[mapserver-users] KML generation-partially working

[Smith, Michael ERDC-RDE-CRREL-NH]

You probably have to set your WEB / IMAGEURL to an absolute path since otherwise the kml references are relative and not picked up.

And please, reply to the list, there are others that can learn and respond that way.

Subject: RE: [mapserver-users] KML generation-partially working

Hi Michael,

  I looked in to the KML file. It looks fine. But the Images which have been generated in the ms_tmp files are blank. There was an image for each layer, which came out to be blank and for my layer 'ControlPoints' I gave under class ->Symbol-> Circle. So I have an image corresponding to this symbol in ms_tmp which is being used as the styleUrl in the KML. yet I am seeing a cross mark for that place mark in the Google earth.

For the layer 'sbet' - it is a line, so there is no image generated at all and this layer is being displayed good on the Google earth.

                LAYER
                                NAME         ControlPoints #Photogrammetric points
                                DATA         Photogrammetric_Point
                                STATUS       OFF
                                TYPE         POINT
                                CLASS
                                                STYLE
                                                                # Symbol to be used (reference)
                                                                SYMBOL "circle"
                                                                # Size of the symbol in pixels
                                                                SIZE 8
                                                                COLOR 190 20 190
                                                                # Outline colour (RGB) - black
                                                                OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
                                                END
                                END
                                PROJECTION
                                                "init=epsg:2246"
                                END
                END

KML :

<Style id="style_symbol_circle_8.0_ffbe14be">
      <IconStyle>
        <Icon>
          <href>/ms_tmp/502a9927_2bc4_10.png</href>
        </Icon>
      </IconStyle>
    </Style>
    <Folder>
      <name>ControlPoints</name>
      <visibility>1</visibility>
      <styleUrl>#LayerFolder_check</styleUrl>
      <Placemark>
        <name>ControlPoints.0</name>
        <styleUrl>#style_symbol_circle_8.0_ffbe14be</styleUrl>
        <Point>
          <coordinates>
                -84.61444330,38.04278949
                </coordinates>
        </Point>
      </Placemark>

Have you looked inside the KML file?

You can also set a DEBUG value on your layer (and mapfile) and look for anything that might be interrupting your KML write.
