Re: [mapserver-users] MapServer 6.2.0 beta3 release

[thomas bonfort]

Mac Homebrew users can test this beta by running:

brew install 
https://raw.github.com/mapserver/packaging/master/homebrew/mapserver.rb

This installer is in it's early days, any feedback more than welcome.

Re: [mapserver-users] MODE=legendicon & GROUP Layers

[Andrew Cowie]

Thanks for the info Steve, that makes sense - when Groups are used to link
related layers things get too ambiguous. We'll look at our options with
this one.

Cheers

Andrew

Re: [mapserver-users] MODE=legendicon & GROUP Layers

[Andrew Cowie]

Certainly our mapfiles stay fairly static once we've set them up. Thanks for 
the suggestion, will have a look at trying it out.

Cheers

Subject: RE: MODE=legendicon & GROUP Layers

All,

I’ve gotten around this in the past by using dummy layers specifically for 
Legend Creation.  You have complete control over the legend this way and can 
mix and match data sources however is required without needing to actually map 
the data out.  It is more work overall, but if your MapFiles don’t change 
often, it’s usually a one time setup thing.

I have a few map layers that have 7 or 8 different thresholds for display set 
MIN/MAXSCALEDENOMs and they all get a dummy layer that displays the same thing 
for all thresholds.

Subject: [mapserver-users] MODE=legendicon & GROUP Layers

Hello list

Wondering if anyone can help…

We have been utilising the legendicon mode to create a custom legend in our 
application, however some recent work to try and speed up our WMS has reworked 
our mapfiles slightly, making use of GROUP LAYERs to group almost identical 
LAYERs together, the only difference in the LAYERs being MAX & MINSCALEDENOM 
and the DATA request string to our PostGIS database – hitting a generalised 
version of the geometry at smaller scales.

LAYER
NAME 'lri_luc_main_gen_500k'
GROUP 'lri_luc_main'
DATA 'the_geom_gen_500k FROM "data"."lri" USING UNIQUE gid 
USING srid=2193'
INCLUDE 'includes/lri_luc_main_layer.inc'
MINSCALEDENOM 251001
END
LAYER
NAME 'lri_luc_main_full'
GROUP 'lri_luc_main'
DATA 'the_geom FROM "data"."lri" USING UNIQUE gid USING 
srid=2193'
INCLUDE 'includes/lri_luc_main_layer.inc'
MAXSCALEDENOM 251000
MINSCALEDENOM 15000
END

The request for the legend icon is of the form:

http:///cgi-bin/mapserv.fcgi?FORMAT=image/gif&MAP=lri.map&MODE=legendicon&ICON=lri_luc_main,1

This worked fine before we started using GROUPs, however now we now encounter 
the error:

mapserv(): Web application error. Icon layer=lri_luc_main not found in map file.

Does the legendicon mode work with GROUP layers?
If not, is there a way round this?

Or alternatively, perhaps there is a better way to request a generalised 
version of the geometry that doesn't involve GROUP LAYERs?

Any help or suggestions much appreciated.

Many thanks

Andrew
