[Geomoose-users] Best way to refresh in GM?

Wed Oct 31 14:12:31 PDT 2012

Thanks Brent,

I looked at the documentation and tried to incorporate this, but not getting the filter to work.  Maybe it will help if I include code.  Some of it is hard coded for testing (for instance, town name is hard coded now).  The Filteritem is defined in the .map file as "TOWN", it's an ESRI File GDB.  The town I want to select is Acton:

$layerName = "parcels";

//Reset the parcel layers definition query to only the chosen town
$file = $CONFIGURATION['root']."parcelsSql.map";
$map = ms_newMapObj($file);
$pLayer = $map->getLayerByName($layerName);

//$pLayer->setFilter('[TOWN]' == 'Acton');
$pLayer->setFilter('Acton');

                header('Content-type: text/xml');
                print "<results>";
    print  "<script><![CDATA[
                GeoMOOSE.refreshLayers('parcels/parcels');
                alert('I also made an alert!');
        ]]></script>";

                print "<html><![CDATA[";
    print '<body>';
    print '<h3> you selected:</h3>';
    print $town;
    print '<br/>';
    print '</body>';
                print "]]></html>";
                print "</results>";

Bob,

  Have a look at the delivered PHP scripts in your Geomoose htdocs/php directory (especially the end of select.php), and at http://www.geomoose.org/docs/services.html

Basically you have your PHP send GeoMOOSE API calls (as JavaScript),  wrapped in the very excellent GeoMOOSE Service Communication Protocol,  specifically a

    GeoMOOSE.refreshLayers("my_mapsource/mylayer")

I can't seem to find a link to the API on the GeoMoose site, but you can have a look at http://www.geomoose.org/trunk/api/files/geomoose-js.html

Best Regards,

Brent Fraser

I'm putting together a service in which I hope to dynamically filter a MapServer layer.  I think I've got the PHP code set so I can set the filter on the layer.  Question is, what's the best way to command a redraw so that my filtered layer shows up properly?
