Hi there, Ok I managed to get this outputted...but under the [name] and [type] I need to get these fields populated from the query of the mjrroads... 
IDNameType1164[name][type]
 Code from mjrroadsquery.html<!-- 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>
    <td>[name]</td>
 <td>[type]</td>
</tr> Now if I change the [name] to [map] in the mjrroadsquery.html I get the following...

  
ID
Name
Type

1164
/wwwroot/M_Mirrlees_Assign3/global.map
[type] Code from mjrroads.html <!-- 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> All i'm trying to do is get the Name and Type fields to be showing the name of the road, and the type of the road. Thanks,Mark

Straight item tags like that ARE case sensitive. Try  [item name=”name”] and [item name=”type”] instead.

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,

Mark

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
