Re: [pmapper-users] TOC - Category with only one layer
Thanx for your answer. I will live with it for now, and play with the files you pointed out if I find some time to. But you are right, logic/intuition may vary a lot from one person to another! In the meanwhile I have tested pmapper 5-dev demo, looks very promising! I noticed you have created a new level in the tree with the so called 'Domains', great! I also saw that one have to choose from the Blue Marble layer or the OSM one, both can not being displayed together, which makes sense. If I may throw an idea here, that would be to have a separate section for 'background' layers that you can select with radio buttons like in OpenLayers, in order to have only one of them selected at a time. If I dare again make some proposals, the following web site (using the complicated Mapfish) has some nice GoogleEarth and StreetView functionalities : http://sitn.ne.ch/ Thx again for the good job!

You can deactivate the checkboxes for the categories, this will remove a functionality that could be handy, but also a source of confusion. armin -- This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure ___ pmapper-users mailing list pmapper-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pmapper-users

Only difference to standard OL is that you will still have checkboxes instead of radio buttons. If I dare again make some proposals, the following web site (using the complicated Mapfish) has some nice GoogleEarth and StreetView functionalities : http://sitn.ne.ch/ You should be able then to write your plugin that does this, maybe it even exists already for OL...

[pmapper-users] TOC - Category with only one layer
Hello, Sometimes there is a category that contains only one layer, e. g. in this example: http://www.pmapper.net/demo/p42/map_default.phtml?winsize=mediumlanguage=enconfig=default Category: Nature-spatial Data / Layer: Rivers For cases like that, is there an easy to only display the layer in the tree, in 1 line with the +/-? That would simplify/shorten the TOC and make it more logical I think. Indeed, if the layer has been collapsed while being deactivated, it is not displayed in to the map even if the category has got the check mark, which could be confusing.
