[mapserver-users] Compatibility between mapserver versions: nquery issue

Hello,

A few years ago, I developed a web interface to access data 
(informations and download) through spatial queries. It was based on 
mapserver 5.2.0 but I would like to update my code to mapserver 6.2.0 
and I don't get how spatial queries are working nowadays.

As far as I understood, nquery mode is not supported anymore for URL 
templates (the error is "msReturnPage(): Web application error. 
Malformed template name") but I can't figure how it is supposed to work 
then.

On mapserver 5.2.0, a selection were made by drawing a rectangle and 
sending the query with:

<select name="mode" id="mode">
	<option id="search" value="browse" selected="selected" 
[browse_select]>Display</option>
	<option id="selection" value="nquery" onclick="document.jbox.boxon();" 
[nquery_select]>Selection</option>
</select>

The result was displayed through template files, with a table containing 
some informations for each object selected on each activated layer (one 
line per object).

If someone could give me some informations about the "new" way to obtain 
such a result, it would be great, because I am quite lost.

Many thanks,

Arthur
