[mapguide-users] RE: passing parameter from url

[kencana kesuma]

Hi Farah,

Thanks for the reply and explanation.
what i mean is actually, i want to let user type the postal code parameter,
in the url while they want to open a web (map) layout.
as you can see,
usually, when you open a map web layout you just type the following url:
"http://localhost/mapguide/mapviewerajax/?WEBLAYOUT=Library%3a%2f%2fWeb%2fSG+Trial.WebLayout&LOCALE=en"
which you only pass the weblayout source and the locale parameter.
so, what i mean is, is that possible to add more querystring into the url 
and pass that parameter
into the task pane?like the folowing url
"http://localhost/mapguide/mapviewerajax/?WEBLAYOUT=Library%3a%2f%2fWeb%2fSG+
Trial.WebLayout&LOCALE=en&<b>postal=123456</b>"
i have try by modifying the mainframe.php/jsp but it gave me no luck.
i don't know why it can pass the postal value to the task pane.
I was wondering maybe you know the solution.

Regards,
Kencana
