Hi All Users, I have been given an opportunity to use Cartoweb as the main mapping component within a complaint system in Planning Development Control here in a UK Authority. i want to create a functional prototype using 'postgreSQL' and 'Postgis'. I think it would be a marvelous opportunity to promote Cartoweb (and Open Source Mapping Tools).
The Authority currently use Oracle/ArcIMS technologies to deliver mapping through IE, which provide a very poor user experience. The requirements are basically, 1. The complainant would need to Search an address and zoom to it on a map. 2. The complainant then creates a polygon which retrieves constraints and generates a form to be completed and returned it to the server. 3. The map which includes the polygon is returned 'attached' to the form as a pdf. 4. A receipt is automatically returned to the complainant. My questions are:- 1. What Cartoweb components are required on the Server (i assume Wamp5, and the Cartoweb 3 folder) but is there any other?. 2. Instead of Cartoweb generating a 'label' when a polygon is drawn how can it be modified to point to the url of the form which would be attached to the map?. 3. Can the creation of a Polygon return any underlying spatial objects? Has anyone undertaken a similar project? Paul J.
