[mapguide-users] SDF & Postgres Join problem

[Jason Birch]

This is similar to problems users were having with other kinds of joins.  My guess is that you'll have to wait for the 1.0.1 release for this to be fixed.

Subject: [mapguide-users] SDF & Postgres Join problem



Hello,

At first I'd like to sorry for my bad english, but I'm not native speaker.

I'm new to GIS (and MapGuide in particular) and after 2 days of software
  learning I've encountered a serious problem (at least for me) - SDF &
PostgreSQL data joining.

I'm working with a simple test project in MapGuide Studio Preview. I've
just imported small SDF file with a few polygons, created layer and
selected that SDF as a feature source. Everything goes well by this
point - data is drawed on a map and I can select individual polygons.

But then I've tried connection with database for automatic labeling and
tool tips. So, I've created PG connection data and then edited SDF
feature source to join with PG database by a key. Then I've gone to
layer edit, selected "PGconnection" as a feature class, Data as a
geometry (because I'd like to draw geometry from SDF and use DB only for
labeling). Then I've selected DB properties I'd like to display, set
Feature label and start a map. At first it looked like it worked as I'd
want to - polygons were drawed and labels from DB were at correct
position. But there is a problem also - polygons are not selectable
anymore :-( Tooltiping also does not working. Of course map option:
"Features on layer can be selected" for that layer is checked on.
When I change Feature Class to SDF polygon selecting works again, but
I've no access to database data, so labeling doesn't work.

So, what can I do to correct this problem?

Now I've made a simple workaround - I've created a copy of layer: one
using DB connection and second not. For a layer with DB joining I've set
a line color the same like a background so features are not displayed,
but labels are. Second layer draws just a features (selectable). But
it's not a solution, for example tool tips are still not working.

Best Regards,

Bogdan Modzelewski
