Hi Carl

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

regards
Oliver

  Subject: [Cartoweb-users] Cartoweb beginner question


  Hi, 


  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.
  Is this possible, if so can anyone point me to the docs/how to that would get 
me started?


  Cheers


  Burnsy
