[mapguide-users] How to prepare the unmanaged feature source?

[Kenneth, GEOGRAF A/S]

Afaik, there is no template.
To use the "unmanaged feature source" feature, you must have a server of 
build 1.2 or greater (Enterprise 2008 is roughly 1.2 Beta2).
Sencondly the unmanaged feature is avalible but not displayed in Studio 
2007.
You will have to upgrade if you want it displayed in Studio.

You can setup an unmanaged directory, using the "Site Administrator" 
(there is a menu for opening the site administrator in Studio).
Once the folder is setup, you can use it from within Studio 2008.

If you use Studio 2007, you must manually edit the FeatureSource xml 
file, and change the path to something like:
%MG_DATA_PATH_ALIAS[name of alias]%/name of datafile.sdf

You will probably have to restart both the server and studio if you add 
or remove an alias.

If you don't want the alias option, but just reference data outside of 
the repository, you can manually edit the FeatureSource xml, to point at 
the correct data.
