Showing and scrolling layers *** UPDATED Aug-26-2012 ***

[[RZ]]

i took your project, just changed the library with a new startup method: *** link removed - issue solved ***
please note, i didn't install nor add the extension(s) you provided, two reasons: 1. i isolated the case to the maximum (or the minimum?) so as to know where the weird behavior is; and 2. this way i can ensure that the (my) extensions work smoothly with wb and as it is expected.
please stress the above link and tell me if it now works as you wanted (then, i will delete your files, as soon as i receive feedback from you).

I just tested the link you provided, no issues as they used to happen before

[[RZ]]

ok, that sounds good...
i'm doing the last fine-tuning, check your inbox in one hour.

[supersonictt]

Thank you so much

[[RZ]]

mail sent.
just reinstall and tell me how it works (new options available, feedback is appreciated).

[supersonictt]

Thanks a lot
I will test it thoroughly and let you know, but so far, on xampp, everything is working 100%

Hi guys.
Firstly let me apologise for the lack of skill beforehand.
I would like to develop something based on RZ's layers. His demo is great!
I have downloaded & installed the extensions, created layers, renamed them according to groups (group-a, group -b, etc), added the rz layers lib and tried a number of extensions (ocm, ocpn, etc), attributed open/close icons, but upon preview,, nothing happens.
Does not close or open; tried hiding the layers to see if the "open" command would scroll them into view, but nothing. When I place the mouse over the icon to hover, it just flickers incessantly.
I know there is something (or many things) that I am not doing right, because everybody else here has managed to do it.
At a complete loss..
Thx

did you add the library?
did you properly add the object ids?
without seeing what you did is extremely difficult (or even impossible) to give a proper help...

[Sergio Morais]

Yes, I added the rz layers (lib) extension.
What I did was create 2 layers, named them group-a-1 & group-a-2 respectively.
Then I added the ocm/ocpn extensions alternatively.
Within each one I set the layer name prefix to group-a (thinking that the layers group-a-1 & group-a-2 would fall under that set of instructions)
I added plus and minus icons to open and close the layers group-a-1 and group-a-2.
When I preview, The layers are shown, or not, in accordance with whether or not they have been hidden, but the icons do nothing; Don't open or close the layers.
I always start off with something simple in order to get a grasp on things. This time I am stumped..
Must I add all the extensions to the project?
Thx

have you read the info file?
without seeing what you did will be impossible to help you
group-a is an illegal name, please use group_a instead

[Sergio Morais]

OK.
I managed to get it working, SORT OF!
I added an oc extension per layer & the plus(open) and minus(close) options work..
So I have 2 "+"&"1" icons. Open and close makes the layer disappear/appear.
Is it possible to say click the "+" thereby showing layer1 & make it automatically disappear when clicking the other "+" regarding the layer2 thereby showing layer2 only and vice-versa?
Hope my question is not too confusing..

[[RZ]]

again, have you read the info file?
if you want synchronized layers you should use oc2 instead of oc
oc2 allows you to group the layers so you can open and close the related ones

[Sergio Morais]

On it!
Glad I am making some head way..
Will let you know..
Thx
