We really need to add a way of controlling query results in the default query results dialog, metadata seems reasonable (perhaps a new attribute on the query widget to indicate the name of a metadata field that contains the field names would be the right thing to do?) MapServer uses "result_fields" metadata. It would be ideal to maintain some consistency with MapServer's method so map files can be re-used without changes.
I agree it would be a nice enhancement. Probably in 2.3. Setting to FUTURE.For now there's the query customisation page to help. http://chameleon.maptools.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=QueryWidgetCustomizingResults You can also check the new LinkQuery widget. It's a regular query widget, except that it opens a custom page (home made) to display your result.
Any movement or potential plans for addressing this? My customising code isn't working too well, but before I review it, I just wanted to check this.
You can already specify a HEADER in the layer. HEADER "NAME^Name|UNIQUE_KEY^Key" Or directly in the widget: <CWC2 Type="Query"...> <TABLEHEADER LAYER="popplace" HEADER="NAME^Name|UNIQUE_KEY^Key"/> </CWC2> Does that meet the requirement of this bug? Can we mark it as fixed?
