Julien, I maked some changes. yes, my problem was that the layer was not a
POINT Layer. Now I will show you my changes. Now, the POINT layer appears in
the legend in the web page (it is set to "ON"), but it don´t appears drawn
in the map, and when I click the button it don´t appears drawn in the map.
My changes:
1)
You can remove that line though:
$this->mszCoords = $poLayer; -----------> I removed this line
2) The LandSat-modis layer should be a POINT layer with no DATA element: OK,
it is my new layer in the map file:
Now, the name is: "point-lat-lon" and I changed in the widget:
$poLayer = $this->moMapObject->oMap->getLayerByName('point-lat-lon');
LAYER
NAME "point-lat-lon"
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:4326"
END
TYPE POINT
STATUS ON
FEATURE
POINTS
-121 54
END
TEXT "My Place"
END
CLASS
COLOR 250 0 0
OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
SYMBOL "circle"
SIZE 10
LABEL
POSITION AUTO
COLOR 250 0 0
OUTLINECOLOR 255 255 255
END
END
END
3) I added in the map file "SYMBOL" later of "CONFIG "CGI_CONTEXT_URL" "1":
MAP
EXTENT -104 4 -57 27
FONTSET "../etc/fonts.txt"
IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255
IMAGETYPE jpeg
SYMBOLSET "../etc/symbols.sym"
SHAPEPATH "../data"
SIZE 750 375
STATUS ON
UNITS DD
NAME "GeoIntegrator"
CONFIG "CGI_CONTEXT_URL" "1"
SYMBOL
NAME "circle"
TYPE ELLIPSE
FILLED TRUE
POINTS
1 1
END
END
OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME jpeg
DRIVER GD/JPEG
MIMETYPE image/jpeg
EXTENSION jpg
IMAGEMODE RGB
END
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:4326"
END
LEGEND..............
My idea is set the "point-lat-lon" layer to Off in the map file and when I
click the button of the layer the status change to "ON" and draw the point
in the map. But I need first see that red point in the map with the status
"ON" to see it. All the layers in the map file are of "Central America", I
checked the latitude and longitude that I'm using in the widget and I see it
are Ok. It are from "Panama" and the lat/lon I'm proving seems ok.
Thank you again
Ines

Hi,
Everything seems right.
You can remove that line though:
$this->mszCoords = $poLayer;
When you click on the button, it should add a point in the LandSat-modis
layer. Few hints that may help you:
- The LandSat-modis layer should be a POINT layer with no DATA element.
- The LandSat-modis layer should have a CLASS and STYLE to be able to be
drawn correctly.
- Since you hardcoded it, the point will always be at the following
coordinates:
8.911825673734443, -79.41222265835958
- Is Lat/Lon is the projection of the mapfile and others layer? This may
be your problem. If the layer is not in the right projection, it won't
show correctly.
- You can send the LandSat-modis layer definition if you want so we can
check.
Hope that helps.
Julien
PS: Oh! and is the status of the layer is set to ON or DEFAULT?
