Is there a way to add 'server side' include on
chameleon .html page.

Or is there a widget that could do this..

How would one construct a simple widget to include
other page (Ie header, which is located on different
server) 

Or can I include php script anywhere inside of <CWC2
</CWC2>

I tried changing .html extension to parse as php, but
it does not work with chameleon??

Any suggestions?

Thanks

You can use the following syntax in your template:

For Files:

[#INCLUDEFILENAME#]

For PHP Variables:

[$VARIABLENAME$]

For files the include *may* have to be located in the same directory as your template ... 
I'm not sure if you can use paths in the include.

I would add that the [#INCLUDEFILENAME#] syntax is parsed during the 
preprocessing, so you can include anything with it, widgets or html (not 
php since php is not parsed in chameleon). Also it use the file() 
functionality of php, so if your php support it, you will be able to 
include URL or file on another server.

Ok little tougher this time.

How do I include this in 'include'

ie my url is this
http://www.test.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi?fruit=apple

and this is what I do:

[#http://www.test.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi?fruit=apple#]

So far so good.

But now if I have a form on previous page with value
[$NAME_OF_FRUIT$] it shows fine, by itself ie
<B>[$NAME_OF_FRUIT$]</B>
will actually show apple bold (Or whatever fruitname
was entered on form, before submitting it to chameleon
created page)

So how do I include my include with my include (That
sounds kinda cool ;) )

I tried this:
[#http://www.test.com/cgi-bin/test.cgi?fruit=[$NAME_OF_FRUIT$]#]

It won't parse [$NAME_OF_FRUIT$] inside "##"
I tried several different ways, but could not get it
to work.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Message-ID: <913134132F1BD21180240008C7F428E04F73D5@PANGAEA_PROD01>

List,
 
I'm pretty new to Chameleon and am not sure where the best place is to apply
PHP/MapScript logic within the Chameleon framework.  Armed with the
information gained from the MapServer User's Meeting last month, I was able
to get my interface up and styled with relative ease.  Now I have to change
the data content (i.e. name and data source of a layer) based on user
interaction with a pull-down form field.  I'm pretty comfortable with how to
do this in PHP/MapScript (see my basic approach below), but not knowing much
about how map session and state information is maintained with Chameleon,
I'm not sure where I should go with this.
 

$nLayers=$oApp->moMapSession->oMap->numlayers;
 
for($i=0; $i<$nLayers; $i++)
{
    $oLayer=$oApp->moMapSession->oMap->getlayer($i);
    if ($oLayer->name == 'Original_Layer_Name') {
        $oLayer->set("name","User_Defined_Layer_Name");
        $oLayer->set("data","/data1/rest_of_path_to_data");
    }
}
 

If there doesn't already exist a widget to help me perform this task,
perhaps a custom widget is the answer, but again without more knowledge of
the anatomy of widgets and how to develop them, I wouldn't know where to
start.  A push in the right direction would be very much appreciated.  I'm
excited to get past the initial learning curve for utilizing all the
potential of Chameleon and hope this exercise will bring me closer.
 
Thanks,
Shon

This can't work right now because the chameleon preprocessor parse [##] 
tags before [$$] tags. The reason is simple. This way you can include 
[$$] in components added by [##] tags. If you want to change this 
behavior, look in the TemplateParser.php file 
(chameleon/htdocs/TemplateParser.php) for the Parser() function. You 
will see that the first thing that is done in this function is the 
replacement of [##] tags and then the [$$] tags. Maybe you can invert 
them. Or parse for [$$], then for [##] and again for [$$] to replace the 
newly added tags. But this can have a little impact on performance.

Let us know what you have done and the impact on performance. :)

Thanks
Julien

Shon,

this sounds like a new widget for sure.  Unfortunately there isn't any 
real documentation on creating new widgets yet (it's still in the 
planning stages right now).  Your best bet is to look at existing 
widgets and model your code on that.

As a quick overview, I would suggest taking something like the mapsize 
widget and using it as your starting point.  Your code below will go 
into the ParseURL function.  The user interface is generated in the 
DrawPublish function.  The definition of the attributes that your widget 
supports ... and initialization of default values ... goes in the widget 
constructor and the InitDefaults method.

Cheers,

Paul

To all:

I am wondering about all the different symbols for MapServer.  Is there
a library of all the different symbols.  For example water wells (dry,
abandoned, etc) or gas well (producing, plugged, abandoned, etc)
symbols? I am new, I hope this is not too simple of a question.

Thanks,

Subject: [Chameleon] JSAPI newbie questions
Message-ID: <004601c467ab$ffc9f2b0$31289f88@GLADSTONE>

Hello all.

Now that I have chameleon up and running I thought the best way to get
things rolling on the learning curve was to dive in and use it for an
upcoming project. The project has the requirement of a tool where the
user clicks on the map, I get the coordinates for that click, and then I
go and do something with those coords. Fairly straight forward.

After reading the docs on widgets and JSAPI I decided likely the JSAPI
was a good way to go and further decided to start off by implimenting
the example in the JSAPI docs.

So first I added the two lines up below the rest of the shared
resources:

<CWC2 TYPE="SharedResource" NAME="CWCJSAPI"/>
<CWC2 TYPE="CWCJSAPI" Debug="false"/>

This I gather should tell things that I am using JSAPI.

