I've been looking at the Itasca demo and see how they query a feature
from a given layer. I want to be able to do the same when my
information is stored in a database, but I have been unable to figure
out how to do so.
I have the following layer:
LAYER
NAME Machine_Outlines
GROUP Machine
CONNECTIONTYPE postgis
CONNECTION "host=localhost port=5432 dbname=thedatabase
password=thepassword user=testuser"
DATA "outline FROM (SELECT instance_id AS id, Translate(outline,
X(position), Y(position), 0) AS outline FROM instance INNER JOIN
primitive_def_footprint ON instance.primitive_def_id =
primitive_def_footprint.primitive_def_id WHERE primitive_type =
'machine') AS instance USING UNIQUE id USING SRID=-1"
TYPE POLYGON
STATUS OFF
CLASS
NAME 'Machine'
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
COLOR 192 64 192
TEMPLATE templates/Machines.html
END
HEADER "templates/Machines_header.html"
FOOTER "templates/Machines_footer.html"
END
And then Machines.html looks like
<tr><td>[lrn]</td><td>[NAME]</td></tr>
What I have been unable to figure out is how to get [NAME] to represent
the column 'name' from the instance table of my database.
