Hi,

I've never tried myself, but I would not be surprised if you could do something 
of that kind with GROUP in LAYER object. Excerpt from mapfile reference 
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/layer follows.

GROUP [name]
    Name of a group that this layer belongs to. The group name can then be 
reference as a regular layer name in the template files, allowing to do things 
like turning on and off a group of layers at once.

Aihe: [mapserver-users] Hiding overviews


Hello everybody!

I've build external overviews, both with raster and vector data, put them into layers with MIN-/MAXSCALE and it works like a charme. My only problem is that I can not get the switching of those layers transparent to the user. A "GetCapabilities"-WMS-Request returns all layers separately. But it makes no sense for the user to turn only one layer on/off. Instead the only useful thing a user can do is switching the hole _group_ of detail/overview layers on/off. So is there a way to only show the hole group as _one_ single layer in a WMS with mapserver? The WMS specs (v1.3.0) suggests that only the group layer should have a name, the single detail/overview layers should not. Therefore only the group layer can be contained in a WMS request and should be shown by a WMS client as one single layer, I think.
