[Chameleon] LOCATE Widget

[Delfos, Jacob]

Brian,

I created a widget that does that, but it only works with shapefiles at this
stage. The reason was that I required to know how many objects there are,
and that I only knew how to do that for a shapefile. But perhaps you could
adjust that side of it. The widget allows you to specify which attributes of
which layers are searcheable, creates an iframe with comboboxes for the
layer and attributes, and a searchbox. It shows a list of the searchresults
(with zoom-to links). It works, but it is not thoroughly tested, though.

Let me know if you want me to send you the code.

Regards,

Jacob

Subject: [Chameleon] LOCATE Widget

What I would like to do is search for attributes in a PostGIS database, 
present potential matches, then zoom to a selected record. I am a 
beginner with PHP, and I was wondering if anyone had any code samples 
and documentation for customizing the LOCATE widget. Another option 
would be a custom widget that is not based on the LOCATE widget. I've 
been staring at code for hours and trying different things, but not 
getting very far. A push in the right direction would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Brian
