[Users] Displaying single legend items when the layer is a group layer comprised of several layers

[Andrew Stewart]

Thank you very much! I was looking at this before and could not get it to work.. But your provided example code was exactly enough to get me going.. The problem I was doing before was when defining my layers I wasn't seperating them by 'layer name', 'layer name' .. I had them all individually inside only one 'layer name, layer name' but when I put quotes around each one and seperated them by comma it works perfectly, thanks again!

Hi,

you may want to have a look at http://geoext.org/lib/GeoExt/widgets/tree/LayerParamLoader.html.

For your layer_Base layer, the tree node configuration could look like this:

layerList_Base = new GeoExt.tree.LayerNode({
    "layer": layer_Base,
    "isLeaf": false,
    "loader": {
        "param": "LAYERS"
    }
});

Regards,
Andreas.

I need to keep the layers grouped because of performance but I still need to be able to display each individual layer so that I can turn them on/off. Is this possible? Any example/help immensely appreciated.
