<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Hi Julian: You might try the [items] and [values] template tags combined with a little JavaScript. Those tags output a delimited list of items and values for a feature or set of features. You could split the output into arrays and display however you like. The attributes are just slammed together into 1 comma delimited string, so this approach won't work if your attribute data contains commas I fear. The same template in theory could be used for any layer then... You could use new-style templates (e.g. Via output formats) with template includes and handle this with 2 files- the main template and the shared include...</div><div><br></div><div>I notice those tags aren't documented so I'll create a ticket to do so. Should also probably enhance those tags, at least the values one, to take some simple formatting options.</div><div><br></div><div>Steve<br><br>Sent from my iPad</div><div><br>On Sep 14, 2011, at 8:39 AM, "Hollingbery, Julian" <<a href="mailto:julho@kms.dk">julho@kms.dk</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<p><font size="2" face="Arial">Hi list,</font>
</p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">I too want to serve GetFeatureInfo requests. However, I wonder if it is necessary to have a template per layer, when all I want to do is "show all attribute values in a HTML table". The thing is, I have a handful of services with approx. 40 layers in each. Each layer has on average a dozen attributes, so all in all, I am looking to simplify maintenance of 2000 HTML table cells. Has anyone done anything in a script or otherwise, so that one can use the same template file on layers with varying attribute lists?</font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial">I am considering utilising the fact that a TEMPLATE statement can reference a URL: I imagine that this might refer to a PHP-script, which takes e.g. a database table name, and returns a HTML response with the column names. Has anyone done anything like this?</font></p>
