<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi Carl</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the answer is probably no, not in the way you want to do it
(ie. passing a mapid in the url for example)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the mapfile is read very very early by Cartoweb and the
consequence is one mapfile is linked to one project.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>so if you want to access more than one mapfile, you need to
have as many projects as you have of mapfiles.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>now it's quite easy to duplicate a project, expecially if the
only thing that change is the project name and the map id.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and projects can be selected with one parameter in the url for
example: client.php?project=demoPlugins</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>but that maybe be a bit more work than what you
want.</FONT></DIV>

beginner question</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>new to cartoweb but not to mapserver. I need to know if the following is
possible with Cartoweb or not. I need to be able to forward users to an
installation of Cartoweb from our site passing with them url parameters (a map
file name) to enable a specific map file to be used on the map server which
will contain a set of layers unique to them.</DIV>
<DIV>Is this possible, if so can anyone point me to the docs/how to that would
get me started?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Cheers</DIV>
