Welcome Travis.

As to your first question, I don't know.  When I started, I just dove in
head first, however, that is how I learn best.  My suggestion is to just
start looking at the code and figure out what does what.  Also, look around
on the samples site http://mapguide.osgeo.org/livegallery.html and see what
is possible.  Alot of the samples have the code posted as well.  This will
give you an idea of what is currently possible.  

As for your second question, I would actually suggest looking at MapGuide
Studio, not Web Studio, since it is easier to create the feature sources and
do general "maintenance" stuff like the rename folders.  However, it has
been a while since I tried using Web Studio.  There is a free trial that you
can get to try it out first.  I can't remember the exact price for the
actual software, but it wasn't much and was well worth it.

I was a newbie myself at the beginning of the year.  Hope that helps.

Rich

Hi folks,
 
I am new to MapGuide Open Source - in fact, very new, like 3 days new.  My
company is moving away from ESRI technology (primarily ArcIMS for web-based
apps) and embracing MapGuide Open Source.  Our clients like the price tag.
I have read most of the Newbie documentation that I can find.   To date, I
have read the Help in Site Administrator and in Web Studio.  I have also
read the first four chapters in the Users Guide for MGE 6.5.  I have since
abandoned that read because it doesn't seem to have a high degree of
fidelity with MGOS.  Is this accurate?  Is there any good documentation that
I can read about simply using MGOS.  My main aim is to get coding as soon as
possible, but I want to nail down the fundamentals of system logic and
functionality flow first.  Development will make a lot more sense then.
 
I have two questions for the group then:
 
1) What and where is the good documentation?  I have the developers guide
for 1.2.0, but I am postponing reading that until I can find some more basic
User level stuff.
 
2) I created a folder in Web Studio and then tried to rename it.  It
displayed the input box with the cancel button (grey circle with x) with the
new folder name, but did not save the change.  I tried saving the resource
from the file menu to no avail.  And I tried to change the folder name in
the Properties panel for the resource, but, alas, again to no avail.  How do
you permanently change a folder name in Web Studio?
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Regards,

Subject: Re: [mapguide-users] how to set "OR SpatialFilter"??
 
You cannot do the first suggestion, as the SetSpatialFilter will clear 
any previous filter.
You can combine the objects, but you can also use Sql like:
"Geometry Inside GEOMFROMTEXT('...') Or Geometry Inside GEOMFROMTEXT('...')"
 
The ... should be replaced with the WKT for the objects.
 
Im not familliar with construction of the query using the API, but 
internally there exists objects that represents an Or operation.
If those are avalible to the API, you can construct such objects.

There are three geomertys ,they are geom1 ,geom2 and geom3
 
Now, I want to select the features in them, in other word, select the
features inside of geom1 or inside of geom2 or inside of geom3.
 
 
Then,how do I write the SetSpatialFilter ?? Just like the following ?
 
     queryOp.SetSpatialFilter("Geometry", geom1,
MgFeatureSpatialOperations.Inside);
     queryOp.SetSpatialFilter("Geometry", geom2,
MgFeatureSpatialOperations.Inside);
     queryOp.SetSpatialFilter("Geometry", geom3,
MgFeatureSpatialOperations.Inside);
 
Or I have to combine all the three geoms into a big one and then
 
   queryOp.SetSpatialFilter("Geometry", TotalGeom,
MgFeatureSpatialOperations.Inside);
 
If I have to combine them, and how? how to combine?
 
 
Thanks in advance~
