[mapguide-users] Bypassing initial view at startup - and adding a layer

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

The FeatureSource looks ok.

You need to look at how it is all built up:

1 x WebLayout -> 1 x MapDefintion -> 1+ x LayerDefinition -> 
FeatureSource (one pr. layer)

So, your LayerDefinition references the FeatureSource, which is allright.
The MapDefinition references the maps, but does not replicate the 
content of the LayerDefinition.

To look at the Xml, I reccomend that you try out Maestro:
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/maestro

Within Maestro, you can click the "Edit Xml" button, and see how a 
working MapDefinition looks.