I then added the event register to the myOnLoad() function like:

function myOnLoad()
{
  CWC2OnLoadFunction();
  goCWCApp.RegisterEvent( MOUSE_CLICKED,
                        "myMouseClicked");
}

Then I pasted in the myMouseClicked function from the JSAPI docs, like:

function myMouseClicked()
{
  oMap = goCWCApp.oMap;
  mousePos = "(" + oMap.mouseclick[0] + ","
                 + oMap.mouseclick[1] + ")";
  alert("mouse clicked at " + mousePos);
}

So now my question. What have I done wrong or missed doing? By added the
above it more or less breaks the page. Is it because I have not set it
to tell the other widgets to not operate, ie if the tool selected is
zoomin, then its going to zoomin as well as my little function?
Obviously I am going to want to change it so it only does my function,
but can you have both if you wanted too?

Any suggestions appreciated, as well as tips, tales and stories from
those more experienced with the JSAPI.

Thanks,

Ken Sanderson

Ken,

the CWCJSAPI widget is more or less broken for any version after 1.0.6 
(i.e. any of the 1.1 or 1.99 versions) up to and including the 1.99 beta 
1 version.  It should work for the beta 2 version which is to be 
released this week (pending internal qa review) for most widgets, but it 
likely still has problems that won't be fully resolved until beta 3 or 4.

I would appreciate it if you do try to use it for your project once beta 
2 is released as this will give me some real feedback :)

Cheers,

Paul

Dear List:

I am stuck.  I've copied the ESRI Oil, Gas, & Water TTF from my Windows\font directory into the \etc folder.  I added the following to my font.txt file:
esri_4    esri_4.ttf

and I have added the following to my symbol.sym file:
SYMBOL
NAME 'gaswell'
TYPE TRUETYPE
FONT esri_4
FILLED true
ANTIALIAS true
CHARACTER '3'
END

In my map file I have the following:
LAYER
  NAME gas_wells_120603
  METADATA
    "DESCRIPTION"   "Wells"
    "RESULT_FIELDS" "Layer"
  END
MAXSCALE 30000  
TYPE POINT
  STATUS ON
  DATA gas_wells_120603
  LabelItem "Layer"  
  CLASSITEM "Type" 
 
CLASS
    EXPRESSION "1"  
    TEMPLATE "ttt_query.html"
    SYMBOL 'cbm'
    SIZE 4
    NAME cbm
    
    COLOR 50 249 242
  END
 
  TOLERANCE 5
END # Layer

And now the question...

Why cannot I not get esri little symbol for a gas well?  It is the 3 character of the first line of characters.

I am running the latest mapserver download from DM Solution.  I did not compile anything I am using it as is for Windows.

I am playing with this at home  this weekend if anyone happens to see this.

Thanks so much,

David

David,
The syntax for this would be:
 
CHARACTER "&#3;"  or perhaps "&#003;"

I want to do something similar but I DO want to use Chameleon. I'm using
the CursorPos widget. My map is in a UTM projection, zone 19.  What
should be my approach to getting CursorPos to display lat/long vs.
meters.

Currently it is not possible to display the cursor position in anything 
other than the projection defined in the map file.  The reason is that 
Chameleon produces a client-side web application, but the projection 
software that would be used to convert the cursor position into lat/lon 
runs on the server.  It is not practical to call this library for every 
cursor movement.

We have discussed possible solutions to this, the most viable seems to 
be production of a javascript array containing pre-projected points, say 
every ten pixels, and using this grid to map the current cursor position 
into the re-projected coordinate system.

I don't think there are any plans to implement this right now.

Cheers,

Paul

Isaac,

Couple of things...

If your intention is to use Chameleon I would encourage you to download 
Chameleon 1.99 Beta.  You have downloaded CWC2 1.0.6 - the precursor to 
Chameleon.

Having said that, in order to get your CWC2 installation up and running 
we'll need to check a couple of things.  Firstly, do you have a file 
called httpd_cwc2.conf in your /ms4w/httpd.d/ directory?  If not then 
please create one with name httpd_cwc2.conf (actually, it can be any 
name you wish) and place the following text in it:

Alias /chameleon/ "/ms4w/apps/cwc2/htdocs/"

<Directory "/ms4w/apps/cwc2/htdocs/">
   AllowOverride None
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>


Restart Apache.

Type the following in your browser:

http://localhost/chameleon/cwc2.php

This should get you an application.  Note that you can pass a couple of 
parameters in the url to get different applications - ie, the service 
instance in action.  For instance, you could type:

http://localhost/chameleon/cwc2.php?template=demo.html

and receive a different application altogether.  A few templates have 
been provided in the htdocs directory by the developers and designers of 
cwc2.

Hope this helps,
Jason

Subject: [Chameleon] Chameleon as a WMS client
Message-ID: <21727.212.238.227.182.1089901084.squirrel@webmail.xs4all.nl>

Hi list,

I have a Chameleon application with 5 WMS layers which come from the same
machine, all served by mapserv.exe, but with different MAP files.

So Chameleon acts a WMS client (through Mapserver's WMS client).

If I get an error on one of the layers, the spinner just keep on turning
and no image is returned. I would expect an image to return 4 of the 5
layers which are working. So this is not a timeout, but a mapserver error
which is not handled in the best possible way.

Is this a Chameleon "bug" or a Mapserver WMS client "bug"?

This is what Mapserver gives back:
loadOutputFormat(): General error message. OUTPUTFORMAT clause references
driver swf, but this driver isn't configured.

On the following request:
http://myserver/cgi-bin/mapserv_42.exe?map=/ms4w_20/apps/general/map/gemeentes.map&request=GetMap&bbox=100000,400000,200000,500000&width=500&height=500&format=image/png&version=1.1.1&srs=EPSG:28992&layers=Gemeentes

BTW: should not always a WMS Exception be returned by Mapserver?

