Hi Dennis,

It would be really useful if you could create "fake" layer definitions / map 
definition / fusion layout against Sheboygan that exhibit the theming problem 
and attach it to a Trac ticket as an .mgp.

Like any open source software, it's only as good as the use cases that have 
been thrown at it so far.  If your use is considerably different than others, 
you'll likely run into problems that haven't been encountered yet.  If we can 
work to fix these problems then we all benefit.

I have been trying to move away from everything-in-one-map to allowing users to 
drop down "themes" from the map picker widget, so haven't come even close to 
the number of groups/layers you're using yet.  If you run Fiddler while 
accessing that map (you have to use your PC name instead of localhost) can you 
identify whether there is a problem in one of the calls or if this is instead a 
problem in the JS rendering?  Does it not work in both IE and Firefox?

My main production implementation is going to launch at Fusion 1.1.1, but I 
would personally recommend that new implementations use Fusion 2 on MapGuide 
2.1.  It's considerably faster.  However, it's also undergone open heart 
surgery, so there may still be some issues that need to be worked out there too.

Subject: [mapguide-users] Fusion and Themed Layers - usability

Fusion experts, I have installed fusion 1.1.1 and there appears to be 
significant “issues” with its ability to handle themed layers. When using the 
same MapDefinition(90 layergroups, 230 layers) for both a basic and flexible 
layout, the basic layout works just fine but the flexible layout renders the 
layout but NO content. Nothing on the map. Nothing in the legend. Seems like a 
significant issue to me.

It seems to handle themed layers in some kinda’ sorta’ way in that when I use a 
MapDefinition with just two(2) themed layers it does render but the expanded 
theme on the second layer is actually the theme of the first layer. 

I am new to fusion and would really like to know, in general terms, if this 
stuff is ready for prime time.  What other "surprises"  may I be walking into?

r,
dennis
