[OpenLayers-Users] changing the baselayer

[protos]

Hi,

I need to create a new layer and make this the new base layer and use the
old base layer for something else
but I'm having issues with it - when I switch the baseLayer, and request new
tiles the tiles still end up in the old baseLayer instead of the new one.

This is how I'm switching the baseLayer : 



        var baseId = this.map.baseLayer.id;
        var cloneId = baseId + "_clone";

        // point baseLayer at the cloned layer
        // point baseLayerClone at the base layer
        this.map.tmp = this.map.baseLayerClone;
        this.map.baseLayerClone = this.map.baseLayer;
        this.map.baseLayer = this.map.tmp;

        this.map.tmp = null;

        // change the openlayer object ids
        this.map.baseLayer.id = baseId;
        this.map.baseLayerClone.id = cloneId;
        
        
        // change the DOM div ids
        this.map.baseLayer.div.id = baseId;
        this.map.baseLayerClone.div.id = cloneId;
        
        
        this.map.baseLayerClone.isBaseLayer = false;

        
        // set the layer indexes
        var cidx = this.map.getLayerIndex(this.map.baseLayerClone);
        var bidx = this.map.getLayerIndex(this.map.baseLayer);
        this.map.setLayerIndex(this.map.baseLayerClone, bidx);
        this.map.setLayerIndex(this.map.baseLayer, cidx);
        this.map.baseLayerClone.index = bidx;
        this.map.baseLayer.index = cidx;
        

        this.map.setBaseLayer(this.map.baseLayer);


A lot of this is probably unnecessary but I'm trying to make sure that
everything is covered.

I think the problem might be that the old baseLayer is still seen as a base
layer and I now have two baseLayers. Is there something I need to do with
the old baseLayer to make it a normal layer ?

Cheers,
Colm
