[ka-Map-users] query in ka-map with mapserver

Wed Dec 23 09:24:31 EST 2009

Hi,

according to
http://ka-map.ominiverdi.org/wiki/index.php/Query
http://ka-map.ominiverdi.org/wiki/index.php/Mapfile_Metadata_Configuration
you need

METADATA
 "queryable" "true"
 "fields" "A:alias_A, B:alias_B, C:alias_C" # the selected fields
will be displayed on the left panel with alias names
END

in a layer. and you also need to make template.html for the layer

#---------------template.html-----------------#
<!-- MapServer Template -->
<html>
 <head><title>Global Template</title></head>
 <body>
       <li> [A]
       <li> [B]
       <li> [C]
 </body>
</html>
#---------------template.html end---------------#

and, put TEMPLATE in CLASS

CLASS
# skip #
 TEMPLATE template.html
# skip #
END

I remember  is necessary.

2. You need to entirely include the polygon with the rectangle

3. My understanding is that when query is successful, MS_SUCCESS will
be returned as the value of 1
http://mapserver.org/mapscript/php/index.html
map_query_float.php, first getResult($a) should be changed to
getResult(0) for multiple layer queries.

I hope this helps,
