[mapguide-users] New Feature Source

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

I have not tried to create a feature source with webstudio,
but I have seen others report that it works.

I think you have to leave the files somewhere on the server
disk, and then reference them there.

The MGP packages are basically Zip files of your entire setup.
Even though you could create a featuresource that way, it would
be very cumbersome.

Currently you can only create/load MGP packages through the Site 
Administrator.

There are two other applications that can replace/co-exist with WebStudio:
MapGuide Maestro: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/maestro
Autodesk MapGuide Studio: 
http://www.autodesk.es/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=7176611

The first one is free, the second one is a trial but has full 
documentation.
You might find it easier to create feature sources with one of those.
