[mapserver-users] Accessing MetaData from templates

[Stephen Lime]

Use substitution strings of the form:

  [layername_fieldname]

So if you have metadata like this in a layer named 'test':

  METADATA
    'title'    'This is a test layer!'
  END

then [test_title] should be replaced with 'This is a test layer!'. 

Web level metadata is not currently accessible using this scheme, although I could add that
support easily. Something like: [web_fieldname].

Hello,

I recall asking this, but I searched and I searched through the mailing list
archives without success ...

How do I access Web-level and Layer-level Metadata for use in templates?

Thank you,
