[fusion-users] MapServer Legend Icons

[Paul Spencer]

Ohhhhh - light goes on - doh!  You have 6 maps in the same map group!   
This will need a bit of work :)  We need to modify the scale_ranges  
array in the session so that it is subdivided by map name.  LoadMap  
needs to set

$_SESSION['scale_ranges'][$mapName]

and LoadScaleRanges needs to use the same thing when referencing it.   
Do you think you could make these changes and test?  If it works, I'll  
file the bug and commit.  If you don't want to try first, I can take a  
stab at it and commit but I'm not really set up to test right now.

Thanks Tim

Paul
