Dear MapServer Users,
Please disregard this inquiry. I since found the problem in my CGI file.
I was using MapServer 5.2.0 in one place but accidentally still calling
MapServer 4.99 in another, thus causing the discrepancy in how I needed
to reference parameters in my map file. Still, though, I wonder why
MapServer >5.0 didn't retain the ability to reference parameters in a
hierarchy like "map_scalebar_size" since now I have to go back and
change all of these references in my code to "map_scalebar=size+value"??
Unfortunately, this change makes things so they are not backwards
compatible.
Cheers,
John

Dear MapServer Users,
Prior to MapServer 5.0, I could set the map scalebar size and
intervals using CGI variables named "map_scalebar_size" and
"map_scalebar_intervals". After upgrading to 5.2.0, however, these
variables are no longer recognized; I get an error saying
"loadScalebar(): Unknown identifier". Is it true that we can no longer
reference map settings in this fashion? When I change these variables
to "map_scalebar=size+value+intervals+value" it works, but this no
longer fills in my template variables [map_scalebar_size] and
[map_scalebar_intervals]. If I try using a template variable with
[map_scalebar] instead, the value (e.g.
"size+width+height+intervals+value") doesn't seem to be interpreted by
MapServer since the scalebar settings never get subsequently modified.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any insights!
Cheers,
