[Mapbender-users] Query Parameter for a specific external WMS

Thu Oct 30 12:01:55 EDT 2008

The problem must be elsewhere perhaps in my installation. Even the initial 
add_vendorspecific.php is not working if switched on.

The URL to the mapbender installation is:
kofserver2.gkss.de/mapbender

Temporary a user test with password test is created.

There are 3 GUIs available

testmitaddvendor: A test GUI with 2 WMS (demis and the UK stuff), but 
nothing is shown. The mod_add_vendorspecific.php is reset to the initial 
code.
test: Same GUI with add_vendorspecific switched off
Interrisk_recent: A real GUI with data in which the UK measurements should 
be included.

Best regards,
Gisbert
