[Cartoweb-users] retrieve layers for the mapfile

[Alexandre Saunier]

Hello,

client-side:
------------
- in handleHttpPostRequest(), set a class property with the value of 
exampleSelecting

- in buildRequest(), instanciate the plugin request class (to write in 
the common/ part of the plugin - have a look for instance at the outline 
plugin common/ part) and insert your exampleSelecting value in order to 
send it to the server part

- handleResult() and initializeResult() are only useful if you want to 
handle the server part response. Else you may leave them empty.

server-side:
-------------
- $request is the plugin request object you have sent from the 
client-side with buildRequest()

- depending on the request class you wrote, retrieve you raster filename 
  in for instance $request->exampleSelecting

- in handlePreDrawing(), write for instance:
$layer->data = $request->exampleSelecting
"the_new_raster_file_path" in my previous example was just a comment on 
what to put in $layer->data
