So, I am mostly done with the work I've been doing on producing GXP-style viewer configurations in the Django app, and persisting background layer visibility while I'm at it. However, I noticed something a bit odd: on the current demo site, the wms server for the GeoNode comes up as the default layer source in the "Add Layers" dialog, but in my branch, it is the Google Layer listing instead. Possibly also relevant is the fact that in my working dir, the choice in the dropdown for the WMS layer reads "My GeoServer WMS" while that on the live site is labelled "capra". Maybe this affects sorting, maybe it is an artifact of the ConfigManager still in place on the demo site. with that background in mind: * Do we care? Is it okay to have that dialog default to a listing of Google layers? Seems undesirable to me. * If yes, how do we fix it? What needs to happen in the config to change that ordering? Does GXP even allow us to specify this ordering? thanks. -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/
Hi David, the order is simply determined by the order the plugins finish loading their resources (GetCapabilities response for WMS, scripts for Google). If we care about the order (do we? - I don't), it should be possible to do a final reordering when all sources have finished loading, based on the order they appear in the config. Would that work for you? If so, and if we really care, I'd ticket that. -Andreas.

Okay, if this isn't a change in behavior I won't worry about it. -- David Winslow OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org/ On 07/21/2010 06:04 PM, Andreas Hocevar wrote: > Hi David, > > the order is simply determined by the order the plugins finish loading their resources (GetCapabilities response for WMS, scripts for Google). > > If we care about the order (do we? - I don't), it should be possible to do a final reordering when all sources have finished loading, based on the order they appear in the config.
