The confurl value needs to be url encoded. In php, the function urlencode will convert the url safely http://uk2.php.net/urlencode

For example, your url becomes config.php%3Flat%3D37%26long%3D107

Hi Mikel (or someone else)

 I am very new to this PHP (2 days now) and to worldkit so I am not sure if this is a "me been a bad coder" or a bug with worldkit.

 I seem to be having problems passing a "&" or "&" through the <confurl> option.

 It seems to only pass the URL up to the &.  I have tried using both "&" and "&amp:" and still get the same problem.

 so in the HTML I use,
 worldkit.swf?confurl=config.php?lat=37&long=107
 or
 worldkit.swf?confurl=config.php?lat=37&long=107

 But is seems to only request
 ..../config.php?lat=37

 Grrrrrrrr

 Check it out for yourself

 I am trying to get this to work
 http://www.wildwalks.com/maps/map.php?lat=37&long=107
 But I can't get the hard coded HTML version to work first.
 (I have made a dynamicaly created config.php and rss.php they seem to work when I pass the variables)

 Thanks for your time

 Matt  :)

Yes, I see it may be overkill to build a seperate RSS feed for every page. 

My first thought was that you could use _javascript to pass in a bit of GeoRSS to worldKit, with the JRSSComm variable  http://worldkit.org/doc/_javascript.php#to .. However, since it's not possible to know when worldKit has completed loading and can respond to JRSSComm , this won't necessarily work. What worldKit should do is trigger a _javascript event when it's completed loading .. but that would take a little coding. 

I think your idea of using a small php script is the most simple without doing any coding in worldKit .. a bit convoluted but simple. Set dataurl to "georss.php?lat=#&long=#". The php code would be pretty simple, just echoing those two arguments within a RSS block.

 HI Mikel

 Thanks for you reply.

 My last e-mail was not very clear - sorry about that.

 I was wanting to have a different location map for each page of my website.  A map of the world, with one single dot marking the location of the current article (campsite, bushwalk, national park etc)  there will be many hundreds of these pages.  

 I note that you can call worldkit with a URL to get data from a query, "dataurl=".  I was wanting a similar function but to be able to enter the data directly.  eg "geodata="  

 So I could do something like this.

  <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase=" http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0 " WIDTH="800" HEIGHT="400" id="worldkit">
<param NAME=movie VALUE="worldkit.swf ?geodata=lat-32.01501&long100.5220">
<param NAME=quality VALUE="high"> 
<param NAME=bgcolor VALUE="#000000">

<embed src="worldkit.swf ?geodata=lat-32.01501&long100.5220" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" WIDTH="800" HEIGHT="400" NAME="worldkit" ALIGN="" TYPE="application/x-shockwave-flash" PLUGINSPAGE="  http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed>
</object>

 I guess one one to do this is for me to learn a bit of PHP and create a PHP file that creates a xml file when I pass a similar URL to it.  but I guess I am been lazy  :)

Thanks for your compliments. The bushwalking website sounds cool. 

You should only have to create one RSS feed for the entire map, rather than one for each location.

I'm not sure if that's your question or not. Please explain more if this isn't what you're after.  

Cheers
Mikel

Subject: [worldKit-dev] Location dot without  rss.xml

 Hi

 I love worldkit - I have been playing with it for the last few days and I am very impressed - good work.

 I am building a bushwalking website (trail notes, location of campsite and weather information etc) and this tool will be very handy.

 One thing I was hopeing to do was to have a picture of the world with a dot on it for each article, to give it's location.  I was hopeing to do this without having to create an xml document for each site.

 Is it possible to call worldkit with a url containing the GEO:lat/geo:long and title info.  I am not a programmer but can hack my way around a bit of PHP code.

 Does anyone have an example or know how to do this??

 Thanks 

 Matt  :)
