[Fusion] Creation of a search widget for mapserver

[aboudreault]

We decided to create a new widget for searching attribute on a specific layer. We are going to use a php script on the server (it will use queryByAttributes() fonction) and we'll use a technique similar the query widget to display result.

This widget need to be reviewed by some people to check if it's ready to commit to the trunk. At the moment, it a simple widget that create a textbox and a search button for doing the request. The results are automaticaly displayed in the SelectionPanel like Select widget.

This widget need to be reviewed by some people to check if it's ready to commit to the trunk. At the moment, it a simple widget that create a textbox and a search button for doing the request. The results are automaticaly displayed in the SelectionPanel like Select widget. Here is the list of files used for this widget:

• widgets/MSSearch.js
• MapServer/MapServer.js (The query method + search method)
• MapServer/php/Search.php

I'm coming to this too late for inclusion in 1.1 so it will have to go in 2.0.

I'm trying to move away (as much as practical) from having architecture-specific widgets like this but it is also quite difficult to be generic. Before we incorporate this, I'd like to have a look at what can be done to make it a generic Search capability combined with the existing MapGuide-specific Search.js.

moving to future unless someone wants to specifically implement this feature.
