[Cartoweb-users] Re: $_ENV['CW3_PROJECT'], and other variables

[Alexandre Saunier]

Hello,

you may directly load a given CartoWeb "state" by calling CartoWeb URL 
with some special GET (or POST) parameters.

For CW3.3 see:
http://cartoweb.org/doc/cw3.3/xhtml/dev.newplugin.html#dev.newplugin.special.filters
CVS version has some extra parameters:
