[Chameleon] Enhanced widget pack

[Paul Spencer]

Joel,

The popup is provided by the LegendTemplate widget, the code for the 
popup is in chameleon/htdocs/widgets/LegendTemplate/LegendTemplate.phtml

The popup was designed to show information about WMS layers.  In 
particular, the abstract and metadata urls from WMS layers are normally 
recorded as metadata on the layer.  I don't think the widget cares if 
the layer is WMS or not, but it will look specifically for:

METADATA
   "wms_abstract" "the abstract for this layer"
   "wms_metadataurl" "not sure if this is right, check the WMS howto :)"
END

So the quick fix would be to modify your map file to add this 
information.  If you are not happy with the layout, you could also edit 
this file to get exactly what you want.

Cheers,

Paul