Best regards,
Bart

I think you would want to use the Query widget <cwc2 type="Query" ...>.
In your LAYER make sure you have a 
TEMPLATE "anything.html" and perhaps DUMP TRUE.

Having just looked quickly you might want to try putting the TEMPLATE on 
the LAYER object rather than the CLASS object.

Hello,
    I have recently written an application that links to another website
after having done a local search and display of points on a map.  My
question is, is there a way of passing the outside  website an address of my
current map state, so they can link back to it?
thanks for any info on this,

I would recommend you open your link in a new window using javascript:

<A HREF="window.open('your url')">your clickable link</A>

This way, your user will not have to wait for the page to load again.
Alternatively, load  a HTML file from your server that has two frames; set
the bottom (main) frame to your link, and put a 'back' option in the top
one.

Subject: [Chameleon] Multiple DSN Problem
Message-ID: <9B09D75DF5B3494BA06E6FE478CE9CC10101A3C4@mgtserver3.ontario.int.ec.gc.ca>

Hi there,

	I was wondering if anyone has any experience with executing
select statements using two different DSNs simultaneously.  For my work,
I require functionality similar to the following: "select a.* from
tablename1 a, tablename2 b where a.id=b.id and b.filter='t'" , where
tablename1 and tablename2 are from 2 DIFFERENT DSNs.  Both DSNs are to
be accessed via a realtime connection to a MS Access 2000 database from
a linux host via the FREETDS drivers.  I currently have both DSNs
working independently in 2 test layers (with no errors) using the
required fields.  Here's the .ovf file used for the selection queue from
the MS Access 2000 databases.

Database1:
-----------------
<OGRVRTDataSource>
        <OGRVRTLayer name="Layer1Name">
 
<SrcDataSource>ODBC:UserName/Password@DSN1Name</SrcDataSource>
                <SrcSQL>select statement here</SrcSQL>
                <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
                <GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="longitude"
y="lati
tude"/>
        </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>

Database2:
----------------
<OGRVRTDataSource>
        <OGRVRTLayer name="Layer2Name">
 
<SrcDataSource>ODBC:UserName/Password@DSN2Name</SrcDataSource>
                <SrcSQL>select statement here</SrcSQL>
                <GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType>
                <GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="longitude"
y="lati
tude"/>
        </OGRVRTLayer>
</OGRVRTDataSource>


What I require is a .ovf file which allows for 2 SrcDataSource(s).  I've
attempted to add an additional <SrcDataSource> tag followed by the
connection information to the second database to the first .ovf file,
however I consistently get no points found... even if I don't use the
data.  Are there any known ways of accomplishing this task?  If not,
I'll probably have to extract the necessary fields from Layer2 in a file
on the local machine, and then use either javascript or php to filter
the results from Layer1.  Any comments, suggestions, and related
questions would be greatly appreciated.  Also, as I'm unsure whether
this would be considered more of a Chameleon or Mapserver problem, I've
posted it to both mailing lists.

Subject: [Chameleon] Locate Widget
Message-ID: <00b501c46dd2$d69f2450$31289f88@GLADSTONE>

Hello all,

I have a couple questions in regards to the locate widget, specifically
about what is happening at the service end.

I have a need to setup something similar as the NTS Mapsheet tool, only
using a different grid. How does the NTS lookup service work? Is it just
a database where each mapsheet has a listed extent that you grab from
the query response? I assume its not a WMS or WFS layer? Is it just a
math formula given that the NTS grid follows Lat/Longs?

Any general/specific information on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ken Sanderson

Ken, I don't know how the NTS MapSheet lookup service is implemented. 
We just connect to the service, provide input in a certain format and 
expect results back in another format.  I would expect that the naming 
convention of mapsheets is sufficient for them to locate the mapsheet 
geographically.  To Chameleon, it is immaterial how you implement the 
service but very important that you clearly define how data is passed to 
and from your service. Hope that helps,

Paul

hi,

if you download the latest released version of chameleon (beta1 at this 
time) it includes a file called CWC2_INSTALLATION.txt that is a little 
out of date but should get you started.

If you are a windows user, you can try the MS4W package 
(www.maptools.org/ms4w) and download a pre-configured chameleon package 
that works with the MS4W package directly.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me whether the procedure for using the javascript API is
still the same? Adding the two CWCJSAPI tags in the template?

I have done this, but my application seems to hang on navigating straight
away. It only loads correctly the first time. Also, inserting the first tag
( <CWC2 TYPE="SharedResource" NAME="CWCJSAPI"/> ) seems to mess up the
layout; even in the debug=false mode, the widget takes up a lot of space.

Can anyone shed some light on what is happening? I'm using 1.99 beta1

Regards,

Jacob

Jacob,

the procedure is the same, but the widget does not work at all except in 
the latest cvs version, and it is still mostly untested and is only 
known to work with some widgets at this time.

The debug="true" parameter will cause an iframe to be visible. 
debug="false" should cause it to be invisible and have no impact on the 
layout.

Cheers,

Paul

Paul,

I managed to convince our network administrator to change the firewall so I
could finally get to the CSV to download the newer files.

Even with the debug off (the iframe not visible), it does seem to change the
layout. The size it appears to take up is equal to the size of the iframe
when debug is on. What is the best place to put the tag in the template?
Normally the location of javascript declarations can be quite relevant.

I did not actually manage to get a lot of functionality out of the widget.
The scale seems to be working, but not the navigation.

