[Geomoose-users] User id

Sure, probably just need to document what is actually captured for user settings with the new tool and how to add it to the mapbook.
Just thinking out loud here but we almost need a page/s that describes all the tools that are in the GeoMOOSE 2.4 version. With examples on how to configure them in the mapbook and limitations/history of the tool.  Probably divide it up between client-side tools (JavaScript), like measure and Services (server-side tools) like select.
Not sure if this is better to put all on one page or separate pages dedicated to each tool/widget that is in the GeoMOOSE core code.  We already have a page for tools/widgets that are not part of the core code but are considered user extensions (http://www.geomoose.org/wiki/index.php/User_Extension).
So we really end up with 3 categories of possible tools/widgets people can use in GeoMOOSE:

1)      Tools/Widgets that are part of the core code. (http://www.geomoose.org/wiki/index.php/Documentation)

2)      Tools/Widgets that are community contributed  as user extensions (http://www.geomoose.org/wiki/index.php/User_Extension)

3)      Tools/Widgets that are community contributed as code snippets (http://www.geomoose.org/wiki/index.php/User_Tips/Code_Snippets)
Just trying to think of a way to logically organize all the possible tools/widgets so users can find them in the wiki.  Thoughts?  Probably should also start this discussion in a new thread with appropriate subject line.

Brian

Do you want me to document this on the WIKI?

The code for the bookmark sessions is in the GeoMOOSE SVN trunk.  You would have to download it and patch it in yourself or what until GeoMOOSE 2.4 is released (not sure when).   I don’t think it is really documented anywhere, but here is the tool definition in the mapbook.

                                                <tool name="bookmark" title="Bookmark this Session" type="javascript" selectable="false">
                                                                GeoMOOSE.bookmark();
                                                </tool>

Hi Dean,

that sounds like it might pretty much do the job with very little modification, is this something I can download and install.

Once again thanks to all for the responses.

We have a "bookmark" tool which allows users to save basic settings such as the last selected set, mapextent and which layers are turned off or on.  The bookmark is printed in the results tab and can be used as a book mark, e-mailed, etc. We use this to support different groups or individuals within the county so that their default views are saved and accessible.   This might be modified to fit what you may need.

Carl,

On way is to save it as a session variable in your server-side scripting.  However if your existing site (where they log in) and your new mapping site are on different servers, you'll need to do something else.

Best Regards,

Hello all,

I have my app working in geomoose and am getting the layers working thanks to a lot of help from the list. I have another question for the list, again it may be a dumb one but here goes.

My users will access the app from a site that already exists and will do so once logged in, I can pass across a user id on the url (as part of the query string) or as a form variable. The users will then make whatever changes to the map they need (turning layers on and off) and save those changes, I plan to do this by saving into a database and along with the map layer information I would need to save the user id from the url so I can pair up users with their saved map details later on when they are back in the main site.

Is there a recognised way to do this in geomoose or does anyone have any suggestions.

Best

Carl
