[maplab-users] Mapserver + MapLab + PostGIS

[Philipp Jacob]

Hi list,

I have a problem concerning PostGIS support in Mapserver when I edit a 
mapfile with MapLab.
I set up a demo map with PostgreSQL/PostGIS data in Mapserver by hand, 
and everything works fine.
But when I try to build a mapfile with MapLab problems occur.

1) Trying to preview the map with MapBrowser brings up a blank map in 
the ROSA Applet (and a 'broken image'
with html output). No error messages appear.
2) Trying to select a 'Classitem' in the LAYER Section produces the 
following error:
"Fatal error: MapServer Error in msPOSTGISLayerOpen(): 
msPOSTGISLayerOpen called but unimplemented!
in /srv/www/htdocs/maplab/htdocs/common/picker/shape_file_attr.php on 
line 127"

The mapfile generated by MapLab:
(which is mainly identical with the 'hand made' mapfile)

MAP
  NAME "demo_with_postgis"
  STATUS ON
  EXTENT 186063 239645 223468 266328
  SIZE 700 500
  IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255
  UNITS METERS
  WEB
    IMAGEPATH "/srv/www/htdocs/tmp/"
    IMAGEURL "/tmp/"
  END
  LAYER
    NAME "wege"
    STATUS ON
    DATA "the_geom from wege"
    TYPE LINE
    CONNECTIONTYPE POSTGIS
    CONNECTION "user=wwwrun dbname=test host=192.168.17.5 port=5432"
    CLASS
      NAME "wege"
      SYMBOL 0
      COLOR 255 0 0
      SIZE 1
      MINSIZE 1
      MAXSIZE 100
    END
  END
END


Any ideas on how to deal with that?

Tanks in advance
Philipp
