AW: [Cartoweb-users] Children Switching

[Lauber Christoph]

Hi Oliver

Maybe I should explain what I want to do. With the exportLinkIt Plugin or simply URL layer_select parameter it is possible to preselect layers. But it is not possible to change a layerGroup dropdown list. The children layers are selected correctly. But that the user has to change the dropdown manually is not very logical. Due to some information I think this problem could be solved by using children switching. Is this correct so far?

The aim now is to replace the layerGroup dropdown by children switching. Or is there a better way to go?



Thanks
Christoph

Hi Christoph

to render a layerGroup as dropdown, you simply need to set it's rendering to 
dropdown:
layers.*layerId*.rendering = dropdown

switch are used to globaly change the selection of layers displayed in the 
layertree. The switch selection is outside of the main layer tree and you 
display it with {$switch} in your template.

Oliver
