Semantics of [layer_status]

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi,

value 2 is status DEFAULT so only that one will be checked in the legend.

If you also want status ON to be checked you should use a double [if]:

[if name=layer_status value=2]CHECKED[/if]
[if name=layer_status value=1]CHECKED[/if]

But then again, status DEFAULT layers cannot be changed by the user so
maybe you should add DISABLED in that case?

[if name=layer_status value=2]CHECKED DISABLED[/if]
[if name=layer_status value=1]CHECKED[/if]

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Bart
