[Geomoose-users] Search based on lat/lon layer

[Jim Klassen]

Did you see/read/try Steve's comment in the trac entry?

Jim,

  Looks like your patch will do the trick for the future.  I'm trying to use a "stock" mapserver for this implementation (v5.2.1 from MS4W), and stay off the GeoMoose v2.0 Beta (with OpenLayers) bleeding edge, so I'll likely enhance the GeoMoose javascript...

Thanks!
Brent

Unfortunately, Mapserver's shpminx/shpmaxx/shpminx/shpmaxx template values return the shape extents in the layer's coordinate system, not the map coordinate system, so the GeoMoose Map.zoomToViewString call in the itemquery template does not work.
