GM 2.4

From Geomoose

This is a list of candidates and things that need to occur to release a GeoMOOSE 2.4 version to the public. This list was started by Brian, but others are free to contribute.

Work contributed by Oregon County Consortium Core Code modifications Candidates JavaScript Stuff:

• Vector layer type
• Markup tool enhancements. Support for editing attributes for Font Family, Font Color, Font Size and Label Alignment. Need to patch in config.js
• Small revision to allow a static legend graphic to be passed into mapbook and used instead of dynamically generated legend. Patch apply to catalog.js

PHP Services:

• Print Service - provided fixes WMS images shifting and sketches. Also added support for changing sketch size and color to print service. Still need to look into printing at map scale and scale line on printed maps. Preliminary documentation started on the wiki. Will need to replace existing files in SVN trunk.
• Query Service - A new operator was added called "in" as well as ability to specify it's delimitor. This would be an easy addition to add to trunk. The Oregon Couties have also made some other enhancements to this query service but they have dependencies on other things. For example they are using this same service to query for the results that go into a JQuery data table. They also have altered this service to take advantage of highlighting features with a vector layer type. The user community would have to decide if these enhancements are of benefit to include in trunk. There also needs to be another look at the way templates (including header and footers) are handled to support different modes. I have also experienced where this PHP script does not always exit gracefully if a template is missing. I think more testing to error check that needs to be done.

User Extensions

• Measure with Bearings - Done and Documented on Wiki (2011-03-15)

Logistics of rolling out a final 2.4 candidate

• Remove all the itemquery service and configuration variables in settings.ini from trunk code. The query service supercedes it.
• Update demo's to work against lastest trunk code.
