Changing layer templates on the fly

[Fawcett, David]

Xin, 
 
I assume that you are really are using MapServer 4.6. If you are
actually using version 2.6 I suggest that you upgrade for many, many
reasons.  
 
Take a look at TEMPLATEPATTERN
http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/mapObj#templatepattern
 
In your mapfile, you need to set a template pattern that will match your
template name.  You are not able to substitute template names through
the URL unless you set an appropriate templatepattern.  
 
David.

fly
	
	
	Hi,
	
	I'm using MapServer 2.6 via CGI, it's working really well.
After reading about changing attributes on-the-fly via CGI parameters
I've been hooked on it.  Changing everything from layer tolerance
(map_mylayer_tolerance=10) to templates
(map_mylayer_template=file.html).  But for the life of me, I can't
figure out how to change header templates! It simply doesn't work.
	
	I've tried searching in the mailing list, but there is nothing.
map_mylayer_header=header.html just doesn't work.  Specifying the header
attribute in the mapfile works file, but I'd rather change it
dynamically.  I realise the layer portion is case-sensitive, so that's
not the problem.
	
	Your help is greatly appreciated.
	
	Xin
