I understand. Thanks for the help, Dan!

Well, there's a few different version of <param>

The one that's under the map tags sets the parameter for that particular
layer.  It would look like this in a mapbook:

<map layer="Some Layer">
    <file>../mymapfile/or/something</file>
    <param name="QUERY" value="1"/>
</map>

In the services it's the same way, except that you simply add "moose:"
in front of it to specify the different namespace.

I've felt this a bit hackish all around, but it's worked, so I don't
really try to change it too much.  GM2 will have a more clear list of
capabilities, many of these types of functions were developed "spur of
the moment" and have had no retroactive documentation.

So then there is no place I can see a list of moose:params ?
Particularly how I can affect highlights / selections... Is it possible
to do this without specifying rectangular extents? I'd really like to
know all of the resources that are available... Thanks..

I apologize for not being too clear.. I can see how that works but what
I meant was for a list of parameters I can use to manipulate. For
instance, I am looking into multiple parcel select. I started to explore
the "moose:selected" tag, but it did not do what I expected. I know
think I will have to do various mapbooks and  vary the extents but I was
wondering if there were more functions than those displayed in the
select and buffer tools.

There is an intentional lack of documentation there, and that's because
it's a freakin' hack.

What happens when you return stuff from a service is this:
1) If it returns mapbook XML, then it processes it as if you've loaded
another mapbook, it can turn layers on, update them, etc.

2) If it returns HTML, it displays the HTML in the DIV, and then takes
commands from the <moose:mapbook>, it uses the different name space in
order to get the ease of HTML templating and get the power needed to do
two way communications between the Javascript client and the server-side
services.

Ok, well if it seems there is no up-to-date information regarding this
then how about the moose: tags returned from services?

Is there an up-to-date Mapbook Reference guide? I would like to see all
of the acceptable input types at the moment.

The "types" are actually deprecated.

They used to imply how the search results were called and processed.
The only type that is honoured any more is "xml-post" which you can see
an example of operation in the Print service, which actually posts XML
to print.php for output.

I am looking at the service definition located at GeoMoose's website.
http://www.geomoose.org/moose/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=
14&Itemid=29

 

I am trying to investigate the different parameters; particularly
'type'. I am looking at the Select Feature Service and notice the type
is "inspect-search". What is this? Are there more types than the 3
displayed on the site? Any help is appreciated..
