[Qgis-user] wrong with "export to mapserver"

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi Orkun,
did you save your project as a qgs-project file first?
I tried the plugin with 9.1 here on windows, with a simple postgis layer 
and it generated a mapfile.
First save the project with your postgis layers, and after that, export 
this project to mapfile.
see screendump http://www.duif.net/qgis/mapserverexport1.jpg
and http://www.duif.net/qgis/mapserverexport2.jpg for the 'succes'-dialog.

Another option is to use the upcoming python plugin for that (you need 
qgis 9.1 or higher to use the python plugins). After enabling 'Plugin 
Installer'-plugin, you can get a list of current (python) plugins and 
get it. It seems that there is a bug in it, and there are some other 
things which can be refined (see this thread: 
http://www.nabble.com/Mapserver-Export-to15454127.html). But if you can 
write a few lines of python, it's a good start. You can find python 
plugin hints in blog wiki or mailinglists.

Hopefully Gary will work on it any further (don't know his 
plans/planning), or we must find a way in which other people can 
continue working on other peoples plugins ...

Good luck
