 Hi,
 I tried exporting a qgis project with a few vector layer to mapserver
 file. The result is pretty impressive but something unexpected happened:
 All POLYGON layers are exported as POINT TYPE layers.

 I looked at the code for ms_export.py and from what what I see I think the
 method lyr.getAttribute does not return the right type, so they all become
 POINT types.

 I tried looking into lyr.getAttribute, but couldn't find where it is.  I
 hope this is not just a false bug, and I hope I can help solving it, if
 someone directs me a bit to the right function  lyr.getAttribute (if it's
 written in python i can handle it better, but c++ will be fine too.)

 Thanks, Oz.
