My environment is :window 7, Qgis2.8.2, standalone install.
I'm developing a qgis python plugin about mapcomposer.
My qgis project has some mapcomposer template, which contains some soild 
combination of base shp layers.For some reason, i have to choose the 
mapcomposer mapitem's "Lock layers for map item" and "Lock layer styles for map 
item" options, then i need add a shp layer to mainwindow's canvas and update 
that layer to the mapcomposer item. What makes me mad is, when i choose that 
two options, i can't add the layer to mapitem; when i cancle them, it will 
update all mainwindow's layer to the mapitem, which is useless. 
Here is my question, how to add a layer to the locked map composer item.
If this is impossible, i have thought another way, that is add a new composer 
map item which contains the one layer i want, then make the item transparent 
and the same extent with the former item. Could anybody tell me if that is 
workable or not? If that works, may be you can tell me how to add a mapitem 
with a soild layer, not all layers in the main canvas. 
Any help is grateful, thank you!!
