If you aren't querying, you shouldn't need a template. All that you should need is a map/layer that can be served as a WMS. OpenLayers and the HTML page that you create to contain the OpenLayers map handle the layout.
You could start with a really simple example like this and point it at your WMS. http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.10/examples/lite.html David. -----Original Message----- From: Gerry Creager [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2011 10:50 AM To: Fawcett, David (MPCA) Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Simple mapserver HTML template file? I'm looking at that now. I need to understand the TEMPLATE element in the LAYER section, though. I created the basic mapfile using Qgis, and it's got a dummy value there. gc Fawcett, David (MPCA) wrote: > Gerry, > > I would really look at OpenLayers on the client side and MapServer WMS on the > server side. > > You could probably tweak one of the basic examples and have it up and running > in about 15 minutes. > > David. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gerry Creager > Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2011 9:38 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [mapserver-users] Simple mapserver HTML template file? > > I've been away from Mapserver for awhile and I'm having trouble wrapping > my head, quickly, around a template file for a simple application that > requires panning and zooming but no queries. > > Can anyone help a guy out on short notice?
