Point distribution mapping using remote tab delimited text file

Help Home

Linking using this method is accomplished by passing in the appropriate URL key/value pairs, including location of a tab delimited file on a remote server and a configuration file following an XML schema.

The Examples

Example 1 (passing tab delimited file from MVZ online interface -specifying key field individually):

• Construct URL http://berkeleymapper.berkeley.edu/run.php
      ?ViewResults=tab
      &tabfile=http://berkeleymapper.berkeley.edu/schemas/mvz.txt
      &configfile=./schemas/mvz.xml
      &sourcename=Sample+MVZ+resultset
      &queryvalue=-180+-90+180+90
• change tabfile to point to where your dynamically generated tabfile is located. View tabfile used in this example.
• configfile View configfile used in this example (if you're browser doesn't display XML then try viewing source).
• queryvalue is optional and with parameters of min long, min lat, max long, max lat you can specify a bounding box query to pass in. This is useful in showing some records when the session is initiated.

Example 2 (passing tab delimited file from MANIS interface -specifying key field dynamically):

• Construct URL http://berkeleymapper.berkeley.edu/run.php
      ?ViewResults=tab
      &tabfile=http://berkeleymapper.berkeley.edu/schemas/manis.txt
      &configfile=./schemas/manis.xml
      &sourcename=Sample+Manis+resultset
      &label=1
• change tabfile to point to where your dynamically generated tabfile is located. View tabfile used in this example.
• configfile View configfile used in this example. (if you're browser doesn't display XML then try viewing source)
• label means to automatically label with political features which is off by default.
