<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>please ask your support question on the USER mailinglist
(<FONT size=1><A
href="mailto:cartoweb-users@lists.maptools.org">cartoweb-users@lists.maptools.org</A></FONT>)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the dev mailing list is only intended if you would like to
participate to correction/modification/improvement of the core code of
Cartoweb</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I would say the easiest would be to use a postgres/postgis
layer and set the data sql query dynamicaly via a new plugin, using either the
mapOverlay plugin or mapscript directly if you feel like it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Your plugin would only need client->server action so you
can pretty much use the existing example available on the wiki: <A
href="http://www.cartoweb.org/cwiki/HowToDisplayOnTheMapAPointFromADatabaseQuery">http://www.cartoweb.org/cwiki/HowToDisplayOnTheMapAPointFromADatabaseQuery</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the action of that example plugin is obviously different, but
the global structure and logic is the same.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>also search the mailinglist for the multiple questions
regarding mapOverlay usage, there was a lot of answer about that
already.</FONT></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I would like to integrate a
specific feature to my Cartoweb project: In an own folder (like “layers”,
“export pdf” etc.), there should be three dropdown choice fields – one for
year, one for month and one for day. By selecting an arbitrary date, a request
should be formulated and ask for a raster file named after the date located in
a database. This raster file will automatically be depicted in the map.
Concretely, climate data maps (temperature, precipitation, snow) shall be
queried and displayed according to the user’s
requirements.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

Cartoweb? By adapting an existing Plugin, e.g. Search or Routing? Is there
some experience from a similar project which I could get the script files
from?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
