I am having continuing problems trying to exlcude layers for the dynamic legend.
No layer I specify in the config for dynamic legend is excluded.
I post some of the main config file and dynamic legend.xml  file.


Thanks for any  help.

configuration>
<!--mapservice must be specified, and is the label of the layer (Map Service) as
  listed in the config.xml. If no ids are listed for the excludeLayer, then
  the entire map service will be excluded from the legend. If you specify id(s)
  then only the id(s) of the mapservice will be excluded from the legened-->
<!--Example:
  <excludeLayer mapservice="Homeland Security Operations">0,1</excludeLayer>
-->
<excludeLayers>

     <excludelayer mapservice="Rivers Labels (144K-1M)"></excludelayer>
     <excludelayer mapservice="Basins Labels (144K-577K)"></excludelayer>
     <excludelayer mapservice="Rail Labels (72K-288K)"></excludelayer>
     <excludelayer mapservice="Rail Labels (72K-288K)"></excludelayer>
     <excludelayer mapservice="Boundaries_LGA_Labels"></excludelayer>
     <excludelayer mapservice="Localities Labels (36K-144K)"></excludelayer> 
     <excludelayer mapservice="Islands Labels (36K-288K)"></excludelayer> 
     <excludelayer mapservice="Hide Bing"></excludelayer> 

</excludeLayers>
<excludeGraphicLayers>true</excludeGraphicLayers>

I didnt want to start a new thread, so Ill ask here.  How do you exclude a layer with the ESRI widget?  I cant figured it out and the documentation is very lacking on  the help page.  If you dont know, ill just make a new thread.  Thanks.

Dustin,

  Did you not see this in the documentation?
<excludelayer> - When a layer is specified (by its name which should match the layer name in the Viewer application's main configuration file), it will not display in the Layer List widget. Multiple excludelayer tags can be specified if you wish to exclude multiple layers.

that was I was reading.  I cant make any sesne out of it.  I tried the layers name itself, using the whole url, [] and "" and I cant get it to work.

Dustin,

It is like this:

<excludelayer>Rivers Labels (144K-1M)</excludelayer>


Main config
<layer label="Rivers Labels (144K-1M)" type="tiled" visible="false" alpha="1"
url="xxx/ArcGIS/rest/services/InlandWaters_RiversWaterbodies_Labels/MapServer">

I'm trying to use the Dynamic Legend widget in flexviewer 2.2 and no legend panel comes up at all.
I am using the compiled version.
I downloaded flexviewer 2.1 and it worked fine in 2.1.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated
Pete
