[mapserver-users] Tool for configure mapfile

2010-11-03 Thread Julian Wiersbitzki
Hi! Is there a good tool (besides Emacs, vi, etc.pp.) for configuring a mapfile? Our mapfile gets bigger and bigger and it's getting very unhandlich. ;-) Perhaps there is already a faq for this? TIA, Julian __ Hamburger Berater Team

I use Textpad for editing mapfiles. It has some syntax highlighting. INCLUDE's could be used to avoid very big files but debugging could be a bit harder. Frode 3. nov.. 2010 08.26 Julian Wiersbitzki j...@hbt.de: Hi! Is there a good tool (besides Emacs, vi, etc.pp.) for configuring a mapfile?

This would be a good thing. That way, if you would zoom in to a location very quickly, you would also not have to wait for mapserver to render the outer zooms first (where you clicked through quite fast), but you would get your data first and the data you don't need anymore later. But i suppose

All, One of the design features of GeoMoose was to allow for abstracting out each layer to it's own MapFile. Each layer has it's own Mapfile. This was done primarily to allow owners of data to stylize their respective datasets on their own with out affecting each other work. A side benefit

[mapserver-users] Filter elements on multiple layers

Hey, I have a problem with filtering elements of multiple layers. My mapserver (version 5.2.1) is configured with two layers - layer1 and layer2. For better understanding see attachment: layer1 has black crosses and layer2 has red points. Now I try to get features by id - but I don't know the

Hmm, I just tested this--it seems that you'd always get features where the envelopes for the results from each layer spatially intersect, (i.e. anything within the blue rectangle of your image). Alex On Wed, Nov 3, 2010 at 11:37 AM, Alexander Petkov green...@gmail.com wrote: You might have to

Basically what I do is copy and rename mapserv.exe to some name I want in the URL. Then, if a request goes to that file, set the MS_MAPFILE variable to the relevant map file. This has worked well for me so far. For example, my organization recently published our 15th geologic map of out state.

John, Puneet, Being able to leave the .exe extension off in Windows is new to me and medium cool. Based on some rather foggy recollection, I think that it is limited to Apache. I don't think it works under IIS. But it's handy if you're developing on Windows and serving on *NIX. I'm kind of with
