Re: [mapserver-users] problem with join

1000s thanks, but i need also the temlate-files.

my old problem:

1.) i have a shapfile called "test1" with an item "nr" in the dir: /mapserver/data

2.) i have also a dbf called "join1.dbf" in the dir: "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mapserver\data\join1.dbf" also with an item "nr" and "wert1" and "test2"

3.) my map-file:

LAYER
   NAME test
   TYPE POLYGON
   STATUS DEFAULT
   DATA test1
   LABELITEM NR
   CLASS
     SYMBOL 0
     COLOR 255 0 0
     OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
     TEMPLATE "joinx.html"
     JOIN
       NAME jj
       table "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mapserver\data\join1.dbf"
       from nr
       to nr
       type single
     END # join
     LABEL
       COLOR 128 0 0
       ANTIALIAS TRUE
       SIZE tiny
     END
   END
HEADER "joinx_header.html"
  FOOTER "joinx_footer.html"

END

4.) the templates

a) "joinx_header.html"
<font size+1><b>Layer: TEST</b></font><p>
<table cellpadding=5 cellspacing=2 border=0>
<tr bgcolor=#CCCCCC>
<th>NR</th><th>WERT1</th><th>TEXT2</th>
</tr>

b) "joinx_footer.html"

</table><p>

c) "joinx.html

but my query give me only this:

Layer: TEST

NR	WERT1	TEXT2
5	[WERT1]	[TEXT2]

:-( - where is the mistake? where are the value for "wert1" and "text2"??

Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] problem with join

You can create a join in your map file. Here's an example:

Class
   Join
     from PIDN
      name jointest
      table "\Tc\DATA\assessor.DBF"
      # TEMPLATE join_region.shp_query.html # required only for one-to-many joins
      to        Pidn
      type single
   End # of Join Object
   SYMBOL "Solid"
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
END # of Class

This is pretty well documented. Be careful how much editing is done to the dbf - adding or deleting records will break the join.

Also note that you can only use a join for queries, not labeling. If you need to label features off the dbf you are out of luck. You will need to create the join in ArcView or MapInfo, and save it out as a single, static layer.

hi,

my (little) problem:

i have a shape and i have ab big dbf-file.
the polys in the shape have 1 (one!) item - the ID , all other dates are in the dbf (landuse, name, number, ........)
i want to join both files to shade the poly in different views (first landuse, later name, ....)
my users should only edit in the dbf-file!

and now my problem: how must I join to shade different with datas from the joined dbf???
who has an example for me (map-file?)

great thanks.
