[Chameleon] Locate widget

[Jacob Delfos]

Hi Gail,

I think you're not the first one to have tried doing that, and run into the same problem. I definitely did myself a while ago.

I don't believe that popplace.dbf is accessed at all by that widget, but I could be wrong. It gets its geographic information from a remote server. It may therefore not be too suitable for what you're trying to do.

You could try the "LocateByAttribute" widget. This allows you to search on the attributes of an object. You could add a layer with placenames to search on.

regards,

Jacob

Dear List,

 

I am trying to get the Locate widget to work in Chameleon. I have put the gazetteer information in the same format as the original popplace.dbf file and kept the name the same. The popplace.dbf is in the directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\chameleon\htdocs\common\phpgeocoder\services and also in the directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\chameleon\jisc\data. The locate widget in the map client is working but not for the UK coverage it jumps across to Canada still, therefore it seems like the new popplace.dbf file I created for the UK is not being read by the client.

 

Is there some place else I should be changing? Or do I need to edit one of the php files in the phpgeocoder directory? Any information about customising the locate widget I would appreciate.

 

Kind Regards

 

Gail
