[Geomoose-users] Limit Identify Result

Mon Aug 10 23:20:43 EDT 2009

Thanks Dan. There is already a ticket for implementing this in MapServer
(Milestone 6.0?). We look forward to it.

To get this into GM I'll need to modify MapServer, at least if I want it
to work universally.

>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!

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.

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?

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
