Hi Brad,

 

Thanks for your response.

I did come across that in the docs, and I’ll look into it a bit more, it looks 
very much like what I should have started with!  It looks like it will be very 
useful to come up to speed on for my project.

Thanks for that reminder. Does freemarker have a role to play in 
internationalizing layer content in GeoServer?  How do you provide for > 1 
language of content, in general? 

 

Cheers, and thanks,

Peter

Seems like we normally start with freemarker templates, and that might be 
appropriate in your case. Otherwise its pretty open with what works in terms of 
Wicket - I don't think that the admin UI is a great source of UX design 
patterns,  so not a lot of constraints. 

 

One thing that you might want to consider is how the translation into other 
languages would work. There are a lot of variations out there...

Hi,

 

I’ve been working on developing a way to process strings templated with 
attribute name placeholders, when serializing a WFS GetFeature / WMS/WMTS 
GetFeatureInfo response.

 

 

The strings will look like something like this, for example: “This string can 
contain zero or more attribute ${name} placeholders. The placeholders can be 
for any ${attribute}, not only name.” .

 

I want to build a user interface to allow the user to enter the text part of 
those strings, but to select the attribute names from a list or palette.  

 

Do you have any opinions about what would be a good / appropriate GeoServer way 
of accomplishing this task?  

 

I was thinking about doing the simplest thing that could possibly work, which 
seems to me might be similar to how the Proxy Base URL text input works

–allow the user to type the placeholder and other text into the field, maybe 
with a supporting select of attribute names.

 

Thank you!

 

Peter
