Heh, that's because I've ommited the name=xmin part from the input fields :) So you can either add to each input field the name so that it is propagated through the request, or, if you're not really in a hurry, you can wait for me to also add Geoff's code that makes the selection click order irrelevant.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] PostGIS update @ Landcover-DB
Hi Geoff, Martin, and thus assume the lightmap/?lon=... URL does in fact point to this index.php, or something like it... but maybe this is not right ;=((. In fact it is clear there are some differences, but the source of 'lightmap' was not included in git... Yeah, the small map is not on git, but I asume it's pretty similar to the large one. About the input fields obscuring the map, they may be changed easily into type=hidden, I only left them as text for debugging and testing. The download button is pretty unobtrusive by itself. Of course the action calling download.psp should set the values, and inside download.psp need to get these values and fill in each of the 4 sets... 1:Individual, 2:CS, 3:CLS and 4:OSM for the user... The coordinates sent by the POST request can be used in download.psp to fill the fields automatically, of course. That was the intent, at least. (2) After the two mouse clicks, and the 4 values correctly filled in, but the yellow/red bounding box outline has the correct width but has only 1 or 2 pixel height, positioned at the 2nd click location... if the 1st click was in the upper left, and the 2nd in the lower right. If the first click was in the lower left, and the 2nd in upper right, this yellow/red outlined box is drawn with the correct height, but a width of only 1-2 pixels, at the location of the 1st click... etc... Yeah, that's why I left the comment in the merge request about selecting from lower left to upper right. An OpenLayers thing, values can be swapped at will of course. except do not understand or see the need for the 'click' event on this 'box'... Click event could be used in the future to get rid of the download button by auto submitting the form. Or could be removed :) Cheers, adrian -- Ridiculously easy VDI.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] PostGIS update @ Landcover-DB
Hi Adrian, Thanks for your reply... About the input fields obscuring the map, they may be changed easily into type=hidden, I only left them as text for debugging and testing. The download button is pretty unobtrusive by itself. No, I do NOT think they should be hidden! After the user has used the mouse selection, [s]he may choose to modify the fields, say rounding them, etc, which would be difficult, impossible with the mouse, so I think they should stay... even enhanced with labels to say what they are... So why not use the right side of the table for this? They could be set vertically, with labels, to keep the right side narrow, if that is a concern... It would seem unnecessary, and CONFUSING, to have TWO visible [download buttons], one _ON_ the map and one to the right, no? And I think we should accept mouse clicks in ANY order, or place, and adjust left - right, top - bottom to ensure they are always in correct order... Concerning the faulty drawing of the bounding box on the map after 2 clicks, I can now see it is OK if I click lower left first, and then upper right ;=() But as suggested a few lines of script should 'fix' this order of things... and not push the user to 'remember' to follow a strict rule ;=)) And maybe the click event on this user selected bounding box should be commented out, until there is a real need for it...

Re: [Flightgear-devel] PostGIS update @ Landcover-DB
Hi Adrian,
This seems to do the swapping trick ;=))
if(box_extents.length==4) {
var tmp;
if (box_extents[0] box_extents[2]) {
tmp = box_extents[0];
box_extents[0] = box_extents[2];
box_extents[2] = tmp;
}
if (box_extents[1] box_extents[3]) {
tmp = box_extents[1];
box_extents[1] = box_extents[3];
box_extents[3] = tmp;
}
Now I get a bounding box drawn no matter what
order, location I click in first, second...
Cheers,
Geoff.

Hi Martin, Re: CLC2000v13 CLC is CORINE Land Cover, a project of the EEA, the European Environmental Agency and therefore covers Europe only. I have to admit that the error message is a bit misleading and will try to imagine a more appropriate report. Yes, the page already clearly says use reasonable coordinates in order to avoid nasty error messages., and a 404 error is certainly quite nasty ;=)) as well as misleading... Maybe you could add to the web page - Do not be stupid enough to request say the area around YGIL in say the CLC2000v13 (CORINE) dataset!... And hopefully politely give an error like - coordinates used are out of dataset range, Dummy! I tried this again with a 4x4 around LFPZ N 50 S 46 W 0 E 4, and got an 82MB zip, which expanded to 106MB, 128 files, 32 shapefiles, and all looks fine... thanks... Re: OpenStreetMap ... BUT contains just one file, COPYING??? Mmmmh, I have to admit this sounds like a bug. I'll check. Might/should be working now, at least my own test was successful, Ok, tried my YGIL again, N -29 S -33 W 146 E 150, and while the 1.4MB zip again still included the COPYING file, also got 16 osm_ shapefiles, total 65 files... so this looks good... So all appears good on the web page downloading ;=)) As stated, have yet to got around to testing 'programmed' downloading, but will soonest... and yell if there is a problem...

The TG tool shpdump does a nice job of showing all the coordinates, but it is not 'graphical'...

So I got problems just with (b) CLC2000v13 and (c) OpenStreetMap...

This programmed URL downloading is the method I use normally, usually from within a script/program, and this worked fine on my last downloads a week or so back...

And many that do sometimes use other data sources... with more detail... especially since the 'swirlies' rendering bug appears FIXED with the new BTG versions... But this could/should change as 'easier' TG tool building methods get around, and more is done on GUI scenery building tools... must find the time to continue my efforts in this regard ;=)) Everybody, and their dog, at least 'speak' frequently about the 850 apt data, with its curved taxiways...

Hi Geoff, thanks for extensive testing. Just a few, short comments, as our little son is about to board his bed Geoff McLane wrote: Just tried a 4x4 degrees around YGIL - N -29, S -33, W 146, E 150 [...] (b) CLC2000v13 - got a 404 error - Not Found The requested URL /download/1e82c1e0-6193-47d1-8af4-692aa2b30017.zip was not found on this server. CLC is CORINE Land Cover, a project of the EEA, the European Environmental Agency and therefore covers Europe only. I have to admit that the error message is a bit misleading and will try to imagine a more appropriate report. (c) OpenStreetMap - appeared to work fine... a zip downloaded and appeared valid... BUT contains just one file, COPYING??? Mmmmh, I have to admit this sounds like a bug. I'll check.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] PostGIS update @ Landcover-DB
Most of Scenemodels should be up and running. Please test, if you like. Most of MapServer should be working again as well, at least in testing mode. I had to patch the MapServer map renderer in order to be conformant with the PostGIS 2.x SQL syntax constraints, but I'm not sure wether I've caught all issues. Feedback is welcome. Shapefile download is still broken, I'll try to fix as soon as time permits. Cheers, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- -- Write once.

[Flightgear-devel] PostGIS update @ Landcover-DB
I'm planning to update our Landcover-DB, the PostgreSQL/PostGIS database behind our MapServer and Scenemodels web sites to PostGIS 2.x (actually SVN trunk) over the next days. This procedure involves a little bit of schema mangling and, even though I did a couple of tests over the last months, I didn't have a test case that big (just the landcover DB, including indices, is more than 300 GByte in size). If everything works as expected, the transition will be completed by the end of this year at latest. During the first phase of transition (dumping the databases) writes to the DB will be prohibited. Afterwards the entire DB will be offline until all tables, indices and constraints are restored. I'll be posting a short comment on the current state on the mapserver. and scenemodels.flightgear.org web sites and Olivier will provide the required information on The Forum.
