<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head><body><div>Hello Jeff,</div><div> To be honest I had some time to use map server and I also saw that the map server plugin is not available to the new qgis versions. I personally took some old map files I had (which were generated by that plugin) and started maintaining them and improving them by adding some parameters from documentation and other map file templates. The 1.8 version for sure has that very useful plugin you mention and whoever has that version is "lucky" as it is not available in the official qgis site at least the last time I checked. </div><div><br></div><div>PS. Whoever needs that version there is a copy in my hard drive :)</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto">Enviado desde mi smartphone Samsung Galaxy.</div></div><div><br></div><div style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"><!-- originalMessage --><div>-------- Mensaje original --------</div><div>De: Jeff McKenna <jmckenna@gatewaygeomatics.com> </div><div>Fecha: 18/9/17 16:04 (GMT+02:00) </div><div>Para: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org </div><div>Asunto: Re: [mapserver-users] map server error message loadSymbol(): Unknown identifier.

I am not aware of a plugin that works with recent <br>QGIS.<br><br>(I keep a running QGIS 1.8 here, just to have a working and reliable <br>"QGIS mapfile export" tool. I more recent "RT Mapfile Export" plugin is <br>not being maintained.<br><br>However please let me know if I am incorrect.<br><br>-jeff<br><br><br><br>-- <br>Jeff McKenna<br>MapServer Consulting and Training Services<br>http://www.gatewaygeomatics.com/<br><br><br><br>On 2017-09-18 5:34 AM, e.arapostathis wrote:<br>> Thank you<br>> <br>> I have resolved it.<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> Enviado desde mi smartphone Samsung Galaxy.<br>> <br>> -------- Mensaje original --------<br>> De: Havard Tveite <havard.tveite@nmbu.no><br>> Fecha: 18/9/17 9:49 (GMT+02:00)<br>> Para: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org<br>> Asunto: Re: [mapserver-users] map server error message loadSymbol(): <br>> Unknown identifier.
