[Cartoweb-users] Re: few queries

Hi

the labels are temporary features that are only stored in session (or not at all, depending of the parameters in config)
it is used to draw on the map and then generate a pdf, mainly.
if you want to add real new objects that would be stored in database, you need to use the "edit" plugin, which is fairly more complex.

the .class (I only see a few of them anyway) are only used if you use httpunit test application. This is a general purpose application that can be used with any php application, to create unit test that are checked automaticaly, to prevent that modification of code break existing functionnalities. Only useful if you intend to involve yourself with Cartoweb development.

all data source are handled via the mapfile, there you define for each layer the data source. These can be shapefile, postgis database or wms server (and other less used).
see maprserver mapfile documentation: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/layer

regards
Oliver

  Subject: few queries



  Hello
            there are few things which i need to ask you :-
            a)  there are few functionalities in cartoweb like point label,line label 
                 etc. displayed in the top toolbar above the main map.I wanted to 
                 know if we create a new label suppose point label, then whether 
                 this new information will be stored in some file if yes then where
                the new information gets stored?
         b)  where are these .class files being ued in cartoweb what they reflect?
               what is their use actually?
          c) if we load our own data to cartoweb then in which files the changes 
              have to be done?so that the changes reflect finally.

      hope to hear from you soon.

   Regards
   Natasha
