[Chameleon] MetadataURL

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi list,

I read on the Mapserver list that the MetadataURL will probably be a 
target for the Mapserver 4.2 release.

Will the metadataURL also be useable in Chameleon (PHP/Mapscript)?

I assume there will be another wms_ metadata variable (like wms_title) 
which can be used, for example in the Legend Template.

This will allow the possibility to have a link in the LegendTemplate 
around the layer title which pops up the metadata (identified by the 
MetadataURL) with a simple piece of javascript.

Another possibility would be to have the metadata downloaded together with 
the zip (or tar.gz) file which is the result of the ExtractWFSData widget.

Is my assumption right that it will be possible to build this kind of 
functionality in Chameleon in the near future, or won't the MetadataURL be 
accessible in PHP/Mapscript / Chameleon?

BTW: will Mapserver 4.2 and Chameleon 2.0 (and even Maplab 3.0 perhaps) 
have the same release date?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Bart
