ToC for Viewer: Collapse all legends

JustinGleeson — Wed, 18 Jul 2012 21:55:33 GMT

Hi All,

Am using the ToC widget for Flex 2.5 and am having trouble getting the legends to open as 'collapsed'. I'm using the following code within the ToC.xml file.[ATTACH=CONFIG]16224[/ATTACH]

<tocsettings>
<expanded>false</expanded>
<collapselegends>false</collapselegends>
</tocsettings>

Ideally I want all layers and legends collapsed/closed so the user has to click and expand to view.

any help appreciated

thanks

Justin

Since you didn't post the entire xml, I'm assuming your <tocsettings> is within the <configuration> tags.

I just tested it and

 <tocsettings>
  <expanded>false</expanded>
 </tocsettings>

works fine for me.

You may want to make sure the changes are being pushed to your server. I have had similar issues in the past that deleting the TOCWidget.swf from the server (and make sure the TOCWidget.xml on the server is showing your changes) and re-building the project has fixed.

Thanks

Below is the full code from Robert's widget. Using this the layers need to be expanded by the users when opened and this is what I want. The problem is that all the legends are already expanded. What I would like to do is click 'Population Maps', this would list the maps/layers and then click again to see the legend. As it stands once I click 'Population Maps' it shows all the maps/layers in a list with the legends already expanded. This is a probelm as it means the user has to do a lot of scrolling to get to the bottom of the list.

thanks

Justin

Justin,

Well for that you just need to pay close attention to the TOCWidget.xml tag names.

<configuration>
    <labels>
        <visibilitylabel>Layer Visibility</visibilitylabel>
        <zoomtoextent>Zoom To Layer Extent</zoomtoextent>
        <expandall>Expand All Layers</expandall>
        <collapseall>Collapse All Layers</collapseall>
        <zoomtomakevisible>Zoom To Make Visible</zoomtomakevisible>
        <generatinglegendmsg>Generating TOC Legend</generatinglegendmsg>
    </labels>
    <tocsettings>
        <expanded everything="false">false</expanded>
        <collapselegends>true</collapselegends>
        <disablezoomtomenuoption>true</disablezoomtomenuoption>
    </tocsettings>
    <legendtimeout>60</legendtimeout>
    <excludelayers>
        <excludelayer mapservice="Symbols"></excludelayer>
        <excludelayer mapservice="Utilities">8</excludelayer>
    </excludelayers>
    <excludegraphiclayers>true</excludegraphiclayers>

Hi Robert,

Thanks for help again and developing this really useful widget. I've adjuted the TOC settings as per your reply but still not getting the solution.

When it open it's displays the way I want like image 1
[ATTACH=CONFIG]16237[/ATTACH]

But, when I click on a theme, say population, it has all of the legends open as per image 2. This is not what I want.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]16240[/ATTACH]

Ideally I'd like it to display it the same way as in your example here: http://gis.calhouncounty.org/FlexViewer3.0/index.html?config=config-toc.xml

<tocsettings>
        <expanded everything="false">false</expanded>
        <collapselegends>true</collapselegends>
        <disablezoomtomenuoption>true</disablezoomtomenuoption>
    </tocsettings>

Justin,

You need to make sure you are actually getting the xml change when you run the code, because what you are after is exactly what you should get when you set the xml as instructed. This has been tested and verified. Are you using the latest 2.5 version of this widget?

Re: ToC for Viewer: Collapse all legends

JustinGleeson — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 13:57:16 GMT

Yes, working with the 2.5 version that is linked on the Code Gallery Table of Contents version for 3.0

Re: ToC for Viewer: Collapse all legends

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 14:05:29 GMT

Justin,

My concern on if you are using the latest 2.5 version (2.5.1.1) is the fact that the xml you posted originally was missing a couple of the new tags and attributes so that lead me to believe that you were not using the latest version. I am not sure what to tell you as I have tested and verified that I can get your desired results (the same you see on the live preview site) with the xml that I provided you.

JustinGleeson — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 15:06:45 GMT

Robert,

I appreciate your help on this and I've included the exact code you provided me with but still can't understand why the legends remain expanded. I'm thinking now that it must be something to do with my main config file as the ToC is exactly the same as in the above reply. If you have some spare time you might have a look.

thanks

Justin

You might try this change:

<visibilitylabel>Testing</visibilitylabel>

and then reload your project.

Of course, this won't fix it, but it will let you know for sure if the browser is picking up on the changes you make.

Espescially if using IE, I find that, depending on the workstation it is installed on, a <cntrl><F5> will reload with all changes, on other computers you MUST close the entire browser and then re-open the flex page.

Anyway, just a thought as I've had this issue before also.

Yes it's working for sure. Just made that change and it comes up after clearing the cache. No change to the legends though

thanks
