Enhydris-medsalgis - Extra map layers

Overview

Enhydris-medsalgis provides layers (such as water basins and river networks) for the Medsal project. In the repository there's also MapServer configuration for serving these layers with WMS and WFS.

The app is specific to the Medsal project and several things are hardwired in the code.

Installing and configuring

• Install Enhydris 4 or later

• Make sure enhydris_medsalgis is in the PYTHONPATH, or link to it from the top-level directory of Enhydris.

• In the Enhydris enhydris_project/settings/local.py file, add enhydris_medsalgis to INSTALLED_APPS, add enhydris_medsalgis.middleware.MedsalGISMiddleware to MIDDLEWARE, and specify the mapserver root url in ENHYDRIS_OWS_URL.

  ENHYDRIS_OWS_URL must end in a slash; it does not include the filename medsalgis.map, which is hardwired and appended to ENHYDRIS_OWS_URL automatically. In fact, the current language may also be inserted, so that the resulting URL may be something like ENHYDRIS_OWS_URL/el/medsalgis.map (but ENHYDRIS_OWS_URL/medsalgis.map also works; it is the default "unlocalized"—actually English—URL).

• Start MapServer and access these layers.
