[Cartoweb-users] Problem ini file parsing and question aboutswitches

[Dirk Jesko]

Hello Oliver,

thanks. That worked. Maybe, you could help me with the other question 
that I wrote in the original post?

"I am still looking for a possibility to handle more than 200 layers in 
one project. Since an extended plugin and recompiling mapserver are 
(currently) not an option, I thought about using children switching. 
Therefore, I divided the layers into two groups with less than 200 
layers each and assigned a switch to each group. The map files for the 
switches are generated, but each file contains all layers. Based on the 
documentation I thought that the mapfiles generated for one switch would 
only contain the necessary layers. Am I doing something wrong? Is it 
possible at all to handle that many layers using children switching?"


Thanks very much,
Dirk
