Drop map-specific query modes for the MapServer CGI #2226

Closed mapserver-bot closed 12 years ago

mapserver-bot commented 12 years ago

Reporter: sdlime Date: 2011/03/05 - 06:05 Need to drop the map-specific query modes from the MapServer CGI. They're unnecessary and I'd rather promote the use of the qformat attribute instead.

Author: sdlime Date: 2011/03/05 - 06:21 Committed in (r11078). Now moving to a documentation task. Need to note the modes that are no longer supported but also make sure qformat is adequately described.

Author: dmorissette Date: 2011/03/07 - 15:02 Steve, this probably also deserves a mention in MIGRATION_GUIDE.TXT

Author: sdlime Date: 2011/03/07 - 18:40 Agreed, I updated it in (r11109). That document actually needs a lot of work before we release. I'll take a pass at it and make sure things related to my stuff (e.g. expression parsing, label styles, and MapScript query processing) are documented.

We may want to consider something beyond a text file for this purpose. I think Astrid was creating a Wiki page for just such a purpose.

Author: havatv Date: 2011/09/24 - 17:55 All mentions of

*QUERYMAP have been removed from the 6.0 and trunk documentation in (r12576). The only remains I found were in cgi-> controls, and there were very few (two mentions of NQUERYMAP and one mention of ITEMQUERYMAP).

The QFORMAT parameter was documented and a note on formats that are no longer supported was added in (r12578).
