[Chameleon] finding locations and parsing session id

[Peter Thomann]

Thanks I didn't realize that I could just take the normal php session_id
So this problem is solved.
But a "find-location-widget" would be more suitable if it takes some
shapefiles cause they are already displayed in the map. If someone could
help me there didn't find any resource for it
