://mapserver.org/output/imagemaps.html?highlight=imagemap As described in the 2nd example, I can access successfully access my imagemap html png output using a url like the following: http://myurl/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=myfile.mapmode=nquerysearchmap=true The problem is that I want to use php-mapscript, instead of using the cgi-bin url. The main reasons for this are to be able to post-process the raw imagemap html code control how when the html and the png image are sent back to the user's browser. I tried doing this: //Read draw the map file $map = ms_newMapObj(myMapFile.map); $img=$map-draw(); //pass the resulting map png's url back //to the html template through $tmparray variable $tmparray[img_url] = $img-saveWebImage(); //Process the query template $html=$map-processquerytemplate($tmparray); //Now, echo or process the raw html as necessary echo $html; This almost seemed to work. The 'processquerytemplate()' function *did* return the imagemap html, but the actual data points from my layer were absent in the html; i.e., there were no 'area' tags in the imagemap code, so the imagemap was empty. However, my layer WAS correctly executing the mysql/ogr data query drawing my points, as the points WERE visible in the png output. So the basic question is: How do I go about correctly processing the template using php-mapscript, so that the data from my points layer will be included in the imagemap html? I hope this is the info you'll need to help figure this out. Please let me know if you have questions, or if I need to include more details. Thanks again, P.Romero ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
Re: [mapserver-users] SV: Use of a Colortable
Hi I have a MapServer connected to a MySQL server via PHP/MapScript based on the example in Bill Kropla’s book ‘Beginning MapServer Open Source GIS Develpment’, chapter 9. My data is therefore stored on the MySQL server and displayed as points in MapServer based on the queries I give it. I really like the method Espen suggested as I wouldn't have to change my database. However, I can't get the EXPRESSION to work like Espen suggested. I think it might be because I use MySQL and not postgis but I don't know? Do any of you know what I can do to run an EXPRESSION against a value read from MySQL? Thanks for any suggestion.

RE:[mapserver-users] Mapfile Editor - MSCompanion version 1.0 beta2is available
Nelson Correia, Thank you very much for your information, I will try my best to get rid of the bugs you mentioned, and resolve the rest problems in the coming version by enhancement. And, some words to explain some problems item by item: Regarding the preview problem, the preview is now shown on the layer tree, but it still doesn't appear on the Style Properties dialog. I hit the preview button, but nothing happens. about preview problem, it is caused by the invalid path of layer data, if MSCompanion can not figure out where the data is, this problem could happen. You are encouraged to use the dialogs to set the paths of layers specifics, and save the result, problems should disapear next time you open the saved file. I am tracking some bug, problems and features I find useful and here are them: - I always have to change the map properties to use absolute paths and then to use relative paths again, in order to use MSCompanion. This is a little bit annoying, since I have to do this every time I start MSCompanion. I suggest you use absolute paths and save it, next time you may need not do that again. But I will try to repeat the problem and find a resolution. - When I edit a layer/class and cancel my edition, why do it redraw the map? I have several large shapefiles and it is stressfull when I cancel my changes and still have to wait a few seconds to continue working. Yes, that's a problem now, I will fix it. - The mouse scroll doesn't work pretty well on the MapFile text editor. Yes, it's true. Frankly I don't find a way to satisfy myself by now, as a compensation, you can use the scroll bar by the time. - The update button on the text editor became desabled when I click it and then cancel the update. I will test it. - The layers tree is not updated when I add a class/layer through the text editor. Yes, when you update the mapfile by text editor, you must reopen the file to view the changes on map. - I think it should be a way of updating the information from the mapfile, for exemple to allow us to edit it with an external editor and see the changes in MSCompanion without restarting it. Good suggestion, but in my mind it is a little difficult by now, I will consider that in the future versions. - The styles in MSCompanion allow us to define a min and max scale for them, but I didn't find any support for it in the MapServer documentation and it doesn't seem to work. Is it a bug? I got this from http://www.mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-45.html?highlight=rfc, but I don't know if it is implemented. - I think that would be very useful the ability to do pan on the map. Currently it is a little bit difficult to change the view port mantaining the scale. You are correct, I will do that. Thanks again. Best regards, Enri _ I hope this is useful for you.

So far I've encountered one problem (relative to the version I was using): it doesn't show the preview of the class styles on the left menu. It now shows the same arrow that the one that indicates the selected item of the menu. I think that the preview of the style is very usefull, specially when you have lots of layers, each one with several classes.
