Gabe if you group layers together in the map file by using the GROUP tag, then use always this entry for all configurations in p.mapper (allGroups, defGroups, etc). If a layer is not part of a group then use the entry under the tag NAME. The entries are used to refrence the layer and are used like variables in programming languages, they should not contain blanks in p.mapper.
the metadata tag "DESCRIPTION" is the name used to display the layer on the user interface (TOC, legend, etc.), if 2 layers belong to the same group then just the setting from the 1st layer in the map file will be taken for this 'display name'. The docs http://pmapper.net/wiki/doku.php?id=doc:manual contain a description 'Layer/Group Descriptions and Fields for Queries' for the results display of queries. If it is not clear just post again on this list. armin -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Datum: Sun, 22 Oct 2006 00:29:57 +1000 Von: Gabe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> An: pmapper-users@lists.sourceforge.net Betreff: [pmapper-users] groups and names in pmapper 2.1.1 configuration > I am getting a bit confused about layers and names.
