[Chameleon] Add layers drawing points (circles) with latitude and longitude

[Ines]

Normand, thank you very very much for your help. I created successfully my
new widget!!! I'm very happy really.

Now, I need to add descriptions in the widget to display as a list, drop
down list or something to continue with my work. I'm making the steps that
Julien tell me to do it.

I have my widget and I have the layer ready. Now I need to know how to do
this:

1) display the descriptions in the widgets
2) set the EXPRESSION and status of the layer in the
mapfile with the description column value


In this mail (below) I explain what I have to do.


Thank you very much again

Ines

Hello,
There's no widget that do exactly that I think, but creating a new one
would be easy. I suggest you add a layer in your mapfile to display this
information. You can create widget that will display the descriptions
and once done will set the EXPRESSION and status of the layer in the
mapfile with the description column value.

Check this link to create your own widget:
