[Geomoose-users] URL parameters

Wed Feb 9 07:07:32 EST 2011

Hello again,

took a stab at this and I have set up two cookies for the purpose of passing
across my values for the mapbook I want to use and building the file name to
be used from two elements which are separated with an underscore.

I have replaced the getmapbook function with the new code as follows:

function getMapbook() {
        global $CONFIGURATION;
        $mapbook = new DOMDocument();

       if($_COOKIE['UU_MAPBOOK']) {

 $mapbook->load('../../conf/'.$_COOKIE['UU_USERID']'_'.$_COOKIE['UU_MAPBOOK']'.xml');
        # $mapbook->load('../../conf/'.$CONFIGURATION['mapbook']);

       } else {
        # load the default...
        $mapbook->load('../../conf/'.$CONFIGURATION['mapbook']);
       }
        return $mapbook;
  }

This results in an empty application (not showing any layers or toolbar),
first thing I did was to check the cookies
I guess I have something wrong in the way that I build up the file name as
the mapbook is not called, I know that the code is seeing the cookie and
have tested this by simply putting in a test file name instead of the values
from the cookies and then the mapbook is read and the application works.

So the error lies here I think:

$mapbook->load('../../conf/'.$_COOKIE['UU_USERID']'_'.$_COOKIE['UU_MAPBOOK']'.xml');

anybody see my error?

Many thanks

Carl
