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 /><br /></span></font></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="'font-size: "> </span></font></p></div></div><pre>_______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users</pre></blockquote></td></tr></tbody></table><br /></blockquote></p>