Regards,

Jacob

Hi all,

	I'm posting this message due to a problem I've encountered with
the WMS Browser application.  I'm currently using Chameleon 1.0.5, and
have encountered the following error; whenever a user attempts to
add/remove any server datasource via the WMS Browser gui (under layer
selection), the configuration changes last only as long as the user's
session... essentially the changes are not permanent.  I'd like to add a
permanent datasource from which the users can both browse and select
remote layers to display on our map.  Is there any way to do this?  The
CubeWerx WMS mapserver has already been added, although not by me, and
as of yet, I've been unable to establish how that was accomplished.
Please note that version 1.0.5 does not contain the WMSBrowser folder in
the widgets directory, as that was apparently implemented in later
versions to which we would rather not upgrade to.

there is supposed to be a tab in the admin interface (third tab over) 
that allows you to manage the persistent list of wms servers.  It is 
possible that it does not work correctly, but try this first.

If this doesn't work, you can accomplish this in a different way (it's a 
little more manual labour)

* find the location that php is storing sessions.  Normally this is 
found in the php.ini file.

* remove old sessions and then connect to the service instance, this 
will create a new directory called sess_******* where ******* is some 
random number

* in the session directory, a bunch of files are created AND a directory 
called data or userdata I think.  The wms cache is copied here so that 
any changes that are made are made to this copy instead of the 
persistent copy.

* in the application, add your server, update stuff, remove them ...

* copy the contents of the user data directory from the session into the 
cwc2 data directory, replacing existing files.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul,

	I really appreciate the quick response.  The admin interface
appears to be functioning correctly, and in the third tab there exist
the various add/update options for WMS sources.  I'll try adding the new
WMS server connection later, as the data to add is currently
unavailable.  Thanks a lot for the assistance.

I'm working on creating a mapping page that includes the locate services
as an embedded element to the page.  Has anyone done this before or have
any suggestions for trying to do this?

Hi Aaron,

I have done this successfully for two widgets, but it needs a lot of 
tweaking.

Sorry that I did not get back to you after the user conference. Did you 
try to follow up on my approach?

What you need to do is also take the Locate widget into your template 
using the CWC2 tag, but commenting it out with HTML comments <!-- --> so 
that it doesn't show. This is needed to get the buttons working in the 
embedded iframe.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Bart

I am also very interested in this, not for the Locate widget, but for
several other Popup based widgets: Query, LayerManager2.  I was thinking
of turning these into iframes vs. Popup window widgets since both have a
SRC=URL type tag approach. The widgets would output iframe html with the
src pointing to the poup url instead of opening a new window first.

Anyone have any experience with this approach?

Eric,

this is something that I have scheduled to look at after the final 1.99 
release (i.e. something in the 2.1 development).

The approach that I am planning to take is to modify Popup.php to target 
an iframe in a <div> that is displayed over the current page rather than 
use window.open.  If things go well, the Chameleon core can be modified 
quite easily (as long as all widgets are using Popup.php for these 
services).  More work will likely be needed to make each dialog box play 
nicely in an iframe, particularly javascript references to 
parent.opener, embedded forms, js code loaded multiple times etc.  Bart 
has some experience with this already, I think it can be time-consuming 
to track down all the errors for each dialog, but I would hope that once 
a couple were done, it would be a matter of repeating the fixes.

Hi Aaron,

you could do this by copy paste from the Locate widget php code (the 
javascript callback function is in there).

Easier option is to use the widget also in a normal way in your template, 
and comment it with HTML comments. The javascript interface of the widget 
will come into the template, but you won't see the widget in there.

If I have the time I will set up a demo to download for people in the next 
few days.

Best regards,
Bart

Message-ID: <41079493.1010600@magma.ca>

All,

***********************************************************************
*                                                                     *
* NOTE: if you are an existing user of Chameleon 1.99 beta1 or some   *
* CVS version, it is very important to read the note on configuration *
* changes in the New Features section.                                *
*                                                                     * 

***********************************************************************

Chameleon 1.99 Beta 2 is now available, it is based on the CVS version 
as of 9 July 2004.

It can be downloaded from the following locations:

Linux (tar.gz):
---------------

http://www.maptools.org/dl/chameleon-1.99beta2.tar.gz

Windows (zip):
--------------

http://www.maptools.org/dl/chameleon-1.99beta2.zip

Windows MS4W (zip):
-------------------

http://www.maptools.org/dl/chameleon_ms4w-1.99beta2.zip

New Features:
-------------

* bug 343: added a new Service Instance mode for Chameleon, called cwc2. 
  cwc2 is a subdirectory of the chameleon installation and is an 
application built upon chameleon that allows remote users to create 
applications without a local installation of chameleon. Documentation is 
still coming for this, this should be considered an ALPHA feature for 
this release.  There is more information on the service instance at the 
end of this email (see CWC2 Service Instance Notes below)

***********************************************
*                                             *
* CONFIGURATION FILE CHANGES - VERY IMPORTANT *
*                                             *
***********************************************

With the addition of the service instance (called cwc2), I have finally 
fixed up the configuration files.  The configuration file in beta1 was 
called cwc2.xml for historical reasons (since chameleon was originally 
called CWC2).  It contained several parameters that were only really 
needed by the service instance but I left them in because I knew that 
this service instance was coming back at some point.  So now that it is 
back, I have split the configuration file into two separate files, 
chameleon.xml and cwc2.xml.  It is NOT sufficient to rename your 
cwc2.xml to chameleon.xml.  The splitting process resulted in the 
removal of some completely unnecessary elements, the adding of new 
parameters, and changing the names of some elements.

