Hi Folks!! I've be tasked with creating a demo to show the powers that be how we can use GIS to present and analyze that data they collect.... I made the decision the go fully open source... I am really new to the OpenGIS world and having fun and learned a lot in a real short time.... Now I a bit stuck.... and hopefully my questions are easy enough for someone in this forum can answer....
A little background... I have 3 shape files of a land mass 1. a base shape file that is just an outline of the area with no attributes 2. a shape file that shows the land mass as a set of parcels with attribute data 3. a shape file that further divides the parcels (2nd shape file) into smaller pieces or lots Using postgres/postGIS, groserver and openlayer, I have been successful in displaying the 3 shape files in my web browser... One overlaying of the other (base layer -> parcels layer -> lots layer) I was able use the getfeatureinfo to show attribute data in a pop box The problem I'm having is: when I click on the map, I get "info" for the base layer (which is blank of course) and the other layer(s) if they are checked.... So my question: is there a way to make it so that when I click on the map, only info the top most layer appears in the popup box? Also, if you click on the base layer (the other layers are un-checked) the popup box does not show up My other issue: I have data that was collected on various things about the parcels and lots... This data is stored in tables in the database.... The only links these tables/data have with the shape files are the name and id variables.... Question: Is there a way to include info from the tables in the pop display along with the getfeatureinfo information when I click on the map?
