[mapserver-users] GetFeatureInfo layout in plain text

Thu Nov 10 07:44:43 PST 2016

Hi Yves,

from my point of view this isn't possible, templating in mapserver-WMS just works for HTML.

You would need an wrapper-script, which does some postprocessing/transforming with GFI-response (text) from mapserver - could be done with bash/perl/python/php whatever, maybe mapscript-engine (I'm not into this) or within Apache-Webserver (mod_sed ;-) ).

Most structured way would be rewriting GFI-request from text-format to gml-format within the receiving webserver, directing this request to mapserver (which would create gml-response), directing mapserver-response to xml-processor and transform to whatever you want and then let webserver deliver the response to the client...

Edit:

Jörg was faster, because of having a phonecall from one of his coworkers ;-) and also my post was blocked by the mailing-list caused by an attachment ☹ ,sorry, Jeff.

ArcGIS Desktop 10.x does show html-GFI, see attachment (image is clipped, it is a screenshot from within ArcGIS):

humm, good point, I need to check the output request from ArcGIS. The users said that for other service they get a table, so probably an html format.
Thanks,
Y.

so, what do you have to style? Perhaps you could create a text-format
output with templates to create a sort of ascii-tables, you don't have
to use html-tags within the templates. But in this case the request has
to be format=text/html.
