[Users] How to load a wms layer via link in attribute table?

[Matt Priour]

OpenLayers.Map.addLayer(new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS('layername',<your wms server url>,{layers:<your layer name( s ) associated with the feature>},{isBaseLayer:false})

For your case, I would probably have a link in the popup which is actually linked to a javascript function, or a button (e.g., "View Analysis Layer( s )") which passes the relevant layernames to a javascript function
The function would add the layer to the map and could also add a layernode in the layer tree panel (or force a reload on a parent View Analysis node / tree loader)

Hope that points you in the right direction

Hi,

I would like to somehow load a wls layer into a map via the popup window. Has anyone ever done this...I´m not too sure how to go about starting such a function.

The background is that I am creating a wind turbine point layer. For every point we have create a visibility analysis raster layer. Because there are over 900 rasters (3 zones for each turbine) files I cannot begin to think about loading them into the map at startup. I would therefore like to load them on request of the user either by adding the link into the popup, or maybe even through a separate window. 

Any help would be gratefully accepted.

Yours,

Robert Buckley