You MUST start from the xml-dist versions of these files.  You will find 
that you can copy some settings from the existing cwc2.xml into the 
appropriate place in either chameleon.xml or the new cwc2.xml.

For ms4w users, the package comes pre-configured so you don't have to 
worry about this at all.

For non-ms4w users, you may want to check out the ms4w version's 
configuration files if you are having difficulty.


*** back to the release notes ***

* added sample xml and xsd documents for upcoming widget documentation 
system.

* bug 478: updated the cwc2.xml file for ms4w installations

updated the Makefile to allow creation of the ms4w distribution files 
directly.

Changes:
--------

* KeyMapDHTML2 renamed to KeyMapDHTML

* updated CWC2_INSTALLATION.txt for version 1.99, still needs works and 
should be renamed

* bug 367: added optional compression formats as widget attributes to 
the ExtractWFSData widget, and added ZIP to the available formats.

Bug Fixes:
----------

popupstyleresource was not also referenced as a styleresource somewhere 
in the template

* bug 445: fixed a problem in popup dialogs if no styleresource or 
popupstyle resource is used, buttons are now represented as HTML buttons 
in this case.

* bug 446: fixed naming issue in many of the sample templates 
(ReferenceLayer was incorrectly named InfoLayer)

* fixed include path problem in KeepSessionAlive widget

as the name/id of html elements but the button names were randomly 
generated and could start with a number, which is invalid for use as a 
name in HTML.

* bug 93: widgets can now exist on different forms by setting the 
formindex attribute.  This also fixed a problem with widgets not 
respecting the visible and enabled attributes.

* bug 486: fixed syntax error in HelpWidget

* bug 104: fixed a bug related to widgets that should never be part of 
toolsets, but were able to be.

* bug 190: fixed a bug in the ROIRenderer when drawing ROIs and the 
session is expired, the ROI image became broken.  Now it displays 
"session expired".

* fixed a problem in the LegendTemplate widget where deleted layers 
would be 'undeleted' if they were previously visible before deleting them.

CWC2 Service Instance Notes
---------------------------

In lieu of real documentation, I'm providing some working notes at this 
time.  This will eventually show up in one of the chameleon documents :)

**** CWC2 Users Guide ****

Installing the CWC2 Service Instance
====================================

The CWC2 Service Instance is installed with the Chameleon package by 
default.  To access the Service Instance, you will need to adjust your 
system configuration and edit the Service Instance configuration file to 
reflect your system's configuration.

Note that the Service Instance requires a properly installed and 
configured Chameleon package, please follow the Chameleon installation 
instructions and ensure that Chameleon is fully functional before 
attempting to configure the Service Instance.

System Configuration
====================

You will need to configure your Web Server to grant access to at least 
one directory in the service instance.  Two other directories are 
optional.  The following table is a suggested configuration:

URL                         Required? Path
--------------------------- --------- -------------------------------
http://<myserver>/cwc2      YES       <install-path>/chameleon/cwc2/htdocs/
http://<myserver>/templates NO 
<install-path>/chameleon/cwc2/templates/
http://<myserver>/contexts  NO 
<install-path>/chameleon/cwc2/contexts/

Service Instance Configuration
==============================

You will need to make a copy of the cwc2.xml-dist file found in the 
<install-path>/chameleon/config folder and name it cwc2.xml.  You will 
need to edit at least some of the settings found in this file.  Each 
configuration item is described in the xml document, but as a minimum 
you should review the following items:

Config Item            Set to ...
---------------------  -----------------------------------------------
service_instance_path  URL to service instance htdocs folder (from above)
server_data_path       <install-path>/chameleon/cwc2/data
default_context 
<install-path>/chameleon/cwc2/contexts/world_context.xml
default_template 
<install-path>/chameleon/cwc2/templates/sample_cwc2.html
context_root           <install-path>/chameleon/cwc2/contexts/
template_root          <install-path>/chameleon/cwc2/templates
fontlist_file          <install-path>/chameleon/cwc2/etc/fonts.txt
symbol_file            <install-path>/chameleon/cwc2/etc/symbols.sym

Testing the Service Instance
============================

Assuming that the above configuration is implemented correctly, the 
Service Instance should now be fully functional.  You can test your 
Service Instance by connecting to the following URL:

http://<myserver>/cwc2/cwc2.php

You should receive the following message:

request URI was http://<myserver>/cwc2/cwc2.php
query string was
Missing mandatory SERVICE parameter

This error message means that the Web Server is correctly providing 
access to the Service Instance.

Normally, the Service Instance is configured to provide a default 
application and context.  If you followed the instructions above, you 
can access the default application and context by connecting to the 
following URL:

http://<myserver>/cwc2/cwc2.php?service=VCG&request=GetApplication&version=0.1.0

Please read the CWC2 Service Instance Users Guide to find out more about 
communicating with and using the features of the Service Instance

Getting Help
============

The CWC2 Service Instance is part of the Chameleon package available 
from http://www.maptools.org.  Please visit the Chameleon web site at 
http://www.maptools.org/chameleon to access information about using 
Bugzilla and the Chameleon users mailing list.

**** CWC2 USERS GUIDE ****

CWC2 Service Instance Users Guide
=================================

Getting Started
===============

Please refer to the CWC2 Service Instance Installation Guide for 
instructions on getting your Service Instance installed and tested. 
This document assumes that you have a fully functional and correctly 
configured Service Instance.

