Legend layer control does not work on Mapserver layers with status DEFAULT

[wbronsema]

If a mapserver layer has a layer status of DEFAULT it does not respond to the legend layer control

That is correct, layers with status DEFAULT cannot be turned off through the CGI url. We can do several things:

• in LoadMap.php, if status is DEFAULT, change it to ON
• return the status from LoadMap.php and use that to disable the checkbox in the legend - it would be checked on and not changeable.

i am going to take on this one

[pdeschamps]

added flag in LoadMap.php "$layerObj->statusdefault" passed it into layer.js .statusDefault and thus added to the legend.js widget in the renderItemCheckBox func.

if(this.options.statusIsDefault){
            this.checkBox.checked = true;
            this.checkBox.disabled = true;
            this.checkBox.readOnly = true;
        }

Now the item appears checked and it is "disabled" (greyed out)
