Hello,

I want to create a 'mapserver' with specific 'markerdefs' from the
visiting user on my website.

Is it possibile to let Mapit! work with different 'markerdefs' ?

not sure what you mean exactly. However, MapIT! provides different
groups within the markerdefs and even seperate icons per entry in a
group.

If you want to work with seperate markerdefs files per user, it should
be straight forward to overwrite the default for 'marker_locations'
specified in base/mapconfig.py with a cgi parameter.

Best regards,

No, I don't know of such examples. However, common.py is a good starter:
Have a look at the Parameters.__init__ method which processes the cgi
parameters and generates the MarkerInfo Object from
mapconfig.marker_locations and other parameters. Should be sufficient to 
make this variable. However, this has some side restrictions: A new 
CGI-parameter 'marker_locations' must be processed (and MarkerInfo
available) before the 'marker' parameter is processed. Should be taken
some care about this.

Best regards,

        Frank
