Symbols in KML outout

[Peter Hopfgartner]

From http://mapserver.org/output/kml_output.html#id2, it should be
possible to have icons for sysmbols. The pixmap of the ison should be
referenced in the href node.
In my output, the href ode looks like:

<href>(null)</href>

Is there anything I missed?

Regards,

Peter

Hello,

Problem is known but nobody says why it won't be fixed or similar...

Bye, TDS

Just as a quick fix, I'd propose to drop the href node if no reasonable
value is given. Anything more elaborate can be added later on. Comments?

Never used it but it seems the KML driver creates PNG images on the fly and returns them as href. This seems to be independent of the type of symbol. So you should make sure MS is able to write those images into /tmp or $MS_TEMPPATH. The "(null)" indicates that it was unable to do so.

Hi Andreas,

setting reasonable values for TEMPPATH, IMAGEPATH and IMAGEURL fixed the
issue, indeed.


Thanks,

You also have to make sure that the IMAGEURL is a full web URL not just a
path.
