[mapserver-users] GetFeatureInfo layout in plain text

[Lime, Steve D (MNIT)]

This should be possible. Templates are not limited to HTML output, any text based format should be able to be created. You do this through output formats. Here's an example for plain text:

 OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME 'plain-text'
    DRIVER 'TEMPLATE'
    MIMETYPE 'text/plain'
    FORMATOPTION "FILE=templates/plain.tmpl"
    FORMATOPTION 'ATTACHMENT=myfile.txt'
  END

The template file's extension is really irrelevant to what's being delivered back to the client - the mimetype sets that. I don't recall of the top of my head how you expose this type via WMS but I think that's pretty straight forward.

Subject: [mapserver-users] GetFeatureInfo layout in plain text

Hello,

I have to setup a text format for a WMS' GetFeatureInfo service. I would like 
to know if it is possible to change the layout using a template.

My first test was not working so any feedback is welcome. The documentation 
said that the user should read the templating chapter so I guess this is 
possible.

Any confirmation?

Y.
