[mapserver-users] GetFeatureInfo - get wms_title

Hi, I use INFO_FORMAT=gml for a GetFeatureInfo request. It works, but I would like to get the wms_title instead of the layers name. In the UI people are seeing the title not the name. Showing the name of a layer is useless in our context. Is it possible to retreive the wms_title if it exists?

/usr/local/src/gdal-1.5.3/libtool: line 809: g++: command not found You need to install g++ BTW, why not try and compile the latest GDAL version, since you are compiling from source anyway? The 1.5.3 release is quite dated. Alex On Wed, Dec 15, 2010 at 11:03 AM, qazi iqbal

Ian, For future QGIS-related questions, QGIS user's list email address is here: qgis-u...@lists.osgeo.org To import a delimited text file, there is a plugin called Add Delimited Text Layer. It can then be saved to a shapefile by right-clicking on it in the list of Layers on the left.

Re: [mapserver-users] GetFeatureInfo - get wms_title

Hi daniel, It seems that only the parameter NAME of the LAYER key is used by getFeatureInfo. the wms_name of the METADATA is not used. I tried to set wms_layername in the METADATA but I get an error and no response. I tried with wms_layer_name and the query's result still returns LAYER NAME

Re: [mapserver-users] GetFeatureInfo - get wms_title

wms_layername works. the given name should not have spaces in it. Otherwise the MGL is not valid. Steve Daniel Morissette dmorisse...@mapgears.com@lists.osgeo.org Envoyé par : mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org 2010-12-15 12:16 A mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org cc Objet Re:

[mapserver-users] symbolizing polygon outlines

Is there a way of symbolizing a polygon outline other than with OUTLINECOLOR? I would like to create a complex dashed line but it seems that polygons do not support that. Any suggestions? === David V. Hildebrand Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (403) 782-8239

Re: [mapserver-users] symbolizing polygon outlines

David, One technique is to render the polygon data twice; once as TYPE POLYGON to render the fill, and again as TYPE LINE to render the polygon outline as a dashed line. You can use the same polygon data file for each. If you name the layers the same, they'll turn on/off together. Best
