[mapserver-users] Template Questions (was How to get layer name in an identify template?)

Thanks, Steve. That certainly explains why bbox is available and not
specifically listed!

That's not to say the references are completely current. ;-) 

 

If you do run a across missing information or whatever it's easiest to just
file a ticket, or drop a note to the mailing list.

 

To answer your other questions:

 

.         [bbox] is not a standard template tag. However, if you set a
variable called "bbox" in your query request then that variable is available
in template output (HTML escaped first to prevent cross-site scripting).

.         [shpext] and other feature specific tags can only be used within a
[feature] block or in the old-style feature templates. Perhaps this can be
made clearer in the docs.

Thank you for the references, Steve.

 

I'm sure I've used "[bbox]" in a template which is not listed in the first
link. I think I also had some issues regarding where tags like "[shpext]"
can be used within or outwith the "[resultset layer=LayerName]" and
"[feature]" tags. I will need to revisit the work that I was doing since
I've put it on the back burner just now. I don't want to hi-jack this thread
which is now resolved. 

 

Regards,

 

Donald
