We've attacked this problem here a little differently. The idea was to set up a location (per data custodian) to overwrite a previously set up and configured SHP file for web publication.
Basically we go to the trouble of setting up things ahead of time for stylization and symbology and once that's in place, the data custodian updates the data by simply replacing the SHP file for publishing. Pushing any old layer up to the server has some disadvantages (in our system) with regard to integrating the new data with the existing data stores. There is also a learning curve associated with the initial stylization steps to some degree. However, I'm still interested in the approach you describe, and how to set up an environment to manage (to some degree) the publishing process that still allows the data custodian as much freedom as possible to get their business tasks streamlined. bobb >>> kevin_t <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/02/08 2:06 PM >>> I like to set it up so that people can upload shapefiles from their computer to my mapguide map and have it immediately add it as a layer to my map and show up on screen immediately. Does anybody know how to implement this functionality? Or know where to download one that works? I have inherited customization in PHP code that does this but it's not working and I am unable to fix it. The map is located at: http://204.244.79.12/mapguide2009/uploadshp/canada_frameset.php Under Tasks on the right > Upload Shapefile Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Uploading-Shapefile-to-Map-for-Immediate-Display-Problem-tp1605726p1605726.html Sent from the MapGuide Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users _______________________________________________ mapguide-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapguide-users