Terms and Definitions
=====================

CWC2 - TBD

Service Instance - TBD

Chameleon - TBD

CWC2 Service Instance Server - TBD

Application - TBD

...

Basic Concepts
==============

The CWC2 Service Instance is an application built on top of the 
Chameleon engine that allows application developers to create web 
mapping applications by creating an Application Template and a Web Map 
Context document.  It will only work with WMS layers.

The CWC2 Service Instance is a web service that can be invoked by 
clients using only a web browser.

Service Exceptions
==================

A Service Exception is the term used to describe the result of an error 
that happens in the CWC2 Service Instance.  The CWC2 Service Instance is 
designed to capture internal errors and report them in a standard, 
machine-parsable way using structured XML documents.  Whenever an error 
is trapped internally, CWC2 will generate and return a Service Exception 
instead of the application.  The intention is to provide sufficient 
information to the user to allow for troubleshooting of the problem that 
caused the Service Exception to be triggered.  Service Exceptions can 
happen at any time and for a wide variety of reasons.

<NOTE: service exceptions are currently just plain text>

Common Request Parameters
=========================

This section describes parameters that are common to every invocation of 
the Service Instance.

REQUEST
-------
The REQUEST parameter indicates which operation is being invoked and its 
value is one of the names of the operations supported by the service 
instance.  The REQUEST parameter is mandatory in every invocation of the 
service instance.

VERSION
-------
The VERSION parameter indicates the protocol version number and is 
mandatory in every invocation of the service instance.

SERVICE
-------
The SERVICE parameter indicates the service that is being requested. 
Some web services can be configured to provide multiple services through 
the same base URL.  In the case of CWC2, this is not yet possible, 
however, this parameter is provided for compatibility with existing 
services and for possible future requirements.  The SERVICE parameter is 
mandatory in every invocation of the service instance.

Supported REQUESTs
==================

The CWC2 Service Instance supports two REQUESTs, described below.

GetCapabilities
===============

<NOTE: not yet implemented>

The purpose of the GetCapabilities operation is to describe the 
operating parameters of a particular Service Instance to enable clients 
to use the service in an effective manner.

GetCapabilites Request Parameters
---------------------------------
The GetCapabilities operation has three mandatory paramters, SERVICE, 
REQUEST and VERSION, described in the following table:

Parameter               Required/   Description
                         Optional
SERVICE=VCG                R        Service name, must be VCG.
REQUEST=GetCapabilities    R        request name, must be GetCapabilities
VERSION=<version>          R        supported protocol version number

GetCapabilities Reponse
-----------------------
The response to the GetCapabilities request is an XML document.  This 
feature is not yet implemented.

GetApplication
==============

The purpose of the GetApplication operation is to generate a client 
application based on the parameters provided when invoking the service.

GetCapabilites Request Parameters
---------------------------------
The GetApplication operation has three mandatory paramters and six 
optional parameters described in the following table:

Parameter               Required/   Description
                         Optional
SERVICE=VCG                R        Service name, must be VCG.
REQUEST=GetApplication     R        request name, must be GetApplication
VERSION=<version>          R        supported protocol version number
LANGUAGES=<list>           O        a list of languages
TEMPLATES=<list>           O        a list of application template paths or
                                     URLs
CONTEXTS=<list>            O        a list of context paths or URLs
LANGUAGE=<lang>            O        the language to display
BBOX=<list>                O        a comma separated list of coordinates
                                     that describe the initial spatial 
extents
                                     to be displayed to the user
SRS=<srs>                  O        a spatial reference system, must be 
a valid
                                     EPSG code, to be used for the 
initial map
                                     view.

LANGUAGES
---------
A list of language specifiers separated by commas.  Languages are 
specified in the form of a two-character language code followed by a 
dash and a two character country code.  Service instances will list 
supported languages in the capabilities document.  Unsupported languages 
may be requested, but the service instance will use the default language 
for unsupported languages.

This parameter is optional unless TEMPLATES is set, in which case it is 
mandatory.

TEMPLATES
---------
A list of application template paths or URLs separated by commas.  A 
template is identified by either a relative path on the server (relative 
to the template root directory specified in the service instance 
configuration) or a URL to a web-accessible template.  The templates are 
listed in the same order as the LANGUAGES, with one template required 
for each supported language (even if the same template supports every 
language).  URLs must be in the standard 
http://<server>/path/template.html format and must be URL-encoded.

This parameter is optional unless LANGUAGES is set, in which case it is 
mandatory.  The service instance defines a default template in its 
configuration file.

CONTEXTS
--------
A list of web map context paths or URLs separated by commas.    A 
context is identified by either a relative path on the server (relative 
to a directory specified in the service instance configuration) or a URL 
to a web-accessible context.  The contexts are loaded in the order in 
which they appear in this value, and the projection and spatial extents 
are taken from the last context loaded (see Common Problems below).  The 
order of the contexts determines the order in which the layers of each 
context are drawn.  Layers from the first context in the list are drawn 
first, layers from later contexts are drawn 'on top' of earlier ones. 
URLs must be in the standard http://<server>/path/template.html format 
and must be URL-encoded.

This parameter is optional.  The service instance defines a default 
value in its configuration file.

LANGUAGE
--------
The lanuage to use to display the application.  This will cause one of 
the templates to be selected from the available TEMPLATES.

This parameter is optional.  The service instance defines a default 
value in its configuration file.

