[Chameleon] Enhanced widget pack

[Paul Spencer]

Joel,

The file LegendTemplatePopup.phtml file is probably not the one you 
want, that file displays the legend template in a popup dialog.  The 
file you want is the one that displays information about a layer when 
you click the layer name.  This file is LegendInfo.phtml. 
Unfortunately, this starts to get a bit complicated.  For historical 
reasons, this page doesn't actually display the information.  It really 
comes from

chameleon/htdocs/common/phpwms/layerinfo_body.phtml

So you really need to modify this file instead.  I just took a quick 
look in the file, it is kinda scary!  There is a bunch of code at the 
top of the page to get the information about a layer, it does some scary 
stuff relating to cached inforamation coming from DBF files which has 
nothing to do with your situation.  The real changes you will need to 
make start around line 312 with the opening <table> tag.  You'll need to 
scan this section looking for the <tr>s that display the information you 
don't want and removing those blocks.  Next I would suggest that you 
could add a hyperlink to the metadata section right in here :>

Cheers,

Paul
