[mapguide-users] Querystring Parameters

[Jason Birch]

Each of the aspx files has a GetRequestParameters function which in most (all?) cases seems to call a GetParameters function.  This function handles the translation of query parameters into system variables, and by reading the code you can get a good idea of what parameters can be passed to the various web layout components.  
 
The one you're probably interested in is mainframe.aspx (line 598):
https://mapguide.osgeo.org/source/browse/mapguide/trunk/MgDev/Web/src/mapviewernet/mainframe.aspx?view=markup
 
Not much luck there, though.  The only additional variables that I can see are LOCALE, USERNAME and PASSWORD.  Ideally, all of the pre-set web layout parameters could be overridden with parameters sent to the mapframe.aspx file (line 205):
https://mapguide.osgeo.org/source/browse/mapguide/trunk/MgDev/Web/src/mapviewernet/mapframe.aspx?view=markup
 
I would imagine that Autodesk wants to keep feature equivalencies between the AJAX and HTML viewers, so maybe this is a non-starter.  It is open source, and as such... quite hackable.

It would be helpful if there were a documented list of QueryString parameters available to use. Parameters such as those used below like SESSION and WEBLAYOUT.  It seems that there would be more so that I could Query a map for an attribute and zoom to that attribute...

 

src="/mapguide/mapviewernet/ajaxviewer.aspx?SESSION=<%= sessionId %>&WEBLAYOUT=<%= webLayout %>" name="ViewerFrame"

 

Thanks.
