[andersd]

Just loaded the nightly MS4W demo. Unzipped on a new version of MS4W 3.0.4. It is not working.

1. Starts OK
2. Parcels come up pink
3. Zoomto missing
4. Print icon is the binocs icon
5. Words next to icons (ie. sketch) do not appear.

Please re-run cron job.

Looks like some testing setting made it to svn.

Actually, it looks like that has always been that way.

Deleting lines 30-31 should make it work on MS4W by default.

The paths are always a problem. I made a fix to support a "local_settings.ini" that is ignored by SVN.

Okay, now we need some documentation.

Essentially, I've just completely changed the way mapserver and the default mapfile path are configured.

1. There is now a "local_settings.ini" file that must exist to change settings. SVN will *ignore* this file.
2. getmapbook.php will now dynamically add <param>'s to <configuration>. This puts the mapserver-url and mapfile-root into the configuration without the user needing to edit the mapbook.
3. We can add some default local_settings.ini files. Right now I have a ms4w_local_settings.ini file in there. It'd be nice if someone can test it.

I just updated to the latest SVN on gmtrunk.houstoneng.net and it seems to work great. This will be new to users so we need to make it clear to them that this is how it works now.

If this is still a problem later, open a new ticket, the new workflow has been implemented and it won't allow too many useful transitions from assigned.
