[Geomoose-users] problem with Identify on Groups

[Brian Fischer]

Bob,
Not sure if our work around that we came up with on a 10/29 identify on layers you don't want visable email will work for you or not?  But read through that and if that sounds like it might work we can submit a patch.

OK, thanks.  I'll probably have to work up a similar hack.  Problem is, I don't want these layers to always identify, only when turned on.

I know this does not quite do it but I have an "IdentifyAll" service that just calls the identify.php.  This allows me to identify specific layers from a "hard wired" button. Seems to work OK. Below is how I call the identify.php from my mapbook.xml


<service name="identifyall" title="IdentifyAll" display="false">
                        <url>php/identify.php</url>
                        <step type="spatial" name="shape" show-tools="false" line="false" polygon="false" jump-start="true" default="point">
                                    <!-- <input type="visiblelayers" name="layers"/> -->
                        <input type="hidden" name="layers" value="taxlot2012/taxlot2012:taxlot/PolkTaxlots:cityugb/all:compplan/all:taxcode/all:zoning/all:roads/Roads:fire/all:school/Schools:precinct/all:garbage/all:waterut/all:powerut/all:soils/all:flood/all:wetland/wetland:elevation/all" />
                        </step>
</service>

I did this in 2.4 and have not tested it in 2.6.

There are docs on how to identify one or more specific layers,
