[Geomoose-users] Limit Identify Result

[Jessica Fendos]

Dan:
 
Sorry if I put you on a hot spot. I was hoping this feature would be
added to GeoMoose. The mapping interface will not be too demanding
except I have to limit query result. It sounds like I am really pushing
it for this time frame. Would you consider adding this feature in 2.0
(or 2.0.1) when it is convenient to you in the near future (does not
have to be before 8/14)? Thank you!

Are you saying you would need this feature added to GeoMOOSE by August
14th? Or are you saying you need assistance setting up GeoMOOSE for the
State Fair booth? 

It might be a possibility for me to write the feature into GM2.0 by the
14th but probably not GM1.6 (as GM2.0 actually has an identify service
using PHP, so there is more control).

It will be of value to entities dealing with "licensed" data. Actually,
I was going to use GeoMoose to display green career opportunities at the
coming State Fair Green Career booth organized by the Department of
Employment and Economic Development -- showing "green" educational
programs and industries.  If it is not too much trouble, would you
consider? However, the deadline is August 14th. If you are busy at this
time, we can always use GeoMoose next time when appropriate. Thank you
either way. 
 
Best,
Jessica

This the first request for the feature that I've heard, so no, it's not
implemented.  It wouldn't be a difficult add-on to either GM1.6.X or
GM2.0 ... shall I consider the option officially requested?

Thanks Dan for the quick response. I know GeoMoose 2.0 is built on
MapServer and OpenLayers. Will 2.0 take care of identify limit at this
time? Appreciate your time!

That add-on is something chameleon implemented.  For identify
functionality GeoMOOSE 1.6.X uses MapServer directly, so if it's not a
native-MapServer supported function it will not work with GeoMOOSE
1.6.X

Thanks Brent:
 
I was able to limit the identify result using this metadata tag in
Chameleon (another add-on to MapServer) so was hoping I can do the same
in GeoMoose.... Suggestions anyone?

Jessica,

   I don't think "query_limit" has been implemented in Mapserver yet 
(http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/2424).  The only option I can
think of 
is to do some PHP (or other scripting language) programming, similar to
GM's 
select.php and limit the returned results there.

   But you might want to ask the question on the Mapserver-users email
list.

Best Regards,
Brent Fraser
