[OpenLayers-Users] cluster strategy

Perhaps you have uncovered a problem - when you call the deactivate method it stops further clustering from happening but I don't see anything that actually does anything to decluster the layer's features. Here's a possible solution. The code is untested and may contain bugs, typos, logic flaws etc. You've been warned :) The idea is, without having to change OpenLayers code, you can replace any property value or any method in an object by passing it as an option - so this replaces the deactivate method in the cluster strategy with one that should (and again, no promises) extract the clustered features from each feature in the layer and put back the original features. If indeed that is what is wrong. Please let me know if this does actually deactivate the cluster strategy and I will file a ticket and put together a proper patch with tests.
Cheers

/* Adding an Multipoint Vector Layer with cluster strategy */
var clusterStrategy = new OpenLayers.Strategy.Cluster({
distance: 20,
deactivate: function() {
var deactivated = OpenLayers.Strategy.prototype.deactivate.call(this);
if(deactivated) {
var features = [];
var clusters = this.layer.features;
for (var i=0; i<clusters.length; i++) {
var cluster = clusters[i];
if (cluster.cluster) {
for (var j=0; j<cluster.cluster.length; j++) {
features.push(cluster.cluster[j]);
} else {
features.push(cluster);
}
}
}
this.layer.removeAllFeatures();
this.layer.events.un({
"beforefeaturesadded": this.cacheFeatures,
"moveend": this.cluster,
scope: this
});
this.layer.addFeatures(features);
this.clearCache();
}
return deactivated;
}
});
