[Geomoose-users] How To Add Search Clarification

[Julson, Adam (MNIT)]

I understand WMS is used for speed.  If the WFS layer is fast enough can we use that mapsource entry for Catalog/Identify/Search/Grid/Select to try and simplify the Mapbook?

I have one test layer in the catalog as a WFS but styling is a little foreign.  Is there a way to use png in the styling for a wfs layer?

Thanks!
Adam

Unfortunately, you need to have two <map-source> entries at this point.  One for the WMS service and one for the WFS service.

The search tool gets configured to point to the WFS <map-source> and the catalog item is pointed towards the WMS <map-source>.

Is it correct to say that both WMS and WFS versions should be together In a mapserver group ? That is the example in the demo, though the docs don't state it's required from what I saw...

Another fix for today. :D

Yes, you can use both at the same time.  There's no conflict in leaving the *layer* in the catalog that displays the search as the WMS-based version but the WFS configuration will need to be added next to it to add search capabilities.

I notice in the following How To doc:
https://github.com/geomoose/gm3/blob/master/docs/howto/add-search.md

It describes creating a map-source name="firestations-wfs".

Then later we're adding a new search service, specifically:
searchLayers: ['firestations/fire_stations'],

Is that correct or should it be
searchLayers: ['firestations-wfs/fire_stations']

On another note, we'd like to use a search service on a mapserver layer that uses png images for each point and labels.  We see that search service is currently a wfs or mapserver-wfs thing and we're wondering if there's any way to mashup the two and get the best of both worlds.  Even if the wfs layer isn't styled at all but used to execute the search and the search service in turn makes sure the related mapserver wms layer is also on. Pair/mash/link?

Thank you.
