the current definition of the search reads all information from the XML file when the search is executed. You would need to modify the search.php and the functions getSearchParameters() and getSearchParamsPG() respectively to get your info from somewhere else. You could try to create a new class that inherits from XML_search and modify just the necessary parts and call this one instead of the original in query.php (it's the line $search = new XML_search($_SESSION['PM_SEARCH_CONFIGFILE']);)
You will need to dive quite deep into the logic of the attribute search of p.mapper in order to perform this, however... good luck ;-) armin samiazmi wrote: > Thanks Armin for the prompt reply, > > I am basically looking for attribute search on fields on postgis layers but > it should be a SQL query string that should be created dynamically according > to user requirements.
