[OpenLayers-Dev] Need Help Using Multiple Map Files

[Brian Krebs]

The mapName parameter is always correct based on the customerid that is
logged in, so there isn't a problem there.

I just noticed that if I delete the folders within the tmp folder:
$szBaseCacheDir =  "E:/qa/webapp/kamap/tmp/";

When I log in as customerid2, it creates a customerid1 folder within
that path instead of a customerid2 folder.  Even when I remove
customerid1 from the config.php, delete customerid1 folder from tmp and
then bring up the map again, it still creates a customerid1 folder and
map tiles.

Is something getting stuck in memory or what's happening here?

I don't think you gave enough context.

initializeMapStart takes a mapName parameter. This parameter defines
what map you'll see out of ka-Map. The computation of that mapName
variable seems to be the code that you need to be looking at. (If you
add "alert(mapName)" as the first line of initializeMapStart, it should
tell you what mapName is actually getting in there.)

If you can figure out why that mapName isn't what you expect, I think
you'll be on your way forward.
