style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m setting up a geomoose page that we will want to
link to specific areas of a feature layer such as a specific county and have
geomoose zoom directly to those when a user follows said link. I set up
the service and call it with the qitem and the qstring in the URL as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>…./moose/geomoose.html?call=zoom&qstring=Hennepin&qitem=COUNTYNAME
where ‘COUNTYNAME’ is the table column, ‘Hennepin’ is
the county from the table I want to zoom to and ‘zoom’ is the name
I gave the service. When using a shapefile, this works flawlessly.
However, when using POSTGIS and adjusting the qstring an qitem to match (case
included) the POSTGIS setup, I get nothing.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Looking at the url geomoose is calling to retrieve the
bounding coordinates for the zoom extent, I can narrow down the problem
specifically to the DATA source in my itemquery.map mapfile. Geomoose
calls the following url for the coordinates from the zoomto.php script.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>…./moose/php/zoomto.php?map=/web/gis/geomoose/1.6/data/itemquery.map&qstring=Hennepin&qitem=COUNTYNAME<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Using shapefile, this spits out the coordinates geomoose
needs. Switching my itemquery.map layer to PostGIS instead of shapefile
yields a response with no information or error.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My PostGIS data layer is drawing fine and I have identify
working just fine with it. My PostGIS DATA line in the mapfiles
(‘layername’.map, identify.map & itemquery.map) are all
the same:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>
DATA "the_geom from cty2000 using unique gid"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If my PostGIS line is altered (incorrectly), I receive an
error rather than a blank response which leads me to believe that PostGIS is
not giving the zoomto.php script what it needs to spit out coordinates. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone successfully used PostGIS with the
zoomto.php? If so, any help would be appreciated?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
