<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hey Folks,</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am working on a plugin that wants to take the result and pass it to other plugins.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">One plugin is the WMS tool… OK it may no longer be a plugin but that is how I am considering it.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am playing with the OGC CSW spec to make a CSW client for inside QGIS...</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">What I want to do is this. From a python plugin I want to</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1. Create a new WMS server connection by passing a name and url combo to the WMS tool</FONT></SPAN>
<BR><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2. have the dialog pop up with the new server connection populated and layers displayed.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">That way all the user needs to do is choose the layers they wish to add and then click ADD.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This is in the hopes the CSW client can exploit other service specific tools/plugins.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any thoughts?</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">P.S I assume this is a user question and not a developer question as this is dealing with scripts and not QGIS core.</FONT></SPAN>
</P>
<P><SPAN LANG="en-ca"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Cheers</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN>
