	RE: Maptips on Mapserver by Marc Pfister :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Some parts of this message have been removed. Learn more about Nabble's security policy. It’s easy to just take the current maptip code which handles the mouse movement detection and modify it to fire off a Map.Query instead of the MG one. However, when you do this every time you stop moving the mouse you trigger a redraw to show the selection highlighted. So where exactly is the query code? I think I’ll just tweak that that to pass the query back to the maptip code. Also, speaking of queries – is there a way to change the selection highlight color and lineweight?

	RE: Maptips on Mapserver by JasonBirch :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi Marc, The MapGuide QueryMapFeatures call returns a FeatureInformation XML doc. Here's an example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <FeatureInformation> <FeatureSet xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="FeatureSet-1.0.0.xsd"> <Layer id="dabba2fe-ffff-ffff-8000-005056b512c0"> <Class id="Default:Parks"> <ID>YAEAAA==</ID> </Class> </Layer></FeatureSet> <Tooltip>Goldfinch Park</Tooltip> <Hyperlink /> <Property name="parkName" value="Goldfinch Park" /> <Property name="parkAddress" value="" /> </FeatureInformation> Which then gets passed through XML2JSON to give this: {"FeatureInformation":{"FeatureSet":[{"@noNamespaceSchemaLocation":["Fea tureSet-1.0.0.xsd"],"Layer":[{"@id":["dabba2fe-ffff-ffff-8000-005056b512 c0"],"Class":[{"@id":["Default:Parks"],"ID":["YAEAAA=="]}]}]}],"Tooltip" :["Goldfinch Park"],"Property":[{"@name":["parkName"],"@value":["Goldfinch Park"]},{"@name":["parkAddress"],"@value":[""]}]}}; I can't find a schema for FeatureInformation, but the schema for one of its components (FeatureSet) can be found here: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/browser/trunk/MgDev/Common/Schema There's all kinds of complexity around the feature ID encoding, but I don't think that's important for a MapServer implementation.

	RE: Maptips on Mapserver by Marc Pfister :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message I have Maptips sort-of working now on Mapserver. Only problem is that they aren't visible. On FF3 I thought it might be a Z-index thing, like the measure tool, but I don't see them on IE7 either. Looking at the HTML source in Firebug though, it certainly looks like it created the Maptip. Does this look right? Here's the html: <li id="FusionItem28" class="maptipContainer" style="display: block; top: 480px; left: 612px; visibility: visible;"> <div class="maptipContent"> SPMU-CH-CBDZ <iframe class="maptipShim" scrolling="no" style="width: 1271px; height: 42px;"> <html> <head> <title/> </head> <body/> </html> </iframe> </div> </li> It's in this map if you'd like to take a closer look: http://209.20.81.81/fusion/templates/mapserver/corning/ The console log will return the value of the maptip and a message that it set the maptip to "visible'.

	Re: Maptips on Mapserver by pagameba :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Marc, couple of things - 1. Why is the maptip container an LI element? That seems odd. It looks actually like you've assigned your MapTip widget to something in a toolbar? You should not put it in a toolbar, but rather add an extra div to your page. <div id="maptipContainer"></div> 2. You need to add the z-index on this container object: #maptipContainer { position: absolute; z-index: 101 } 3. Starting with ffox 3 you need to assign z-indexes to other things that are parallel to the maptip container, in this case the div with the id 'thePage': #thePage { zindex: 1 } should do the trick. I think IE is similar in this respect. Cheers Paul On 3-Sep-08, at 7:16 PM, Marc Pfister wrote: > I have Maptips sort-of working now on Mapserver. Only problem is that > they aren't visible.

So that then leads to the question, what exactly is the right way to use maptip in ApplicationDefinition.XML? I've got the widget added: <Widget xsi:type="WidgetType"> <Name>Maptip</Name> <Type>Maptip</Type> <StatusItem/> </Widget> But now though Maptip.js loads, it never initializes. It was initializing when I had the Maptip as an item in the toolbar container, so do I need some sort of container for the maptip that corresponds to the maptipContainer div?

Which it doesn't. Or should I say didn't. Slowly this is all making sense. I present to you maptips on Mapserver: http://209.20.81.81/fusion/templates/mapserver/corning/ The code is currently ugly and useless for the general public, but now that at least this works I will fix that. I'll set it up to pass some Mapserver-specific parameter for the fields to use for the maptip text and hyperlink instead of hardcoded values. Can someone point to what I need to know about checking code out and back in. I've always been a passive user of SVN and the like but now it seems I'm going to need to learn more. Also, should this be on Fusion-Dev or Fusion-Users?
