[Cartoweb-users] external link to a given extent

[Frederic Back]

Hello,

I need to provide an external, direct link to some of the features in my
map. When clicked, cartoweb should load and center on the given map
extent. 

I currently see two ways of implementing this:
     A. Pass the map extent through ENV and read it in
        Cartoclient::getInitialMapState
     B. Extend Cartoclient and overwrite getInitialMapState

Is there a better approach? How did you/would you implement this
feature?

Thanks,
Fred
