Hi Peter,
Some time ago, I had written a small extension to manage the freemarker
templates from the UI. At the time, it did not meet a great success, but
I've recently had manifestations of interest from the geOrchestra
community, so I'll probably resurrect it, during this spring (when I get
a moment for it), and try to make it adopted as community extension.
You might want to have a look:
https://github.com/pi-geosolutions/geoserver/tree/2.15.x.template-editor/src/community/template-editor
Doc page
https://github.com/pi-geosolutions/geoserver/blob/2.15.x.template-editor/doc/en/user/source/community/template-editor/index.rst
Last time I worked on it, it was GeoServer 2.15, but I don't expect to
need a lot of changes to make it work on latest version
Best,
Jean

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
