Detailed description and tags per template/layout in capabilities.json

[g-tom]

Hi,

in order to build an enhanced template selection in a mapfish-print client application, it would be nice to have the possibility to define a detailed description and eventually a list of tags per template, which could be used to be displayed to the user respectively for sorting/filtering and the like.

Maybe the description and tags could be integrated as configuration elements for templates and send to the client along with name and attributes of each layout in the capabilities.json.

Any thoughts/known obstacles?

Regards, Tom

Hi Tom,

No, I don't see any obstacle to that. I'd say something along the lines of adding an optional "metadata" section in the "templates" sections of the config.yaml file should be fine. That can then be included in the corresponding section of the capabilities answer.
