Thanks for claryfying, I was aware of some group support in pmapper, but I tried several times to make it work without success, perhaps I don't understand the logic behind it: if I set useCategories = 0 and set appropriates groups, the name of the first layer is used as the group name instead of the group name itself, additionally, I loose the ability to switch on-off the individual layers (but maybe this is how it is supposed to work). What I would like to have is the useCategories behaviour without the need to (manually) configure them but taking the configuration from the groups defined in the mapfile (i.e. read categories from groups in the mapfile). I know it can be done (and I know how to do it), the question is as usual: do you think this feature could be added to pmapper as a third possibility to create the thematic groups in the toc (think about useCategories = [yes, no, auto]), as usual I'm not asking you to write this, I could do that, but only after having heard your opinion and sugestions. A problem I see is that I (we?) often need full i18n support in the toc, this could be "easily" done with categories, but could be more tricky for groups taken from mapfile. -- Alessandro Pasotti itOpen - "Open Solutions for the Net Age" w3: www.itopen.it Linux User# 167502 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
