Partially I can use it to map usertypes. But the biggest challenge is
the fact that the layer is created by dynamically selecting objects
from a postGIS database. So the DATA parameter in the Mapfile is
dynamic:<br>
DATA 'the_geom from select * from sketch_points where pointsetID = %X%
as skpt USING unique sketch_id' where %X% is replaced by a variable.<br>
<br>
This is repeated for a set of 8 layers.<br>
<br>
Basically I would like to program to operate like this:<br>
<br>
- User accesses the URL and a general map of the world is shown (ready)<br>
(user specific sequence)<br>
- User logs in: a pull-down box for a map for that user comes
available. a second pull-down comes available that presents the user
with the option to select a theme ((ready, but not yet user-specific)<br>
- In the pull-down a default map is selected, user zooms automatic
to the bbox of that map (already implemented; uses a view in the
postGIS db containing the BBOX with a buffer)<br>
- Layers come available in the themes dialog. Default the user
specific layers get turned on. (to be implemented)<br>
- User selects a theme in a second pull-down box -> a thematic
layer should be created and shown<br>
(end of sequence)<br>
- User selects another map<br>
- for the map that was already open the user specific layers should be
removed, the user specific sequence is ran again.<br>
- Users should also be able to switch themes<br>

[Cartoweb-users] MapFile based upon user credentials</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hello list!<br>
<br>
I want my mapfile to have layers based upon user credentials. For
instance:<br>
- A user logs in to the system. The moment the user logs in, a specific
postGIS database should be accessed for certain fixed layers. Within
the query to access the layer, a parameter pointsetID is introduced
restricting the user to only get points that validate with the
pointsetID should get returned.<br>
<br>
My feeling tells me to use the mapOverlay, but it is not to well
documented.<br>
<br>
Any tips or tricks?<br>
