[Geoserver-users] Need help using Freemarker templates

Hey. Currently we've created a content.ftl in the directory of one of our featuretypes,. (geoserver/data/featureTypes/indicator is the path).

In this folder we have just the info.xml and content.ftl.

On a standard wms get feature info the following is an example of what is returned:
Results for FeatureType 'ptrs_Indicator1': -------------------------------------------- the_geom = [GEOMETRY (MultiPolygon) with 49 points] country_id = 37 country_name = Chad dept_id = 40900 reg_code = null status_color = null category_caption = null category_id = null --------------------------------------------

We just want to return the dept_id part so dept_id = 40900 in this case.
What do we need to do in our content template to list just the dept_id? I used this but it didn't seem to work:
<ul>
<#list features as feature>
<li>dept_id ${feature.dept_id}</li>
</#list>
</ul>

Thanks,
-Ali

Hi Ali,

Using ${feature.dept_id.value} should do the trick.

Hey. Tried the solution but I still get all the values. this is what i get when i click on a country
Results for FeatureType 'ptrs_Indicator1': -------------------------------------------- the_geom = [GEOMETRY (MultiPolygon) with 48 points] country_id = 161 country_name = Niger dept_id = 43100 reg_code = 43100 status_color = red category_caption = Adult Females category_id = 1 --------------------------------------------

Am I missing a file or doing something wrong? Do I need to edit the catalog or services file or add something special into the URL that is retrieved? Right now when a user clicks the map the following URL is called.
                var url = "http://dev.myunfpa.org/geoserver/wms?bbox=&quot;\+ptrs\_Indicator1\.map\.getExtent\(\)\.toBBOX\(\)\+&quot;&amp;style=Indicator&amp;format=jpeg&amp;info\_format=text/plain&amp;request=GetFeatureInfo&amp;layers=geodb:\#view\_name\#&amp;query\_layers=geodb:ptrs\_Indicator1&amp;width=700&amp;height=362&amp;x=&quot;\+e\.xy\.x\+&quot;&amp;y=&quot;\+e\.xy\.y;

Do I need to change or add something to tell it to use content.ftl?

Hi Ali,

I should have asked this earlier but what version of GeoServer are you
using? Is it 1.5.2 or greater?

Hey. Trying to output in text/html so as to use the .ftl settings however now i get this error:

Could not locate FeatureTypeConfig 'ptrs_Indicator1' Could not locate FeatureTypeConfig 'ptrs_Indicator1'

The query being used is this:
http://dev.myunfpa.org/geoserver/wms?HEIGHT=300&SRS=EPSG%3A4326&WIDTH=800&STYLES=&LAYERS=indicator&FORMAT=image%2Fpng&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetFeatureInfo&EXCEPTIONS=application%2Fvnd.ogc.se_xml&BBOX=-15.644531%2C-10.475548%2C124.980469%2C42.258827&X=595&Y=68&INFO_FORMAT=text%2Fhtml&QUERY_LAYERS=indicator&FEATURE_COUNT=50&srs=EPSG%3A4326&styles=&layers=indicator

Interestingly if I ask for text/plain for the info_fomrat it gives back the data with no problems.
I should add I am using a MySQL Backend is this a possible reason?

Thanks,
Ali

Hi Ali,

Strange... From the request it appears the name of the layer is
"inidcator" but the message indicates "ptrs_Indicator1".

I tried to access your server but i got forwarded to another screen
asking for a username and password. Is it visible from the outside?

Also. can you include the entire stack trace of the exception. Thanks.

Its a secure server I'll look into getting a temporary user set up maybe.

The Style is indicator. the layer itself is ptrs_Indicator1 not sure if that makes a difference. below is the entire xml error.

Another question, we use an SSO Server. When calling WMS does it do any sort of call back to itself? Our Sysadmin thinks it might be an issue of the server blocking the callback.

That would be helpful. I think I will need a bit more info to diagnose
this one.

There can be. If your request specifies a remote SLD being published by
the same geoserver instance then one http request will make another. But
general no. There are cases in which output occurs with links back the
original server.
