[mapserver-users] webuser text display

[Palmer, Steve]

Here is one that works for me for an inline point....

Get request snippet...

...&map_address_feature=new&map_address_feature_points=513139.0325+911004.25
67&map_address_feature_text=129+MAIN+ST&...

... and corresponding feature layer...

####### Start Layer
LAYER
 NAME address
 STATUS DEFAULT
 TYPE POINT
 FEATURE
  POINTS END
 END
 CLASS
  SYMBOL 'symbols/house.gif'
  LABEL
   TYPE BITMAP
   BACKGROUNDCOLOR 255 255 176
   BACKGROUNDSHADOWCOLOR 0 0 0
   SIZE TINY
   BUFFER 1
   COLOR 0 0 0
   POSITION UR
  END
 END
END
####### End Layer

Note that if you're trying to "logo's" or such things you specify image
coordinates and set the layer's transform property to "OFF" (Default is
"ON")

Hi,

I'm having problems displaying inline text using mapserver 3.6. I can get
symbol to draw, but can't get text added. Has anyone else run into this
problem? I'm new to mapserver so I could be tripping up on the obvious. It
seems straightforward so it's all the more puzzling that I can't get it
working.

TIA,

Steve

>From the help page:

"It is also possible to define inline features using this mechanism. This is
the only case where you can add on to the map file. You can edit/change
layer parameters but you cannot create a new layer. With inline features you
have to first create a feature and then build upon it, however, the layer
the feature belongs to must exist. Here's a snippet from a GET request that
adds a feature to a webuser layer:


...&map_webuser_feature=new&map_webuser_feature_points=12345.6789+12345.6789
         +map_webuser_feature_text=My+House!&..."