BBOX
----
The BBOX provides a mechanism to define a different set of initial 
spatial extents that the default.  By default, the Service Instance will 
use the extents defined in the last context opened.  This may not be 
appropriate in all cases, especially when providing multiple contexts. 
The format for this parameter is to provide a comma-separated list of 
values in the following order:

BBOX=<MINX>,<MINY>,<MAXX>,<MAXY>

The values are specified in georeferenced coordinates and depend on the 
spatial reference system of the initial view.

SRS
---
The SRS provides a mechanism to define a different spatial reference 
system that the default.  By default, the Service Instance will use the 
SRS defined in the last context opened.  This may not be appropriate in 
all cases, especially when providing multiple contexts.  This parameter 
must use EPSG codes in the following format:

SRS=EPSG:XXXXX

Common Problems
===============

Paths to TEMPLATES and CONTEXTS
-------------------------------
When specifying a template or a context, you must do so in relation to 
the Service Instance server.  This means that if the context or template 
that you wish to access is on the Service Instance server, then it must 
reside in the Service Instances defined template directory or context 
directory (or a subdirectory of these).  If the context or template is 
not on the Service Instance server, then you must refer to it using a 
valid URL.  It is very important to note that the URL will be opened 
from the Service Instance server, so a URL that refers to localhost:

http://localhost/mytemplates/app1.html

will most likely NOT work.  This is because the Service Instance, when 
it tries to open this URL, will be pointing to itself, most likely not 
the situation you intended.

Multiple CONTEXTS appear wrong
------------------------------
When specifying multiple CONTEXTS, the Service Instance will load them 
sequentially and use the BBOX and SRS defined in the last context it 
loads.  It is quite possible that the BBOX and SRS in the last context 
you want to load are not valid for all the contexts that you are trying 
to load.  For instance, if you try to load the world_context.xml and the 
gmap_context.xml (in that order) that come with the service instance, 
the world data will be displayed in LCC projection and will not appear 
to 'line up' with the gmap data.  The problem is that the projection is 
invalid for extents beyond Canada.  To fix this problem, you can 
manually provide a BBOX and SRS as part of the request.  In this case, 
changing the SRS to EPSG:4326 displays everything correctly.

Limitations
===========

The CWC2 Service Instance will only work with data that is accessible 
via WMS

The CWC2 Service Instance does not allow applications to define and 
access custom widgets unless they are installed in the Chameleon 
instance that the CWC2 Service Instance is configured to use.

Some example invocations:

The base URL to the service instance is (note this is an invalid request):
http://localhost/chameleon/cwc2/cwc2.php

The URL to get the Service Instance capabilities is (note this doesn't 
do anything yet):
http://localhost/chameleon/cwc2/cwc2.php?service=VCG&request=GetCapabilities&version=0.1.0

The URL to get the default template, context and language is (note this 
is the most basic valid request):

Message-ID: <9B09D75DF5B3494BA06E6FE478CE9CC10101A3C6@mgtserver3.ontario.int.ec.gc.ca>

Hi there,

	I'm currently using chameleon 1.0.5, and am attempting to modify
the default template file (test.html) such that it has build in wfs
extraction functionality (as opposed to creating a widget for the same
purpose).  The code I'm attempting to add is this:
        <tr>
                <td>
		<span ID='PullDown'>
		        <select name='ExtractWFS'>
		                <script language="JavaScript">
		                <!--
		                        for
(i=0;i<goCWCJSAPI.oMap.numlayers;i++)
		                        {
		                                document.write("<option
value='"+i+"'>"+goCWCJSAPI.oMap.aLayers[i].name+"</option>");
		                        }
		                -->
		                </script>
		        </select>
		</span>
                </td>
        </tr>

Because the layers are dynamically generated, the layername must be
specified directly in the template file (even if I were to implement the
rest in a widget).  The goal is for the option value (i) to be used as a
method of referencing the particular layer.

The problem I'm encountering is the inability to access the goCWCJSAPI
variable and it's contents.  I've tried numerous ways
(document.goCWCJSAPI, window.goCWCJSAPI)... does anyone know the proper
method of accessing the goCWCJSAPI variable from within the template
file?  Also of note is that in the final output (Chameleon Demo), the
source for the demo looks similar to the following:

<script language="JavaScript">
	all widget information, etc
	*ALLOWED* to access goCWCJSAPI
</script>
TemplateFileDump
<script language="JavaScript">
	my script
	*NOT ALLOWED* to access goCWCJSAPI
</script>

Essentially, my script is within a different <script> tag than the one
containing all the widget scripts...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just installing the new version and had a couple general questions.

The description of CWC2 says it allows for the creation of a chameleon
application without a local install. Can someone give me an example of
when you might use this? Are there limits on who can use CWC2 once you
have it setup? I assume that my server would be doing the work of the
other remote applications?

Do we need to install the CWC2, or is it optional? I know the folder is
there, but if you don't want to use this feature do you need to go
through the installation regardless? I noticed a few errors in the
samples that I didn't have before, but I havent done the CWC2 install
yet and wondering if that's the likely cause?

Thanks,

Ken

You would want to do this if you:

* only want to set up only one server
* you want to allow other organizations to run apps without installing 
anything
* rapid application development
* centralized management

... and probably other reasons too

There are some limits you can place, either through the configuration 
files or through appropriate limitations in your web server.

In the configuration files, you can choose to allow or deny access to 
remote contexts and templates.  If you deny access, you effectively 
limit them to only templates and contexts hosted on the server.  You 
should also limit the "root" of the context and template files.

You can also restrict access with a .htaccess file (or IIS equivalent?)

Your server would be doing all the work.

