ckanext-geoview - Geospatial Resource Viewer for CKAN

This extension contains geospatial viewing plugins, namely

  • a ResourceView implementation, compatible with CKAN 2.3+
  • a ResourcePreview implementation for older versions of CKAN

Both implementations rely on OpenLayers 2, and provide support for geospatial formats and protocols such as

  • Mime types: GeoJSON, KML, GML, ESRI JSON, ShapeFile
  • Web Services: WMS, WFS, Google Fusion Tables, ESRI ArcRest

Installation

Inside your pyenv, install using pip:

` pip install -e git+git://github.com/pduchesne/ckanext-geoview.git#egg=ckanext-geoview `

Then add the `geoview` (for CKAN 2.3+) or the `geopreview` plugin (for older versions) into the `ckan.plugins` section of your .ini file.

For CKAN versions 2.2 and older, ensure you have the Resource Proxy enabled. This is done by adding resource_proxy to the ckan.plugins section of your .ini file and adding this config option: ` ckan.resource_proxy_enabled = True `

To be able to view Google Fusion Tables resources, a Google API Key must be configured in the .ini file :

` ckanext.geoview.gapi.key=<API Key here> `

This key must be granted Fusion Tables permissions. More information on obtaining such a key at https://developers.google.com/fusiontables/docs/v1/using#APIKey .

Usage

The `geoview` plugin is available and will register itself automatically on any new resource that has one of the following formats : 'kml','geojson','gml','wms','wfs','shp', 'esrigeojson', 'gft', 'arcgis_rest'

The `geopreview` plugin recognizes the same formats, and will be chosen if possible, according to the priority order defined in the .ini file.
