URL Startup Arguments

GeoMOOSE has a number of parameters that can change its startup behavior.

debug

Sets whether GeoMOOSE is in debug mode. Set this parameter to any non-zero value in order to see additional logging information. This is really only useful for development and should probably only be used in conjunction with a “_dev.html” file.

extent

Sets a different startup extent. The extent should be formatted as min-x,min-y,max-x,max-y in the ground units of the map. Example:

geomoose.html?extent=-180,-90,180,90

mapbook

Bypass php/getmapbook.php. By default GeoMOOSE will read the mapbook from the file system using getmapbook.php, other installations, especially those needing to serve multiple mapbooks can do so by setting the mapbook parameter. Example:

geomoose.html?mapbook=../mapbooks/wms_only.xml

off

Turns off default layers. Uses GeoMOOSE’s path convention. Example:

geomoose.html?off=parcels/parcels;county/all

on

Turns on layers. This follows the same form as the off parameter but turns layers on.
