[mapserver-dev] Image Assets for OGC API Templates...

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

True on 2... it does work, at least for the logo. Will need to try the favicon.

IMHO, option 2 would be totally isolated and portable  And it would
work in protected/environments.  If that's too esoteric, then option 1 (we could
have a base path var in the templates, but yes the user needs to web enable
them somehow).

Hi all: We'd like to incorporate some image assets (logo, favicon) into the HTML templates for OGC API responses - make things look nice. I see 3 options:


  1.  Distributing those assets with the templates as files - requires making them web accessible and probably would require template edits by a user.
  2.  Use base64 encoded image URLs. Bloats the templates a bit but at least it's isolated in a shared header.
  3.  Reference those assets at a stable location - preferably at mapserver.org<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmapserver.org%2F&data=04%7C01%7Csteve.lime%40state.mn.us%7C3c42e7fcd2b441aba23408d972fdf45b%7Ceb14b04624c445198f26b89c2159828c%7C0%7C0%7C637667258196621060%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C2000&sdata=sMseWIZJU%2BNOZh0OG5CBlE6L2BXN%2BPh2RS9tVTiqEk4%3D&reserved=0>.
I guess I'd prefer option 3 if possible but 2 could work. Thoughts?
