[fusion-users] compatibility problems

[Nolte, Tim]

Mauricio,

Giving your explain and explaining that you modified the MapServer
source code does help me come up with a possible answer. One thing that
I do know for sure is that Fusion uses your mapfile as the basis for
creating a completely new temporary mapfile used for each new session.
Without delving into the Fusion mapfile rendering code, what I suspect
is that since you modified that MapServer code Fusion as a result is not
setup to handle these new keywords. I guess I post this question to you.
Why have you modified the MapServer source to add keywords instead of
using META data to add your customizations. This is what I've done and
really is what would be recommended in my opinion as to not break
things. I only pose this question as it seems like a lot of work to have
to change both MapServer and any front-end framework code any time there
is a new version.

Anyways, I suspect you'll want to look into the Fusion mapfile rendering
code to find why Fusion isn't showing your map.

	Hi Tim  thanks for answering...
	
	Sorry Tim,  I can't provide you my mapfile for one reason... If
you want to test my mapfile in your MapServer... Your  MapServer doesn't
detect my new keywords..because I modify MapServer source code for
adapting my new keywords.. 
	
	
	Before I explain you that I had developed a new keywords for
MapServer and I haven't had  problems for testing my keywords in a
simple HTML  application (mode CGI).. Only I have had problems with
Fusion 1.1.1 ..It doesn't show  my maps.. If I delete or comment (#) my
new keywords in the mapfile, Fusion show me the maps....
	
	My especific question is: Do I need to develop some PHP code  in
Fusion for detecting my new keywords? or it is not necessary
	
	
	
	
	Note: I refer a new keywords  for example (It is only a example)
	
	LAYER
	     NOTE
	        BNT 5

           INFO  HOLA 


	     END

		Hello Fusion users
		
		I have serious problem... Well really I have a big
doubt.. I hope you can help me
		
		My questions are:
		
		1.- Fusion 1.1.1  is compatible with new versions of
MapServer 5.4.0 or possible next versions? 
		
		2.-With what version of MapServer  is compatible Fusion
1.1.1? or no matter?
		
		3.-What happen if the mapserver developers add new
functions or keywords in the mapfile? Will Fusion detect or recognize?
Fusion continue to operate? or for every version of mapserver ,  Fusion
developer need to do implementations?
		
		
		I explain my before questions:  I develop a new keywords
for MapServer in the  mapfile.. and I dont have any problem for testing
my keywords in a simple HTML  application and mode CGI.. Only I have
problems with Fusion..It does not show me my maps.. If I delete or
comment my new keywords in the mapfile, Fusion show me the maps.... 
		
		.
		Thank you
		
		Mauricio
