Hi Kresh,
In Mapserver 4.x the method is slightly different. You can use : map_web_template=othertemplate.html Regards, Wim Blanken -----Original message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 06/06/08 05:45:14 To: Wim Blanken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Subject: RE: [mapserver-users] Dinamically changing HTML Template using CGIparameter? (instead of hardcoded) Hi, thank you, Wim. I'm using ms4w 4.4.0 by the way, but I'll definitely try the methods you've mentioned.

Changing the main map template goes with cgi (mapserver 5) i believe as follows: ..&map_web=TEMPLATE+othertemplate.html Sorry for the inconvenience . Wim Blanken The Netherlands Van:[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens [EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden:Tuesday, June 03, 2008 5:16 PM Aan:[email protected] Onderwerp:[mapserver-users] Dinamically changing HTML Template using CGIparameter? (instead of hardcoded) I have one mapfile, let say, PACITAN.MAP, with two template files: PACITAN-TMPL.HTML and PACITAN-PRINT-TMPL.HTML. The former is the "primary" template for the normal web map display, while the latter has "cleaner look" for printing purpose (print page). The print page (PACITAN-PRINT-TMPL.HTML) is called from the "primary" template page using JavaScript window.open() function. When calling the print page, I can easily pass (and manipulate, if necessary) map-related information using CGI parameters. For example, layer information (ie which layers are selected) is passed with layers=[layers] CGI parameter, while extent information is passed with mapext=[minx], [miny], [maxx], [maxy] parameter. The problem is: since the name of HTML template is hard-coded in the *.map file, I have to create another map file named PACITAN-PRINT.MAP, which is basically an exact copy of PACITAN.MAP, but using PACITAN-PRINT-TMPL.HTML as template (hard-coded in the mapfile, of course). If I can dynamically change the name of the HTML template using CGI parameters, I don't have to use two versions of mapfile; I can just use one mapfile with two HTML templates and be done with it. The problem is; is it possible to pass the name of the HTML template using CGI parameters? And if it is, then how? I have browsed MapServer documentations and this is all I found: TEMPLATE has been removed, since the map_web_template syntax can be used to alter a template file. Simplifies security maintenance by only having to deal with this option in a single place. Note that the TEMPLATEPATTERN of the mapfile has to be used to enable this feature. However, save the vague reference above, I just could not find any other explanation about the map_web_template syntax above. Is it a CGI parameter? Can I just use the map_web_template parameter in my url, to specify which template to use?
