Hi Christoph

well, if you have ONE layergroup-dropdown, you can replace it with a switch and get a similar behaviour and avoid the layerGroup dropdown problem with linkIt. But, the switch is a separate element and it will NOT by displayed inside your layer tree. By default it appears just above the tree. You can place it anywere in the main cartoclient.tpl, but not in the layer tree, unless you feel link extending the layers coreplugin.

Hi Oliver

Maybe I should explain what I want to do. With the exportLinkIt Plugin or simply URL layer_select parameter it is possible to preselect layers. But it is not possible to change a layerGroup dropdown list. The children layers are selected correctly. But that the user has to change the dropdown manually is not very logical. Due to some information I think this problem could be solved by using children switching. Is this correct so far?

The aim now is to replace the layerGroup dropdown by children switching. Or is there a better way to go?



Thanks
Christoph

Hi Christoph

to render a layerGroup as dropdown, you simply need to set it's rendering to
dropdown:
layers.*layerId*.rendering = dropdown

switch are used to globaly change the selection of layers displayed in the
layertree. The switch selection is outside of the main layer tree and you
display it with {$switch} in your template.

Hi list

I would like to use children switch in my projects layers.ini. I defined a
layergroup with several switches. I thought that this layergroup will now
be shown in the layer tree as a dropdown list. But instead i get only the
defined default layer. Did I misunderstood the cildren switch behaviour?
Or what do i have to extend to get a dropdownlist with the defined
switches?


Thanks for your help in advance
