Subject: FeatureServer Question, thank's

Good afternoon,

   I'm Laura Garc?a, a software developer from a Spanish company. We 
work a lot with SIG, and in fact I try to make an example application 
with OpenLayers, FeatureServer and a PostGis BD. I've tried to config 
featureServer, but I can't see any result. I think I make some mistakes 
but I feel lost. I wanted to know if you could support me to get it.
Firstly, I'm sorry for my English mistakes and secondly I tell you what 
I do at the moment. I created my PostGis BD and a html page (very 
simple) whit openlayers. It was easy. But now, I don't know what i do to 
use FeatureServer.
   I config 'featureserver.cfg' file, I write somethin like this:

   [mylayer]
   type=PostGIS
   dsn=laguna
   layer=buzones
   fid=gid
   geometry=geom

and I modify another file:  ' /apache/conf/httpd.conf ', I add a new 
directory...
         <directory /featureserver/>
               addhandler cgi-script   .cgi
               options  +ExecCGI
         </directory>

I don't know if i have to make something wrong or if what i've modified 
is ok.

I'll thank you a lot, if you could help me,

thanks...

Laura.

Okay. If you go to
http://localhost/webdir/of/featureserver/featureserver.cgi/mylayer ,
what do you get?

Subject: [Featureserver] Can I have arbitrary HTML on top of the map?
Message-ID: <508155.30909.qm@web63908.mail.re1.yahoo.com>

I'd like to have something like this on top of an
OpenLayers map, and have it linked to locations.  Is
this possible?

<div>
  <img id="image1" src="..">
  <img id="next" onclick="loadNextImage1();" src="..">
  Lorem ipsum...
  <table>
    <tr>
      <td>a tiny bit more content</td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</div>

Basically, we're trying to implement a geographic
search interface.  You start with a map.  On the map
are some thumbnail images of things you can search
for.  Next to each icon is a "next" link which uses
asynchronous HTTP (AJAX) to load in a new image.  If
the map is dragged, these DIVs should move with the
map.

Is this possible with FeatureServer?  How difficult
would it be?

I saw this demo, which seems to indicate that it's
possible.

Subject: [Featureserver] PostGIS-backend-problems.
Message-ID: <20070621100443.3ff97568@thoe.hq.intevation.de>

Hello featureserver-users,

I have downloaded featureserver 1.03 and tried to set it up as CGI with
PostGIS as backend using the native PostGIS-driver (not OGR one).

The index.html-demo is used for my purposes. Trying to add points and
lines works flawsless, but Polygones would not get inserted unless I
added the attached diff. Since I am new to featureserver as well as to
python I like to ask if anybody has this problems as well?

Featureserver works really nice for quick edits though. Good work!

Best
	Stephan

Wow, I don't have a clue how we missed this. Clearly, the polygon code
never worked -- the last else statement there was meant to catch it, but
never did anything with the text it started to create.

I've applied a similar fix to the one you recommended, with the addition
of an exception when a geometry isn't created. This may mean that you
will bump into other cases where FeatureServer complains more loudly now
-- if this is the case, please let me know and I will fix them.

I've uploaded FS 1.05 to fix this issue. (And your name is in the
changelog.)

Thanks!

Subject: [Featureserver] OSM export broken in demo?
Message-ID: <20070622122225.0efbcce0@thoe.hq.intevation.de>

Hello featureservers,

I tried the demo on [1] to get the data into OSM-format, but
featureserver threw this error. It seems that there is some encoding
missing?

 An error occurred: 'ascii' codec can't encode character
u'\xe9' in position 5: ordinal not in range(128) File
"./FeatureServer/Server.py", line 206, in cgiHandler format, content =
service.dispatchRequest( params, path_info, host, post_data,
request_method ) File "./FeatureServer/Server.py", line 103, in
dispatchRequest return request.encode(response) File
"./FeatureServer/Service/OSM.py", line 11, in encode
results.append( self.encode_feature(i)) File
"./FeatureServer/Service/OSM.py", line 51, in encode_feature
tag.setAttribute("v", str(value))

Thanks for looking into this

Best

	Stephan

Fixed in the OSM service, and I've removed the ill-supported OSM link
from the main demos. When someone is ready to take over maintenance of
that file, I'll help them get set up and put the link back in.
