[Cartoweb-users] Hi How can i have a label inside a polygon.

Hi
That's actually a Mapserver question. You have to put a LABEL object in your 
layer (within a CLASS) and a LABELITEM. Look at the corresponding part of 
Mapserver documentation.
Probably something like that should work :


   LAYER
     NAME "chittoor"
     TYPE POLYGON
     DATA "DIST_Chittoor_Ver0_011205"
     TEMPLATE "ttt"
     METADATA
       "exported_values" "recenter_name_string,id_attribute_string"
       "recenter_name_string" "NAM"
       "id_attribute_string" "OGC_FID|string"
       "query_returned_attributes" "NAM"
     END
     LABELITEM "NAM"

     CLASS
       STYLE
         COLOR 80 160 74
         OUTLINECOLOR 86 86 74
       END
       LABEL
         TYPE TRUETYPE
         FONT "Vera"
         SIZE 10
         COLOR 0 0 0
         OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
         POSITION cc
       END
     END
   END
