[Geomoose-users] URL parameters

[Dan Little]

Good morning (at least for me, you're probably trying to leave the office about 
now)!

GM2.2 doesn't directly support passing in a mapbook parameter as did the 1.X 
series.  The reason for this is three-fold:
1) It wasn't a terribly popular functionality.
2) It was a gaping security hole.
3) It requires all of the subsequent services to know they need to switch 
mapbooks.

There are some options, and they all center around modifying the getMapbook 
function of config.php.  Two popular solutions:
1) Parser the "referrer url" from the HTTP header and get the mapbook parameter 
from that.
2) Read a cookie for a login/authorization schema and select the appropriate 
mapbook.
