[Geomoose-users] FW: Unable to implement select feature service

[Lin, Joyce]

Jim,


Thanks a lot for your help. I was able to view my layer when I had layer source as "Data/Lease/Lease" just that all my services besides "Identify" didn't work. (Identify worked, but got error when trying to generate report, the error was Error: Unable to load php/feature_report.php status:500
                               _28d()dojo.js (line 14)
                               _286/func()dojo.js (line 14)
                               _286()

here is what I just did for fixing the select feature service:

1.       I just set up firebug and found out that the service was looking for my lease folder under C:\ms4sw\apps\geomoose2\maps.

2.       I then move the whole "Data" folder under "C:\ms4sw\apps\geomoose2\maps\" and modify the "mapbook.xml" for proper path.

3.       The layer show up find and the select service seems to go one step further: It returned as "no feature found" even I am sure there should be something.

4.       The mapfile that generated for the select service in ms_tmp indicated the projection  as
                PROJECTION
                                '+init=epsg:4326'
                END
                My initial projection for the layer was 'init=epsg:32040', the mapbook.xml projection was EPSG:3857

Do you have any advice?

Thanks for any inputs!
Joyce

Potentially lots of things.

Hello,

I need help with configuring the select feature for a layer. I have a "Lease" shape file store in data folder stored at C:\Data\Lease\

Following the implementer documentation of GeoMoose
1.       I moved everything under parcel demo in "maps/demo/parcels/templates" to C:\Data\Lease\templates

tamplates or templates? templates ( it was a typo, sorry)


2.       Modify select result to be as below
<!-- MapServer Template -->
<table>
<tr>
<td><b>ID:</b></td>
<td>[TRCT_LABEL]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Tract Name:</b></td>
<td>[TRACT_NAME]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Operator:</b></td>
<td>[OPERATOR]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b>Tract Status:</b></td>
<td>[TRACT_STAT]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><hr/></td>
</tr>
</table>

3.       Modify Mapserver Mapfile

LAYER
              NAME Lease
              DATA './Lease.shp'
              .........


     PROJECTION
         'init=epsg:32040'
     END

METADATA
                     # drill-down identify service record.
                     'identify_record'    'templates/identify.html'

                     # query.php / "Search Lease" functionality.
                     'itemquery'   'templates/search_result.html'
                     'itemquery-filter'   '/.*[qstring].*/i'
                     'qstring_validation_pattern' '.'

                     # Feature reports are stored in the conf/feature_report directory.
                     'feature_report' 'Lease.xml'

                    'select_record'      'templates/select_result.html'
                     'select_header' 'templates/select_header.html'
                     'popups' 'Lease_popup.html'
              END


4.  Modify mapbook.xml
                     <input type="select" name="select_layer" title="Select features from:">
                           <option value="parcels/parcels">Parcels</option>
                           <option value="Lease/Lease">Lease</option>
                     </input>

The select_layer is a mapbook map-source/layer not a filesystem path (IIRC only one "/" is allowed in this field).  Did you create a map-source for your Lease mapfile?  Also, C:\Data is potentially outside your root path (in settings_local.ini) and that may cause problems (I haven't tested it).



I did all these steps.... But when I select features on my lease layer, it stuck at "Loading" and nothing was returning.  Could someone advise what I am overlooking?

Can you view your Lease layer on the map outside of using the select service?

In general, using Firebug (or equivalent) to view actual the requests and responses generally provides some insight into server error messages.


Thank you,
Joyce

Nothing against you personally, but there is just so much wrong with statements like these in non-encrypted email, and especially email sent to a public list.  Seems kind of like going to central park and using a megaphone to send a message to someone across the park while expecting that everyone else will pretend they didn't hear anything.  The bystanders were at a minimum inconvenienced, but certainly were not under any confidentiality agreement and are under no obligation to limit their freedom of speech just because you happened to shout something in a public setting that you shouldn't have.  Given the technical nature of email, there are many places a non-encrypted email is potentially stored and readable in route to its destination.  Finally, many organizations that implement enforced email archiving policies (based on legal data retention requirements) and thus an unintended recipient may not be able to delete a message even if they wanted to.