CWC2 is completely optional.  It is distributed with Chameleon but is 
only available if you actively configure it to be so.  Note that the 
MS4W version does come with it enabled.

I highly doubt that CWC2 would break the samples.  They are broken all 
by themselves :)

When loading the sample_ogc.phtml sample it errors with the following,
which is related to the tools_ogc.html toolbar loading, specifically the
ExtractWFSData widget:

ERROR: Initialization for ExtractWFSData failed with an invalid
attribute value. 
ERROR: missing required attribute COMPRESSFORMATS in ExtractWFSData 

I cant find COMPRESSFORMATS mentioned at all in the widget docs. What is
the format that this needs to be added to the widget line in the
tools_ogc.html?

Also for the sample sample_enhanced_jsapi.phtml I get a javascript
error: goCWCJSAPI.oKeyMap is null or not an object. I can only find this
in the KeyMapDHTML.widget.php file at:

//set the js map object to allow resizing or not.
goCWCJSAPI.oKeyMap.bAllowResize = {$bAllowResize};

Thanks,

Ken

Hi All,

If I use the beta2 as is, I get this (fatal) error in my PHP log:

[29-Jul-2004 09:02:51] PHP Warning:  imagesx(): supplied argument is not a

I had to remove my north arrow widget to get the page to load. I did not
have this problem with the CVS version of July 22nd (should I consider beta2
to be older?).

Where does it get the extent from? My context and mapfile have a valid
extent and projection....

When I configure the CWC instance to use a default context and template, I

Invalid request. No CONTEXTS parameter was provided and the Service Instance

I'm using the same templates as for the normal chameleon, and my setup is
exactly similar to the one I use for CWC 1.0.4 (which works).

Hi Ken,

for a full discussion see:
http://www.maptools.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=367

If you want to get it working now add:
compressformats="ZIP,TGZ" as an attribute to the ExtractWFSData CWC2 tag
in the template.

In next releases it will change though to optional child elements:
<cwc2 type="ExtractWFSData" ...>
<compressionformat value="ZIP" />
<compressionformat value="TGZ" />
</cwc2>

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
Bart

The attributes of the ExtractWFSData widget have been changed recently 
but the sample app was not updated.  And since beta 2, the widget has 
been updated again such that there are reasonable default values.  For 
the beta 2 release, you will need to add COMPRESSFORMATS="TAR,ZIP" to 
the tag.  In the cvs version (or beta 3 when it comes out), you will add 
subtags for <COMPRESSIONFORMAT VALUE="ZIP"/> and <OUTPUTFORMAT 
VALUE="GML"/> (other formats are also supported).

I will look into the jsapi errors.

Cheers,

Paul

Subject: [Chameleon] How do you set/get what tool is active with JSAPI?
Message-ID: <006301c4759e$64111460$31289f88@GLADSTONE>

Hello. I have been getting a bit of a JSAPI script to work, pretty basic
at this point, but if I can get the basic to work then after that its
all javascript and php unrelated to Chameleon, so simple is good.

One thing I noticed in the JSAPI docs is that at the end it still
references goCWCApp as the application object, but it should be
goCWCJSAPI. Also mouseclick[#] as mentioned under the MOUSE_CLICKED
example is not a property of oMap, it's a property of the application,
which is goCWCJSAPI. So it should be goCWCJSAPI.mouseclick[0].

On to my question. I have my little script working for mouse click on
the map. It pops up an alert box that gives me the geographic coords of
the place clicked. The problem I have is that I cant find a way to set
or retrieve what tool is currently active. I only want my script to
function if my tool is the one that's currently active, if zoomin is
selected then the map should zoomin as per normal.

How can I interface with the tools in this manner?

Thanks,

Ken
Miistakis

There isn't really a mechanism in the CWC JSAPI for determining which 
tool is active, but you can check:

if (document.forms[0].NAV_CMD.value == "ZOOM_IN")
{
}

Thanks for the reply. Still struggling with the best approach and how to
go about it.

I could put a check in my click function that uses what you provided
below, and then use the cooresponding JSAPI function to do the action.
So for example:

if (document.forms[0].NAV_CMD.value == "ZOOM_IN"){
  oMap.ZoomInPos( goCWCJSAPI.mouseclick[0], goCWCJSAPI.mouseclick[1] );
}

I can do that for ZOOM_OUT, ZOOM_IN, and RECENTER. ZOOM_IN might be
tricky as I have to handle the rectangle drawing as well, but I think
doable. How would you do this for QUERY though, I don't see a JSAPI
method for that? Also do the functions like ZoomInPos() currently work?
I have them implimented, no errors, but also nothing happens.

Are there any other options that I should be looking at? Really all I
want is to add my own tool that will give me the coords from the map to
use in my own script.

Thanks again,

Ken

Message-ID: <000101c475af$da276d00$31289f88@GLADSTONE>

To follow up that last email, specifically the questions about if
ZoomInPos() working or not, I noticed that as soon as I add these lines:

<!-- adding JSAPI functionality -->
<CWC2 TYPE="SharedResource" NAME="CWCJSAPI"/>
<CWC2 TYPE="CWCJSAPI" Debug="false"/>

All of the map tools stop working. Its not just the ZoomInPos() function
in JSAPI, it's the zoomin button as well. I don't even need to register
an event and nothing works. If I define an event then my event will
work, but none of the buttons work at all. Is this how its supposed to
work, if I use JSAPI do I need to rebuild the entire template?

I am also encountering the same problems with the sample:
sample_basic_jsapi.phtml.

Sorry to be spamming everyone,

Ken
