[mapserver-users] GetFeatureInfo - get wms_title
Hi, I use INFO_FORMAT=gml for a GetFeatureInfo request. It works, but I would like to get the wms_title instead of the layers name. In the UI people are seeing the title not the name. Showing the name of a layer is useless in our context. Is it possible to retreive the wms_title if it exists? thanks Steve ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

It seems that there is a nice undocumented feature to do what you want (I found it in the code just now): Add a wms_layername metadata to your layer definition and this value will be used as the layer name in the GetFeatureInfo GML output. (The default is to use the layer name + _layer (e.g. parks_layer for a layer named parks) Daniel -- Daniel Morissette http://www.mapgears.com/ ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
Re: [mapserver-users] GetFeatureInfo - get wms_title
Hi daniel, It seems that only the parameter NAME of the LAYER key is used by getFeatureInfo. the wms_name of the METADATA is not used. I tried to set wms_layername in the METADATA but I get an error and no response. I tried with wms_layer_name and the query's result still returns LAYER NAME Steve Daniel Morissette dmorisse...@mapgears.com@lists.osgeo.org Envoyé par : mapserver-users-boun...@lists.osgeo.org 2010-12-15 12:16 A mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org cc Objet Re: [mapserver-users] GetFeatureInfo - get wms_title steve.tout...@inspq.qc.ca wrote: Hi, I use INFO_FORMAT=gml for a GetFeatureInfo request.

wms_layername works. the given name should not have spaces in it. Otherwise the MGL is not valid.
