[Geoserver-users] Time template for Google Earth

Hi, i have tried to use a time template with this time.ftl:

${utc_date_time.value?
datetime(“y?M%d&H:m:s”)}

My postgres colum looks like this:

“2008-11-18 01:01:39”

The time slider doesn’t show up in Google Earth. I tried using just ${utc_date_time.value} and then it it just shows a subset of the dataset.

Any ideas ?

Hi Martin,

What version of geoserver are you using? I can't remember when, but i know there were some issues a while back with time templates with postgis not working correctly. Are you using a relatively recent version?

Any chance you could supply a quick sql script that creates some data with which you can replicate the issue with. With it I could quickly load it up into my postgis db and debug the problem.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for sending me the data to reproduce. So with recent version of GeoServer 1.7.x the function in the template is unnecessary, you can just reference the temporal column directly with timestamp values. So if you change the template to simply:

${utc_date_time.value}

The rationale being that since the column is already a datetime, there should be no need to to convert it.

Hope that helps.

Hi Justin, I use 1.7.5-SNAPSHOT. I had problems with earlier versions as well.

Using the description and title ftl's has also changed. Earlier versions showed all the features in the menu in GE but now it is just endless trees without a list of features
.

Attached is a sql with inserts.
