how to pass parameters to the mapFish component from a selectBox

[sylvain tacquet]

Hello,

I am using GeoBi in a Pentaho dashboard and facing the following
problem :
- I would like the map to display specific regions depending on the
value selected in another selectBox.

I already know how to launch the map only when a value in the
selectBox is selected (adding a listener to the mapFish component) but
I don't know how to use this parameter (the value of the selectBox) to
customize the Map ("parameters" is already used in the mapFish
component) .

Do you have any idea how I could proceed ?

Thanks in advance !

Hello Sylvain,
If i understand what you mean, you have the following ways:

1. you must create different xactions and associate them separately
to your map by using the ID (so you will have several maps). The
Geo Server will filter (trougth a WFS request) the cartographic
features by using the ID and the WebGIS client will display only
the features you are interestes in

2. you can use a new mapfish component in your template.html like that:

regionSelector =
{
name: "regionSelector",
type: "select",
listeners: .....
solution: .......,
path: ........,
action: "regions.xaction",
parameters: [["param1","param1"]],
valueAsId: false,
parameter: .........,
htmlObject: .........,
executeAtStart: false,
tooltip: "Regions",

postChange: function(){

//configure an xaction to retreive your regions WKT geometries
by passing some parameters
regions = pentahoAction(regionSelector.solution,
regionsSelector.path,
"getRegionWkt.xaction",
[["param1", param1],["param2", param2],
.....],
null);

//Here you must write the code to update your map in order to
display the Wkt geometries, e.g. trougth new OpenLayers.Format.WKT()

}

};

Hope this help
