[Mapserver-users] selection hilite_ basic question

Fri May 28 02:02:23 EDT 2004

I made working map example a bit modified to see my own maps.
(on Win2000 and IIS)
Then added to query layer definition:
TEMPLATE 'C:\bla\path\mapTemplate.html'
that was the same template, that I was using for that working exapmle.
Then by changing in url parameters &mode=itemquery
and adding
&qlayer=layername&qitem=atribFieldName&qstring=aquerystrng&mapext=shapes
It worked well.

Now I just have to add a search control in my map template file

Hi Steve and List,
I am pretty new and unexperienced to the MS, it might be a stupid quest...
anyway, I got the demo running, changed some layers, but when selecting a
polygon via itemquery I am not sure. I can do an attribut search and also
get  results via template [area] [name]  yet no map. I know I can get a map
via querymap, but could not go any further on this.
I dont know how to build up an template with a map,  including the selected
polygon marked and in the centre of the map....
 As the where any examples I would be happy.
As you have any hints, please remember, I am a Geographer and low level
programmer.
Thanks a lot.

Andreas

PS. Another question is, is there a list of the complete template and map
commands, I got the feeling there are some more commands, than I could find
via the Mapserver homepage.

Thanks anyway to the great developers of mapserver
