Hi
the layers's initial state (selected, frozen, ..) are used in ClientLayers.php
function createSession.
if (!is_null($initialMapState->layers)) {
foreach ($initialMapState->layers as $initialLayerState) {
$this->layersData[$initialLayerState->id] = $initialLayerState;
}
}
check if the some initialMapState have been set and if so, set the layersData
array with the values.
replacing/modifying the existing initialMapState process seems a bit tricky so
I would suggest to insert a new piece of code just after the $initialMapState
handling but this time you would simply get the values you want for your
dynamicaly selected layers.
foreach ($dynamicInitialMapStates as $dynamicInitialMapState) {
$this->layersData[$dynamicInitialMapState->id] =
$dynamicInitialMapState;
}
you simply have to be sure to have the correct content in your
$dynamicInitialMapState variable
dynamicInitialMapState should be a array of InitialMapState object
InitialMapState->id
InitialMapState->location
InitialMapState->layers where layers is a LayerState object
LayerState->id
LayerState->hidden
LayerState->frozen
LayerState->selected
LayerState->unfolded
$dynamicInitialMapStates should be generated by you. You can do it directly in
the (extended) layers plugin or in another plugin (in which case you have to
use
$this->cartoclient->getPluginManager()->getPlugin('your_plugin_name')->dynamicInitialMapStates
to access it)

Subject: [Cartoweb-users] Changing selected layers in code
Hello,
is it possible to change the layers that are activated by default directly in
code instead of having to change the layers.ini file?
I have several dozen layers of which only two will be active at any given
time. Deciding which two layers will be displayed is going to be decided by an
algorithm written in php, not by the user. At every page refresh, the
algorithm, based on several parameters, will set just two layers to selected.
Is there a way to do this within Cartoweb in php?
The only ugly solution I have thought of so far is to overwrite the
layers.ini file with a new one and having the pertinent layers marked as
selected. However, aside being ugly, this runs into problems with caching.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
