[mapserver-users] Edit database attribute

[Paul Spencer]

Thanks for the positive feedback :)  There is a new version of gMap
coming out with some enhancements, along with a MapLab suite that
includes gMapFactory, MapBrowser and MapEdit.  These are in beta test
right now and we hope to have an integrated release candidate for 30 May
that will appear on the mapserver mailing list.  I don't believe there
are any updates for ROSA though.

Cheers

Paul

Hi Paul,

looks interesting,..... heard about it, but did not know it could also
edit. Downloading it just now, so will look into it's capabilities 

BTW, is there anything new coming up regarding GMAP or the Rosa applet?
Love it and learned a lot from it. GMAP is a good startingpoint for
learning both mapscript and mapserver.

Thanks for the tip,

Erwin

You could try OpenEV ... http://openev.sourceforge.net/, it's an
excellent package, fully open source, works on windows, linux, irix and
solaris (and probably many others if you take the time to compile it).
Its based on GDAL (http://www.remotesensing.org/gdal/) for data access,
OpenGL for rendering and GTK for user interface, with most of the user
interface written in python using pygtk bindings.  It includes
sufficient capability to do what you want right now I believe, and if
it's missing anything, you can easily add it in python or ask on the
mailing list.

Cheers,

Hi All,

been looking into Shapefile Viewers & Editors lately, but found none
suitable for my purpose, which is 'no more' then:

* load layer (shapefile)
* select item (polygon or point)
* edit selected item's dbase-value's

At esri.com I stumbled upon MapObjects 2.1, which has some very nice
examples regarding adding shapes and images to a viewer, but could not
find any information regarding Editing-attributes.

As it needs to be a stand alone application, MapObjects is very
suitable.

Does anyone have some experience with editing database values of shapes
/ points / annotations with MapObjects or any 'tool' ?

Apologies for being not really Mapserver related this time, but I found
out that Mapserver users have a very broad background regarding GIS in
general, so hoping that this one has been covered or looked in to by
someone else :-)

Thanks for any input,

Erwin
