[Geomoose-users] URL parameters

[Carl Burn]

Hi,

mid afternoon here, still a while to go before I head off...and I think that
may be extended so I can resolve this one.

I am passing in the parameter for map book every time a user accesses
geomoose as they all have unique files...and just to be really fun they are
likely to be unique on every visit, so I am generating a mapbook on the fly
as the user attempts to access geomoose.

Not to sure I understand what you mean by 1 or 2 but I think I may head over
and get a copy of 1.x

Cheers

Carl
