Re: [mapserver-users] GetFeatureInfo layout in plain text
Hi @all, thank you for that inspiration, Steve! This shows how valuable this list is... And sorry, Yves, for giving a wrong hint; but HTML-GFI within ArcGIS 10.2+ works, but be careful with embedded javascript and advanced css in html-template, ArcGIS doesn't like that much. Some thoughts on the Template-thing from Steve/Daniel: Regarding to Daniels reference to wms-server-documentation (http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html#how-does-a-wms-work), GFI-section: "text/html output using MapServer query templates (see Templating) specified in the CLASS TEMPLATE parameter (the filename has to have an .html extension). The MIME type returned by the Class templates defaults to text/html and can be controlled using the metadata “wms_feature_info_mime_type”. It looks like there's a "natural" binding between template and html output. As Daniel stated, this can be overridden with setting a other " wms_feature_info_mime_type" - OK so far. For example someone would now be using the template for individual text-plain output-styling and setting " 'wms_feature_info_mime_type' 'text/plain' ", what happens then, if a user requests the FeatureInfo in text/html, which is from my point of view the typical format? Mapserver wouldn't produce a valid html response anymore (because of the lack of an valid html-template), would it? Should GFI with HTML then be forbidden or are multiple templates for different outputformats possible? How would this work? Maybe I didn't fully understand Steve's hint and one of you can explain?

Re: [mapserver-users] GetFeatureInfo layout in plain text
Hi Yves, from my point of view this isn't possible, templating in mapserver-WMS just works for HTML. You would need an wrapper-script, which does some postprocessing/transforming with GFI-response (text) from mapserver - could be done with bash/perl/python/php whatever, maybe mapscript-engine (I'm not into this) or within Apache-Webserver (mod_sed ;-) ). Most structured way would be rewriting GFI-request from text-format to gml-format within the receiving webserver, directing this request to mapserver (which would create gml-response), directing mapserver-response to xml-processor and transform to whatever you want and then let webserver deliver the response to the client... Edit: Jörg was faster, because of having a phonecall from one of his coworkers ;-) and also my post was blocked by the mailing-list caused by an attachment ☹ ,sorry, Jeff.
