[fusion-users] Groups initially always visible

[Bernhard Schneider]

Hi everyone,

Using MapServer 5.0.2, I specify in the map file that some groups  
should be invisible. (I do this by setting the METADATA tag  
"groupVisible".) However, the groups are initially visible in both the  
legend and the map. (Interestingly, if I nest groups, this only  
affects top level groups, the nested ones are invisible if so  
specified in the map file.)

I followed the code for generating the legend, and I found a loop  
through all top level groups (in function draw(..) in widgets/ 
Legend.js) containing the line:

startGroup.groups[i].visible = true;

Why are the groups set to true here, ignoring the settings in the map  
file? Can someone shed some light on this?

(For testing, I have commented this line out. The groups now behave as  
I would expect them to, and it doesn't seem to introduce any further  
problems.)

Bernhard
