[mapserver-users] Ogrtindex and attribute data

[Christy Nieman]

  Hi,

Do you mean that you cannot classify a layer where the data are drawn 
using a tile index?  I use tile indexed shapefiles all the time and have 
never had any problems using CLASSITEM/EXPRESSION and 
FILTERITEM/FILTER.  Could you provide an example of what's not working?

Regards,

Christy
