Hello,
here are a few guidelines and minimal instructions to build a new project:
* create the main project file in <cartoweb_root>/htdocs/ (in your case
c:\wamp\www\cartoweb3\htdocs\) for instance by copying demoCW3.php and
updating the ENV variable with your project name
* create a new directory in <cartoweb_root>/projects/ and name it with
your project name.
* in the latter directory, add your project specific files.
Subdirectories structure must be copied on the upstream structure
(directories outside of <cartoweb_root>/projects/) or on the demoCW3
project structure.
* in a command line prompt, go to <cartoweb_root>/ and run:
cw3setup.php --install --base-url http://localhost/cartoweb3/htdocs/
This command is needed to make the project resources available in
<cartoweb_root>/htdocs/ which should be the only web-accessible
directory on a well-configured production site.
=> this is the reason why some files seems duplicated in
<cartoweb_root>/htdocs/<your_project>/
=> DO NOT EDIT files outside of <cartoweb_root>/projects/<your_project>/
If your need to update the associated resource, run cw3setup.php
--install... after your changes in the project directory.
Finally, note that the demoCW3 project is a convenient example on how to
build a project but it is not always the best start point. In most
cases it is easier to build a project from scratch and only add the
files you really need.

Hello again,
I just need to understand a couple of things about the folder
structure of Cartoweb3. Firstly, i'm assuming that in order for the
demo to work with my own data i need to ensure that 'cw3setup.php' is
pointing to the ../cartoweb3/htdocs folder.
Secondly, there are two 'My_Project' folders in the following locations
.../cartoweb3/htdocs/My_Project/ ...and
.../cartoweb3/Projects/My_Project/
again i'm assuming that the 'htdocs' is the only one i need to concern
myself with.
Could someone confirm my confusion (easily done)!.
As i understand this i need to copy the 'demoCW3' folder from
.../cartoweb3/htdocs to the '.../cartoweb3/htdocs/My_Project' folder
and copy the demoCW3.php (from htdocs) into the same location
(My_Project). I then change the 'ENV variable' to 'My_Project' and
save with an alternative name to demoCW3.php (this last bit i'm not
sure i've understood).
Can you confirm that i'm pointing the files in the right places.
Many thanks,
Paul Shapley
P.S Sorry to go on about this, i just need to understand the setup in
'laymans' terms.
