Stefan,
So, meanwhile I have this definition:
LAYER
NAME bg_shape
CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
CONNECTION 'user=xxx password=xxx dbname=xxx'
TYPE POLYGON
DATA 'the_geom FROM countries_regions_view USING UNIQUE id USING
srid=-1'
CLASSITEM 'reg_name'
You definitely don't need a CLASSITEM when you use "logical" expressions
which directly reference some fields or attributes of your underlying
dataset, as you're doing. So, it's better to leave this one away.
CLASS
NAME ''
EXPRESSION ([reg_name] ne 'Africa')
Don't forget to put quotes around [reg_name]. Aren't you trying to do a
string comparison between the value of reg_name and "Africa"? Well, then
you'll need them as Mapserver simply replaces [reg_name] with it's
actual value before evaluating the expression.
So, I suggest giving a try to somewhat like this:
EXPRESSION ('[reg_name]' ne 'Africa')
OUTLINECOLOR 230 230 230
COLOR 230 230 230
END
END
and attached is a screenshot of the view.
Best regards,
Andreas
