[Cartoweb-users] Creating a filter plugin

[Dirk Jesko]

Hello Oliver,

resetting query results works. Thanks for the hint.
One last issue. I made the filter plugin Sessionable in order to store 
the information. Unfortunately, the information is still lost after 
logging out and logging in again. I already looked at the LayerReorder 
and Outline plugins, which are reset to their previous state after 
logging in again. But I can not find out, why my plugins data is reset. 
Is there any other interface that needs to be implemented to achieve this?

Regards,
Dirk
