[mapserver-users] MapServer and shapefile

[Fabio Brolese]

Yes, sorry, I was talking about OpenLayers.
I understood and is like I did with all the layers I set pointing on PostGIS. I have also a "base layer" set as OpenLayers.Layer.TMS that load image tiles to show the city map. What we want to do is to change the base layer to read the city map from shapfile instead of reading image tiles.

Do you know if there is a way to do what we want or do I have to reconsider my structure and consider and use it as OpenLayers.Layer.WMS?

Fabio
