[Geomoose-users] metadata layer parameter

Tue Oct 9 12:50:06 PDT 2012

Yes that is the behavior I am seeing.  In prior versions of GeoMoose we had a layer control at the layer level that was metadata="" that would determine whether the icon would show up.  If you had a value in there is would show the icon if you did not include it then there would be no icon at the layer level.

Still doesn't answer why this works for just the parcel layer in that way.

Just to confirm:

On my main 2.6 install, the metadata icon shows for all layers but makes a popup that says the metadata cannot be displayed for the layers where it is not defined.

I would think greying out or hiding the metadata icon if it isn't available would be good.  I am a little worried this will create a special case for this tool.  To avoid that, I am thinking whatever logic is used to determine if the metadata icon is visible should be done in the metadata layercontrol class.

One more thing to add.  It looks like if you change this config parameter to true then it adds the metadata icon to all layers and the new one I tried to add to a new layer works.

This doesn't seem like the behavior I would expect and isn't the way it worked in previous GeoMoose versions.  I would prefer to be able to define a metadata parameter per layer in the catalog and not have the icon show up for the others.  I'm also not sure why the icon works only for the parcel layer.

Thoughts on this functionality?

Has anyone else got the metadata parameter to work on any layer other than the parcels in the demo?

It almost seems like it is hardcoded into that layer. If I comment it out in the mapbook it doesn't remove it.  If I tried to add a metadata parameter to another layer it doesn't show up.  Just wondering if this is a bug or my configuration.
