[mapserver-users] How can I get a customized MapCache folder structure with several dimensions as subfolders

[thomas bonfort]

Carola,

If you are willing to try out the master branch you can specify the keys in
the disk template as {dim:dimname}, I.e. in your case:

/path/{dim:year}/{dim:month}/etc..

Make sure to read the migration-guide.txt as the syntax to define
dimensions has changed a little.
