[Cartoweb-users] Plugins Communication for dynamic map creation

[Oliver Christen]

Hi
the mapOverlay plugin is not intended to interact directly with GET parameters, it is more like a toolbox you can access to generate or modify layers from within a custom plugin you will have to do.
Dirk Jesko posted a nice example some months ago on the mailing list http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/cartoweb-users/2007-June/002574.html
You can easily recover any GET parameter via filter in your custom plugin and then use mapOverlay to do what you want with them.

regards
Oliver

  Hi,

  I'm developing a webGIS application which needs to create a layer on a map dynamically (thematic layer
  I have read the documentation about the dynamic mapfile modification and I was wondering if the mapOverlay plugin can receive GET parameters.
  In case it is not possible, could I use the filter plugin to receive these parameters and pass them to the mapOverlay plugin for the layer creation?


  Thank you very much,

  Best Regards,
  Albert Casanovas
