Using Identify with Postgis layer<br></font><div><div><br><div>Hi list,<br><br>I came across GeoMoose through a university project to create a mapping server. I've managed to get it working fairly well with Mapserver and PostGIS data (and looking good, thanks!), but I was just wondering whether anyone has used "Identify" with PostGIS layers. I have followed the instructions <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.geomoose.org/wiki/index.php/Setup_guide#Get_Identify_to_work_-_Make_sure_identify_will_work.when_you_identify_a_feature_any_visible_shape_file_or_WMS_will_display_those_attributes_in_the_table_of_contents." target="_blank">here</a>, but I think these were written for Shapefiles, as I just get the text "[FEATURE_NAME]" in the resulting HTML rather than the actual feature selected name. This is also true if I put "[feature_name from table_name]" as per how fields are defined in the Mapserver DATA field.<br>
<br> Any help much appreciated.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Steve <br>
