[mapserver-users] query creation issues

Wed Mar 20 11:32:46 PDT 2013

Hi Steve, Unfortunately that didn't work! But I did manage to get the ID chracteristic outputted as I forgot to include that previously. As when I went to edit the query.html page it shows this 

ID
Name
Type

1275

[name]

[type] Here is the code that is causing issues for me... <!-- MapServer Template -->
<!--<IMG src="http://[host]/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=INDEXQUERY&qformat=png24&qlayer=mjrroads&shapeindex=[shpidx]&shpext=[shpext_esc]&mapext=shape&map=[map]">-->
<tr>
 <td>[shpidx]</td>
    <tr><td>[name]</td></tr>
 <tr><td>[type]</td></tr>
</tr> While this is the code for the header... <!-- MapServer Template -->
<h3><b>Layer: Major Roads</b></h3>
<br>
<INPUT NAME="img" TYPE="image" SRC="[img]" width=500 height=500 border=0 ALT="Map Image">
<table border=1>
<tr> </td>
 <th>ID</th>
 <th>Name</th>
 <th>Type</th>
</tr> As what i'm trying to do is get the name (name of road outputted) and the type (either expressway or major road) Thanks,MarkFrom: Steve.Lime at state.mn.us

You need to refer to the attributes next…

<tr><td>[NAME]</td><td>[TYPE]</td></tr>

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your help. I've managed to get the query outputted. I have a couple of additional questions...after creating my query I need the footer to show the "name" and the "type" (based on the shapefile information), as based on the footer.html below

<!-- MapServer Template -->

<h3><b>Layer: Major Roads</b></h3>

<br>

<INPUT NAME="img" TYPE="image" SRC="[img]" width=500 height=500 border=0 ALT="Map Image">

<table border=1>

<tr> </td>

 <th>Name</th>

 <th>Type</th>

</tr>

 As when I launch my query it only shows...

Name

Type

Based on readings from the mapserver website, it looks like I have to edit the query.html to make this populated...but not sure where (global.map file?) I can get this information that is supposed to go between the <td> and </td> tags.

<!-- MapServer Template -->

<!--<IMG src="http://[host]/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mode=INDEXQUERY&qformat=png24&qlayer=mjrroads&shapeindex=[shpidx]&shpext=[shpext_esc]&mapext=shape&map=[map]">-->

<tr>

 <td> </td>

 <td></td>

</tr>

Thanks,

Mark

> Hi Mark: Personally I'd steer you to the simplified query templates as described here:

> 

> http://mapserver.org/development/rfc/ms-rfc-36.html

> 

> This allows you to put everything in one place and better separates data from presentation. No more header/footer's. Plus you can have multiple presentations for the same layer.

> 

> That said, the mapfile below doesn't have any queryable layers. There is no TEMPLATE defined for the one layer that is present.

> 

> If you want to use the new style templating you'd do something like this:

> 

> 1- Define an output format:

> 

> OUTPUTFORMAT

> NAME 'my-template'

> DRIVER 'TEMPLATE'

> MIMETYPE 'text/html; subtype=compass'

> FORMATOPTION "FILE=templates/my-template.html"

> END

> 

> 2- Optionally make it the default query format (otherwise you need to use qformat CGI parameter):

> 

> WEB

> QUERYFORMAT 'my-template'

> ...

> END

> 

> 3- Make layers queryable by adding something like:

> 

> TEMPLATE 'void'

> 

> 4- Write your template, for example my-template.html might look like:

> 

> --- snip ---

> <!-- MapServer Template -->

> This is my template:<br/>

> 

> [resultset layer="mjrroads"]

> [feature]<b>Type</b>: [TYPE][/feature]

> [/resultset]

> 

> Done presenting layers.

> I'm trying to create a query so I can query the roads/expressways from the map. I'm pretty sure I have created the headers and footers correctly but not sure...regardless i'm not entirely too sure where to stick the particular code in my .map file (shown
 below). I have bolded the code that I'm trying to incorporate into the .map file but not sure why it's not working. Thanks Mark
