[Geomoose-users] Searches

[Nelson Soto]

I have found that in order to achieve what you are asking, you first
must get a search functioning correctly from tab. I have done this but I
have to replicate the functions that create a tab and basically
associate the tab 'onclick' event with the code to start the search
service. I haven't had any other good ideas how to do this... If you
have a better way to get one Search working via tab that is cleaner than
this, I'd love to hear it!!!!

 

Provided you have a method of applying a search via custom tab, this is
the Service definition I used:

 

<service title="Search" selectable="false" default="false" locked="true"
div="content_search">

      <url>/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe</url>

      <input type="hidden" name="map"
value="/ms4w/apps/GeoMOOSE/maps_medwaydemo/itemquery.map"/>

      <input type="hidden" name="mode" value="nquery"/>

      <input type="hidden" name="layer" value="ParcelsOwnerSearch"/>

      <input type="hidden" name="layer2" value="ParcelsAddressSearch"/>

      <input type="user" name="id1" title="Zoom to Owner:"/>

      <input type="user" name="id2" title="Zoom to Address:"/>

</service>

 

It's important to note that I don't think 'layer' and 'layer2' pass
through but this was initial code and needed revising.

 

You need a div to correspond to the service... so in the html you create
a div along the lines of...

 

<div id="content_search" class="hiddenPanel">

<font color="black"><b>Search for Parcels by Owner Name:</b></font><br/>

<input name="id1"/><input type="submit" value="Search"/>

<input type="hidden" name="map"
value="/ms4w/apps/GeoMOOSE/maps_medwaydemo/itemquery.map"/>

<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="nquery"/>

      <br/><i>Enter part of Owner Name (contains search).</i><br/><br/>

                        

<font color="black"><b>Search for Parcel by Address:</b></font><br/>

<input name="id2"/><input type="submit" value="Search"/>

<input type="hidden" name="map"
value="/ms4w/apps/GeoMOOSE/maps_medwaydemo/itemquery.map"/>

<input type="hidden" name="mode" value="nquery"/>

<br/><i>Enter part of Address (contains search).</i> 

</div>

 

Of course, your itemquery.map must contain the searches you would like
to use...

 

This is basically what is required in my experience. It seems this is a
feature with 1.6 and for that I am VERY THANKFUL!

 

The way this implementation works is by basically querying both boxes
against the appropriate query and so it is not the most efficient. I
look forward the the 1.6 implementation.

At our last meeting there was talk regarding having the ability to do
different searches from the same search tab.

 

Has anyone got this working yet?

 

I assume that this is possible in 1.6?  If this is possible what are the
steps to get it working?

 

Any examples yet?

 

Thanks again guys....
