[Geomoose-users] How to use multiple mapbook?

Mon Jan 16 13:44:26 EST 2012

The solution given in the wiki is a little terse.  I assume when you say 
"load only a few mapbook" you mean only a few map-sources.

Basically it suggests (for your case) you create three copies (one for 
each of your type of user) of geomoose.html and do a slight modification 
to change them into PHP scripts:

geomoose_superuser.php
geomoose_mrc.php
geomoose_user.php

When the person logs in, they would be given a link to one of the files 
above, depending on which group they belong to (you need to write the 
code to do that).

In each of the above files (mostly consisting of the original 
geomoose.html), put a little bit of PHP to set the name of the geomoose 
ini file

geomoose_superuser.php:

<?php
   session_start();
   $_SESSION['settings'] = 'superuser_settings.ini';
?>
<html>
:

geomoose_mrc.php:

<?php
   session_start();
   $_SESSION['settings'] = 'mrc_settings.ini';
?>
<html>
:

geomoose_user.php:

<?php
   session_start();
   $_SESSION['settings'] = 'user_settings.ini';
?>
<html>
:

Now create the three ini files named in the geomoose*.php files above, 
and edit them to point to three mapbook XML files.  Create the three 
mapbook XML files giving the user access to the map-sources you want 
them to see.

The new config.php file shown in the wiki will get the appropriate ini 
filename from the session variable set in the geomoose* php script.  It 
uses the ini file to look up the right mapbook XML file to send to the 
user's browser.
