Hi, p.mapper is great - and I am experimenting for quite a while but didn't found out how exactly to define a search funktion in the search.xml file using PostGIS; the examples show the connection without sending a username and password.
e.g.: Database name ist testdb Tablename is testfile Username is testperson Password is testpassword and I would like to select all the geometries where the field NAME is <searchstring> Here is your example where I have tried to fill this informations in, but I failed - I would simply like to establish a connection but did not know how to handle username and password (since the XML file is open to the public I could/would not include it here): <searchitem name="testsearch" description="Only a test"> <layer type="postgis" name="testfile"> <field type="s" name="name" description="City" wildcard="2"> <definition type="suggest" connectiontype="db" sort="asc" minlength="1" dependfld="cmcncd"> <dsn encoding="UTF-8">pgsql:// postgres:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/testdb</dsn> <sql>SELECT DISTINCT name FROM testtfile WHERE name ~* '^[search]' ORDER BY name</sql> </definition> </field> </layer> </searchitem> As far as I understand I don't need the suggest type in my case instead of receiving the results immediately at the map. So the most simple example how to write a request with PostGIS would be appreciated! Thanks for your help!
