Re: [mapserver-users] Need example of using a tabular select to retieve metadata for a label

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Steve,

Fuuny,  I already figured out that I (or mapserver) needs a spatial element as 
a return.  I thought about the Extent idea as well, and have been working on 
using a dummy point in a dummy table to get around it, but maybe the extent 
piece is the way to go, and it would be a good addition to the metadata anyway. 
 I can just add the City Bounds enmasse to begin with, and adjust as needed 
down the line.

I’m trying to use a tabular (no spatial field) SQL metadata call to populate a 
disclaimer notice in a image output.

Anyone tried this and have an example handy?

Thanks

Re: [mapserver-users] New mappyfile release (with CLI)

[Seth G]

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the feedback. Debian packaging has been created (for
mappyfile 0.7.2):
https://github.com/geographika/mappyfile/issues/59

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-experimental sudo apt-
get update sudo apt-get install python-mappyfile sudo apt-get install
python3-mappyfileWith regards to the modulo operator - I wasn't aware it was 
possible! It
isn't documented at https://mapserver.org/mapfile/expressions.html and
doesn't appear in any of the msautotest Mapfiles.It is easy enough to add it to 
the Mapfile grammar, so will be in the
next release.
Thanks Tom for the kind words on the project.

Seth

Re: [mapserver-users] New mappyfile release (with CLI)

[Richard Greenwood]

Based on Tom's comments I figured that I'd better try out mappyfile. I ran
into a couple issues.
Installing on Ubuntu 18.04 required python-setuptools (sudo apt-get install
python-setuptools)
mappyfile validated failed on the '%' modulo operator in an expression:
EXPRESSION ( ([height] % 50) = 0 )
