[Geomoose-users] Catalog->group - can't get GM to start with group folder closed

[Ed Boesenberg]

Bob,

 

Have you tried to test it with only one small group of layers?

renderGroup in GeoMOOSE.Tab.Catalog

 

But again... the same code (JavaScript, HTML, CSS) and the same mapbook in
the same browser has to have the same results.  Unless you can come up with
some meaningful difference between the original path that works and the
supposedly identical copy that doesn't, I am at a complete loss as to how to
help.  I'm starting to think your computer is just messing with you.

 

Do you have any odd things going on in the web server where it is trying to
add/change content on the fly?  I have see this in one case where they were
using something server side to wrap all the pages with a common header that
was breaking GeoMoose.

Well, I did the copy of GM, so I would guess that the file here were
identical to the demo.  So are we hitting different files than expected?  If
I do anything else to manipulate that mapbook.xml (such as change a title or
something else minor), I see that change.  But, we're only talking about
mapbook.xml.

 

So, going on that, then we could infer that mapbook.xml is not hitting what
it should.  What code is triggered by the <group> tag?

If the mapbook doesn't change, and it is the stock code base, GeoMoose
doesn't have anything to display the catalog differently just because the
base path changed so... 

* something is different in the "copy" GeoMoose

* something is different in the mapbook being sent to the browser (and this
was tested false)

* the browser isn't receiving/rendering the files you (think you) have on
the server.

Right, I created a new httpd file for it.

No, I didn't change local_settings.ini in this example, although that would
be done for a "real" application.  But, I don't think that should affect the
group folders opening and closing either way.

What else did you do besides copying the directory (\ms4w\apps\geomoose2)
under a new name (\ms44\apps\geomoose3)?  I just tried copying the directory
and it is not enough for MS4W to pickup the new name - it doesn't find it at
all.

 

If I also copy and modify \ms4w\httpd.d\httpd_geomoose2_ms4w.conf to
\ms4w\httpd.d\httpd_geomoose3_ms4w.conf and replace all occurrences within
of geomoose2 with geomoose3, the demo works as expected.

 

Presumably, \ms4w\apps\geomoose3\local_settings.ini should also be modified
as well to use the copied version of the mapfiles, etc.

Just to be sure, I've just downloaded the latest GM 2.6 download.  I
unzipped the demo app and it works normally.  Then I made a copy of it under
a new name.  When I open this application, all folders are expanded.  They
are both residing in the same ms4w/apps directory, the only difference is
the application folder name.  Any ideas?

Resend: Message got too big for the list.

 

There is something wrong with your GeoMoose install (as opposed to your
mapbook).  I also checked and your getmapbook.php is returning the mapbook
you sent in the email.  Are you sure you are using the released and/or
latest version?

I put your catalog into my app and it shows up like this to start.

And the "nested" same groups show up when you click on them...
