Dynamic legend exclude layers problem

IanHamilton — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 05:34:29 GMT

I am having continuing problems trying to exlcude layers for the dynamic legend.
No layer I specify in the config for dynamic legend is excluded.
I post some of the main config file and dynamic legend.xml file.

Thanks for any help.

Ian,

There is nothing in the documentation or code that supports:

<excludelayer mapservice="Hide Bing"></excludelayer>

The only thing that is supported is excluding items from the legend:

<LegendexcludeLayers>
  <!--LegendexcludeLayer mapservice="Parcel Data">68</LegendexcludeLayer-->
 </LegendexcludeLayers>

Ian,

It looks like adding support for excluding whole map services is not to hard so I am working on it. I will not be supporting excluding individual map service layers in the TOC though.

Ian,

New Version 2.2.2 is now available.

Ian,

Hang tight I did this for the TOC widget and did not pay attention that you were talking about the dynamic legend.

Ian,

WOW this is the problem with having so much code out there. DISREGARD everything I have said so far.

The Dynamic Legend Widget is designed to exclude individual map services or sub layers of that map service. I have tried and tried an I can not duplicate your issue. I thought it might be that your services were tiled so I tested that. I though it might be and issue with the extra blank lines inside of your excludeLayers parent element. I tested if the parentheses in the layer name could be the issue.

I have got to say I can see what your issue is.

Hi Robert,

I can understand your problem with multiple requests for changes to all your work.

So the syntax of the dynamic legend xml is as I posted it?
It can exclude whole mapservice or sublayer?

The only thing I can think of is that I have multiple instances of layerlist widget. But the dynamic legend is displayng the correct layers at the correct scales from any layers switched on from any of the layerlist widgets it just does not seem able to filter out any services/layers I put in the exclude list.

Thanks again,

Ian

Robert,

I downloaded a fresh version of the dynamic legend , removed my old one and re built the app. The dynamic legend now works with my exclude layers. It must have been some sort of build issue.

Thanks again,

Ian

I didnt want to start a new thread, so Ill ask here. How do you exclude a layer with the ESRI widget? I cant figured it out and the documentation is very lacking on the help page. If you dont know, ill just make a new thread. Thanks.

Dustin,

Did you not see this in the documentation?

<excludelayer> - When a layer is specified (by its name which should match the layer name in the Viewer application's main configuration file), it will not display in the Layer List widget. Multiple excludelayer tags can be specified if you wish to exclude multiple layers.

that was I was reading. I cant make any sesne out of it. I tried the layers name itself, using the whole url, [] and "" and I cant get it to work.

Dustin,

It is like this:

<excludelayer>Rivers Labels (144K-1M)</excludelayer>

Main config

<layer label="Rivers Labels (144K-1M)" type="tiled" visible="false" alpha="1"
url="xxx/ArcGIS/rest/services/InlandWaters_RiversWaterbodies_Labels/MapServer">

I'm trying to use the Dynamic Legend widget in flexviewer 2.2 and no legend panel comes up at all.
I am using the compiled version.
I downloaded flexviewer 2.1 and it worked fine in 2.1.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated
Pete
