[Geomoose-users] Layer auto refresh

[Len Kne]

I don't remember seeing a way to automatically refresh layers in GeoMOOSE 2.x - I have seen a way to cycle through a set of WMS layers, like to show radar images.

The GeoMOOSE API has GeoMOOSE.refreshLayers() that would do what you are looking for - you would need to add a javascript timer to have it called automatically.  You can list as many layers by separating them by a colon, like:

GeoMOOSE.refreshLayers('source1/layer1:source2/layer2')

Hi GeoMoose Users,

I'm looking to get a layer to auto refresh in Geomoose 2.2.  I found the cycle parameter in the layer controls, but I'm having no luck getting it to work.  I am able to get a new icon in the catalog, but when I click it nothing seems to happen(unless it's really-really fast).   Maybe I have the wrong syntax.

Test layer to try from mapbook:

<map-source name="metbase" type="ags" >
                                <url>http://gis.metc.state.mn.us/ArcGIS/rest/services/BaseLayer/UTMBaseMap/MapServer/export</url<http://gis.metc.state.mn.us/ArcGIS/rest/services/BaseLayer/UTMBaseMap/MapServer/export%3c/url>>
                                <layer name="Met Council Base Map Layers" />
                                <param name="FORMAT" value="JPG"/>
</map-source>

<catalog>
<layer title="Metro Base Map" src="metbase/Met Council Base Map Layers" refresh="true" cycle="true" status="on"  legend="false" />
</catalog>

Refresh by itself works!

Anyone have examples of this working?  I actually would like to get the layer set to refresh automatically when turned on and not have to click the button.

Side question: Can you have more than 1 layer refreshing at the same time?

Thanks for the help,
Adam
