[mapserver-users] Points with hyperlinks

[Matej]

Bob,

thank you for your reply. My current choice would be the Imagemap one. Could 
you attach some short XML and other appropriate snippets to achieve it? 
Actually I have a working .map file which creates my that content between 
<map>  and </map>, but I am looking for examples on how to include it into 
GeoMoose, which anyways works perfectly.

Thank you for your help in advance,
Matej Serc

Matej,

I'm copying this reply to the GeoMoose Mail list.

Are you interested in working the process as a pick option or query service, 
where you pick a point on the map and the server responds with a new window 
containing the link, or do you want to use a Imagemap, where all the links 
available for a particular view are downloaded at once and you can open up a 
new window by picking from active areas in the map?

GeoMoose can go both ways.   I use the ImageMap process quite extensively, 
since I can send some basic metadata like info down to the client in short 
form, and let the user decide it they want to see more.  I can also include 
more than on link this way and let the user decide which they want to open 
up.

The Query Service is good though if you know you are always going to want to 
look at the result in a new page no matter what.

Hello,

thanks everyone for help and suggestions so far ... I am using GeoMoose as a
client and I have some problems implementing it. Does someone have a working
XML Mapbook code snippet for "including" mapfiles into the GeoMoose? It
works directly when I call mapserv from URL anyway ...

Thanks everyone,
