Re: [mapguide-users] How to invoke URL?

[Andrew DeMerchant]

I think that you're all misunderstanding his question - he's asking about InvokeURL, which works fine in Fusion....unless it's been broken with the release of the last version. I've used InvokeURL quite a lot, myself...Now, as for how to use it; Value should be $CurrentSelection, yes. If you need to actually pull out data from a table and pass that to a web page, that's a bit more involved, but not bad. Check Nabble for info - look for PassData.php or posts by me.

You would need to put in a value from your feature data into the URL activated _expression_. Build an _expression_ like  concat('/app/DataPullPage.aspx?date=', ToDate ( "AddedDate" ) ) where app os the virtual directory or application directory on your web-server and DataPullPage.aspx (or .php) is the page you want data to show in the task panel. and AddedDate is a Date field in your feature attribute table of the data you are displaying. When you move you mouse over, there should be a yellow tool-tip saying press Cntrl+Click to open URL for this feature. If a user does that, the parameter is passed to your page with the value from your attribute table. You make the page then spit out whatever you need it to based on what you want your program to do with the feature. Pulling data out of a selected set is a bit labor intensive, and requires some good _javascript_ understanding. But Do-able.

The result is like that: http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx/app?date=%24CurrentSelection What is the meaning - %24CurrentSelection?
