[Cartoweb-users] Edit layer

[Albert Casanovas]

Hi Giovanni,

Let me see if I understood right, you need to use the demoEdit but instead of using a postGis connection you want to modify a shape file, to do that I can see two solutions:

1. Export the shapefile to the postGis database to use it with the demoEdit

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapscript/index_html#shapefileobj

2. Modify the plugin of the demoEdit to allow the edition of the shapefile instead of using the database, for that you would need to use the php mapscript reference. I am not really sure how can this be done

http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapscript/index_html#shapefileobj

By another hand, if you need to modify any part of the mapfile in execution time, you can use the mapOverlay plugin of cartoweb:

http://www.cartoweb.org/doc/cw3.2/xhtml/dev.mapoverlay.html

People from the forum, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about this.


Regards,
Albert

  Hi Giovanni,

   

  We have implemented a solution for what you are trying to do. When you select the layer it displays the information and then you can click a button to add aditional information to it, extending the metadata outside of the mapfile:

   

  First you have to do an icon for the button and put it in the edit/htdocs/gfx (in our case it was named 'edit_series.gif'

   

  Then in the dhtmlEdit.js file in the function Map.prototype.editTableAddRow you have to replace the last part by the following:

   

    // rencenter on feature
    if (aFeature.operation != 'insert') {
     
   //Recenter
      var image = createInput(td, 'edit_recenter', '', 'image');
      image.src = xGetElementById("edit_recenter").src;
      image.border = "0";
      image.href = "#";
      image.onclick = function() {
        var id_recenter_ids = xGetElementById('id_recenter_ids');
        if (id_recenter_ids == null)
          var input = createInput(myform, 'id_recenter_ids', aFeature.id, 'hidden');
        else
          id_recenter_ids.value = aFeature.id;
        
        var id_recenter_layer = xGetElementById('id_recenter_layer');
        if (id_recenter_layer == null)
          var input = createInput(myform, 'id_recenter_layer', myform.edit_layer.value, 'hidden');
        else
          id_recenter_layer.value = myform.edit_layer.value;
        doSubmit();
      }
   
   //xAppendChild(td, image);
    xAppendChild(row, td);
   
   var td = xCreateElement("td");
   
   //Editar Serie
   var image2 = createInput(td, 'edit_series', '', 'image');
      image2.src = xGetElementById("edit_series").src;
      image2.border = "0";
      image2.href = "#";
      image2.onclick = function(){
    window.open ("http://localhost/cartoweb3/htdocs/agroGeo/talhao.php?id="+aFeature.id,"","width=680,height=500,resizable=1,scrollbars=1"); 
   }
   //xAppendChild(td, image2);
    }
    
    xAppendChild(row, td);
    xAppendChild(tbody, row);

   

   

  Hope it helps,

   

  Regards,

  Albert
