Dinamically changing HTML Template using CGIparameter? (instead of hardcoded)</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:#333333'>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).<br>
<br>
The print page (PACITAN-PRINT-TMPL.HTML) is called from the
"primary" template page using JavaScript window.open() function. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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:<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
-Kresh<br>
