[Question]: Unclear documentation for third party WMS

[vvmruder]

What is the question? (in English)

There is an option to fetch content of third party WMS directly instead of routing it through the lizmap-qgis-server-stack. It is documented here: https://docs.lizmap.com/current/en/publish/lizmap_plugin/layers.html

One thing is, that I am not able to access the checkbox. The docs state it is available in the Third Party WMS layers group. I did create that and put an external layer into it. However I'm not able to access the checkbox:

My qgis project is in EPSG:2056 and the WMS layer is as well.

What is the suggested way to make this work?

I have transferred the issue to the plugin side.

Can you copy/paste your WMS datasource ? Layer properties → Info (masking some private data if needed)

I will make a quick refactoring on that side.

[vvmruder]

Thx for yout reply.

What properties you mean exactly? The ones in the cfg file? Or from QGIS Project? Or the service URL?

[Gustry]

It should be te same, no ?
Your layer datasource, the one we can see in QGIS → Layer properties of your layer→ Information tab, at the top.

[vvmruder]

Ah of course. Sorry for the confusion. Its an open service so you can try it out with it.
