Hi Dave

To be able to map occurrences and be able to pop up images when you click on an occurrence can be done in one of two ways that I can think of. Either you use the Distribution Map 1 form, which shows a feature type output by GeoServer, or you use the Report Map form which displays content from an Indicia Report.

Either way, you depend upon the output of a query on the database which would have to contain both spatial information and the image information. As far as I am aware this doesn't exist at the moment. Moreover, it is not within the privileges of any normal user to modify reports or feature types.

There is probably a third alternative, to write some PHP that creates what you want, but let's not think about that.

I am hesitating to propose a particular solution because I am wondering about dealing with multiple images, how best to add in the html to create the links and whether this has any implications for work John has done on caching tables for improved performance. Perhaps a report specific to your needs would be better than, say, changing the indicia:detail_occurrences feature type that would have an impact on all its users.
