[OpenLayers-Users] Pass parameters to mapfile

[Arnd Wippermann]

You can try to add the param to the url 
 
"http://gis.rtbi-iitm.in/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/customisation/map
file/customNR.map&userid=anID"

and in the mapfile try user_id='%userid%'. In special cases it is possible
per cgi-parameter manipulate the mapfile. I don't no if this case is one of
them.

Try the mapserver-list, because it is not an OpenLayers issue.

To retrieve more than one layer with OpenLayers WMS you use

{'layers' : 'NR_point,NR_polygon', 'transparent' : true, ... }, ...

a comma-separatet list as christopher mentioned.

Betreff: [OpenLayers-Users] Pass parameters to mapfile


I am using the following data in my mapfile

 DATA "the_geom from ( select * from customised_point AS f where
user_id='userid' AND f.subcat_id IN (select subcat_id from subcat_info where
maincat_id =0))AS foo USING UNIQUE gid"


I want the userid ( used in the above query) to be passed to map file at the
time of layer creation something like this....

wms[5] = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS.Untiled(
                  
"Customization","http://gis.rtbi-iitm.in/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/www/html/c
ustomisation/mapfile/customNR.map"
+ userid  ,{'layers': "NR_point",'transparent':"true"},{'layers':
"NR_polygon",'transparent':"true"},{'isBaseLayer':false} );

How to do that?

Thanks in advance :)

Cheers,
Reena.
