[mapguide-users] MG 2.0 RC4 selection ALMOST working

[Jonathan Manafi]

We realized about the Selection widgets, and we went ahead and included 
those in the ApplicationDefinition.xml files that we used. We also noted 
that the selection does indeed work with the Sheboygan maps, and as soon 
as you select parcels, the map refreshes to indicate your selection, as 
well as the SelectionInfo widget shows your selected objects. However, 
we used the included Aqua ApplicationDefinition.xml template and only 
changed the .MapDefinition files to reflect our maps instead of 
Sheboygan and added our custom scripts/urls as widgets to test, and we 
are having the selection issues. I even removed everything external to 
the initial Aqua template except for one of our maps to load, and the 
same thing occurs.

Also of note:
I used the FireBug extension to see the GET and POST commands, and when 
running the Sheboygan sample, the selection command issues a POST of 
.../fusion/MapGuide/php/Query.php followed by POST 
.../fusion/MapGuide/php/Selection.php, whereas our maps only issue POST 
of .../fusion/MapGuide/php/Query.php.  I don't know if that has anything 
to do with the SelectionInfo showing selected objects for Sheboygan and 
not for us, or if all of these issues are just interrelated.
