[Qgis-user] Mapserver Export

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi Yves,
I've been trying out some other things later, and got the same error. It 
appears I've two versions of the plugin installed. One in (the newer 
plugin directory) ~/.qgis/python/plugins and one in the 'old' 
installation directory: /usr/share/qgis/python/plugins ...
After removing both and loading the 0.1 version (apparently the last), I 
had your same error again....
But if you take a look in the plugin code file ms_export.py, you see a line:
self.qgs = minidom.parse("/home/gsherman/test1.qgs")
if you change that to:
self.qgs = minidom.parse(str(projectFile))
things start working :-)

Shapefile mapfiles are nice to do, I've got postgis errors when trying 
postgis maps (missing 'using unique' and 'using srid' stuff), and it's 
not very fault tolerant yet, but ... it's a work in progress ... 
Generated mapfiles are easy to fix. It's a nice way to do quick and 
dirty class generation.

Good luck

Richard
