[mapguide-users] Legend Group/Layer Display

[Alain Lebatard]

Hi Kori,

You are right, both the DWF viewer and the AJAX viewer behave the same
way to that respect. A group is automatically hidden when no child is
displayed within that group, effectively preventing to change the
visibility of the group itself.

We have been discussing this topic very recently and decided for now to
leave it the way it is, but I do now agree with you that this is a
fairly serious problem that we should fix.

Alain

Subject: [mapguide-users] Legend Group/Layer Display


I have found one major difference in how the Legend Layer and Group
display
differs from MG 6.5:


I have 2 layers in a group.

I do not wish these layers to be visible in the legend.
I wish these layers to be initially displayed in the map.

I wish the group to be visible in the legend.
I wish the group to be initially displayed in the map.

MG Open 
- Displays the Layers in the map
- Does not Display them in the legend
- Does not display the group


MG 6.5
- Displays the Layers in the Map
- Does not Display them in the legend
- Displays the group


This difference in how the Group Display/Visibility works is a large
flaw.

We need to be able to group layers that are visible in the map but not
the
legend within a group that can be toggled on or off.


Any help or input?

Cheers,
