[Geomoose-users] Fwd: Highlighting issue (Mapserver layer)

[Matej Mailing]

Hi,

I was able to track the issue down to the query.php mode='map'. It
seems that this part of the code:
        $request = ms_newowsrequestobj();
        $request->loadparams();
        ms_ioinstallstdouttobuffer();
        $highlight_map->owsdispatch($request);
        $contenttype = ms_iostripstdoutbuffercontenttype();
        header('Content-type: '.$contenttype);
        ms_iogetStdoutBufferBytes();
        ms_ioresethandlers();

doesn't work as it should. The features are successfully added in the
for loop as points, but then it stops and I get a blank image. I am
using Ubuntu and have found out some issues with loadparams() and
suggestions to replace it with
        foreach ($_GET as $k=>$v) {
                $request->setParameter($k, $v);
        }

but still - a blank image.

When checking the $request->numparams and $request->type, I get 19 for
numparams and 4294967295 for type so I suppose the parameters are
comming in successfully. What is the best way to debug further on?

Thanks for any ideas in advance.
Matej

Hi,

I have a Mapserver layer where I can get the results successfully
from. There is also a highlight mapsource defined in mapbook:
"        <map-source name="highlight" type="mapserver">
                <file/>
                <layer name="highlight"/>
                <param name="TRANSPARENT" value="TRUE"/>
        </map-source>"

I can see in firebug that the following request is made:
URL/query.php?service=WMS&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap&styles=&format=image%2Fjpeg&TRANSPARENT=true&MAP=&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&HIGHLIGHT=true&LAYER0=name1%2Fname2&TEMPLATE0=itemquery&FIELDNAME0=mac&COMPARITOR0=like-icase&VALUE0=54&DOJO_PREVENTCACHE=1350384735029&LAYERS=highlight
...

However the resulting image is empty. There is a file highlight.map in
php/itemquery directory, should I include it somewhere else?
Parameters in the query that contain data and attributes are the same
as in the working query result. For others I am not sure - shouldn't I
include highlight.map somewhere by name in the mapbook.xml?

I believe I am missing something but can't find out what.

Thanks,
Matej
