Re: [mapserver-users] query creation issues
Hi Mark: Personally I'd steer you to the simplified query templates as described here: http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-36.html This allows you to put everything in one place and better separates data from presentation. No more header/footer's. Plus you can have multiple presentations for the same layer. That said, the mapfile below doesn't have any queryable layers. There is no TEMPLATE defined for the one layer that is present. If you want to use the new style templating you'd do something like this: 1- Define an output format: OUTPUTFORMAT NAME 'my-template' DRIVER 'TEMPLATE' MIMETYPE 'text/html; subtype=compass' FORMATOPTION "FILE=templates/my-template.html" END 2- Optionally make it the default query format (otherwise you need to use qformat CGI parameter): WEB QUERYFORMAT 'my-template' ... END 3- Make layers queryable by adding something like: TEMPLATE 'void' 4- Write your template, for example my-template.html might look like: --- snip --- This is my template: [resultset layer="mjrroads"] [feature]Type: [TYPE][/feature] [/resultset] Done presenting layers. --- snip --- Steve From: mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org [mailto:mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org] On Behalf Of Mark Mirrlees Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 10:45 AM To: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org Subject: [mapserver-users] query creation issues Hello everyone, I'm trying to create a query so I can query the roads/expressways from the map.

Re: [mapserver-users] query creation issues
Does anyone have any updates on how to fix this? As I mentioned before I managed to get the ID field populated whenever I query the map but I need to get the same thing for the name of the road and the type of road... If there is anything else that you require please let me know as this is causing a great deal of confusion why it won't work!
