[Cartoweb-users] several shortcuts..

Fri Jan 27 01:49:15 EST 2006

Both solution are possible, but the 2nd is probably the easiest.

Simply define some initialMapStates bbox in the "your_project_name".ini file
in server_conf
mapInfo.initialMapStates.default.location.bbox =
"531800,149000,547000,163600"
mapInfo.initialMapStates.place1.location.bbox =
"431800,139000,547000,153600"
mapInfo.initialMapStates.place2.location.bbox =
"331800,129000,527000,143600"
...

and call it via url with parameter ?initialState=place1 or place2 or ...

client
http://www.cartoweb.org/doc_head/docbook/xhtml/user.config.html#user.config.
server.maps_config.initial

you can also define a list of shortcuts to locations of your choices, see
