Robert's Dynamic Legend exclude layers problem

[IanHamilton]

So far I have not been able to exlcude any layers from the dynamic legend which otherwise is working normally. I am using arc 10 map services. At the moment I a trying to exclude the whole map service
example is as follows.
<excludelayer mapservice="Rail Labels (36K-18M)"></excludelayer>

Has anyone else come across this.

Ian,


   Is "Rail Labels (36K-18M)" the name of the Map service in your config.xml? If not that is the issue.

Robert,

Unfotunatley it is unless I have made a typo in all the various attemps I have made. I basically have various "label layers" which I don't want to appear in the legend at all. These are duplicate layers of the respective line work layer. e.g. rail linework for example with no colour set for the line and dynamic labelling switched on.

My set up uses multiple layerlist xml files using a single instance of layerlistwidget (the exclude layer in the respective xml files for this widget works). The dynamic layer list widget is behaving correctly in this set up, except for the exlude layers part.

A bit of a puzzle

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Ian,

   Hmm... I guess the best thing to do is have you post your config.xml and I will attempt to duplicate your setup.

Robert thanks for taking a look at this, much appreciated. I hoping it's something really stupid I've done!

I attach the config file and the dynamic legend xml file
I had to take some things out as the post was too big.
But you should get the idea.
