[mapserver-users] Show only one POI on the map

[valerio vianello]

Hi Tomas,

I have found a first solution to my problem.

I used the cookies to store the variable value end I update the cookie value only when the variable change. 

and then in a javascript I update the value of the post field before submit the page.

I'm searching for other solution that don't use cookies...

thanks
Valerio

Hi Tomas,

My demo is on my local machine for now...but I will show you part of the map file and template file.

this is the layer in which i use the variable the map file is called "map1.map"
# Start of LAYER DEFINITIONS ---------------------------------------------
  LAYER  #show single poi

    NAME         floor_1_Show_Pois

    DATA        POIs

    STATUS       OFF

    TYPE         POINT
    CLASSITEM "country"
    FILTERITEM 'floor'
    FILTER 'f.1'    
    LABELITEM "name"

    TOLERANCE 7

    CLASS

      NAME       'single_poi'
      EXPRESSION '%ccountry%' 
      TEMPLATE '../templates/pois.html'
      STYLE

      COLOR        0 0 0
          SYMBOL '../symbols/flag_blue.gif'
      END
      LABEL

        COLOR 0 0 0

       TYPE BITMAP 
        SIZE MEDIUM
        ANTIALIAS TRUE

        POSITION LC
        FORCE TRUE

        PARTIALS FALSE

        BUFFER 4

      END # end of label
    END #CLASS  
  END #  layer Pois with label  
#end ---------------------------------------------

when I click on same point in the map using mapserver query mode a new page is loaded where there is this link to reload the same map file to show only one pois:

<a href="/cgi-bin/mapserv50?map=/var/www/map1.map&layers=floor_1 floor_1_Show_Pois&ccountry=[country]&imgext=[state]&imgxy=[center]">Show on Section </a>

the page is loaded correct but if I try for example to query to poi I have non response or if I zoom in or zoom out into the map the poi disappears.

I tried to use the field in the template
<input type="hidden" neme="ccountry" value="[ccountry]">
but the value of [ccountry is replaced only the first time with the correct value then its value become the string
 "[ccountry]"...

any suggestions ?

best regards
Valerio

Valerio,

I don`t think if anything is preserved across the subsequent requests
in the cgi mapserver so you might have to apply the substitution on
each request.
However I`m not sure I could catch the problem exactly, do you have
mapfile/URL examples?

Best regards,

Tamas
