[Users] wms_title not used

[Bart van den Eijnden]

There is no GetCapabilities request involved here, the application isn't using WMS GetCapabilities at all.

What happens is that the layers param is split on "," and the strings are taken from there.

If possible use separate WMS layers (so you can define the title on the OpenLayers Layer object) and group them together in the tree instead of using a LayerParamLoader.

This might not be a trivial exercise though, for some inspiration you could look here:
