Hi,

I would prefer if this issue could be fixed within QGIS Server. I also have the same problem when copying projects.

We could combine this effort with a more persistent project/layer cache of QGIS server, so the cache would survive Apache restarts.

I would be available for co-financing if others would join the effort.

Hey Burghardt,

As a workaround for now it's pretty easy to read the xml file and replace the layer ids using Python. QGIS doesn't care about the format of the id as long as it's a strings so you could replace them all with a GUID if you wanted.

    Dear list,

    I enjoy working with templates for QGIS projects. This brings when
    working with QGIS Desktop many advantages, but leads to problems
    with the QGIS Web Client. When I save a project file under a
    different name, the id of the layer, unfortunately, is maintained.
    If I use both project files in the qgis-server, this creates
    problems with caching of layer. That is particularly evident when
    identical layer named differently or otherwise be symbolized.
    This topic is discussed on several occasions in the past [1,2] and
    has been referred to as "bug" or "limitation". In [2] it's said
    that the combination of project name and layer ID could be a
    solution for the problem. Up to and including version 2.8.1, the
    change has not yet been carried out. Is there an effort to change
    the creation of the layer ID in a future release?

    Kind regards
    Burghardt
