[mapserver-users] Set OPACITY through runtime substitution

[Rahkonen Jukka (MML)]

Hi,

According to documentation probably not a bug but a missing feature: http://mapserver.org/cgi/runsub.html
It seems that nothing in STYLE can be changed with variables.

  http://maps1.dnr.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/mapserv70?map=/usr/local/mapserver/apps/test/opacity/test.map&mode=map (use the default OPACITY if set (in this case it's "OPACITY 10")
  http://maps1.dnr.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/mapserv70?map=/usr/local/mapserver/apps/test/opacity/test.map&mode=map&map.layer[county]=OPACITY+50
  
A more complex syntax *should* work (&map.layer[county].class[0].style[0]=OPACITY+10) but wasn't for me with 7.0 (it did work for COLOR/OUTLINECOLOR).

In the above example I used invalid syntax. This is what I meant:

    CLASS 
        EXPRESSION ('%opacity%' = '10') 
        STYLE 
            OPACITY 10 
        END 
    END 
    CLASS 
        EXPRESSION ('%opacity%' = '20') 
        STYLE 
            OPACITY 20 
        END 
    END
