[Geomoose-users] where to look for errors - Trouble with URLs

[Dan Little]

Sacha,

There are two different bugs, can you send the Mapbook fragment defining the WMS service? I think it may have a typo that is putting in the extra semi-colon.

The other problem can be fixed in two ways:
1) Set the layer status to "default."  In GM 1.X this is the typical way of defining a layer.
2) Set the "layers" param in the <map> tag...
<map title="Something" ...>
<file>...</file>

<param name="layers" value="mylayername"/>

</map>
