Thanks for that tutorial. I'll need to first have administrative access to both GeoServer and PostgreSQL running on a server.
So, I'm thinking of setting up, as I mentioned, both mapserver via geomoose and geoserver. I am new to all of this, so I'm going to send questions to the individual mailing lists to get help setting up. Does anyone think there is a way I can just use the tools through a server providing the tools as a free service? If I should just go ahead and install everything on my own server, I was thinking of setting up a server through godaddy, a third-party service. Is this a bad idea? I don't want to have any problems, and they're good with customer support. I have no experience setting up a server on my own... I'll send links to the threads I start on the geoserver and geomoose mailing lists. thanks, nitin On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 8:32 PM, Noli Sicad <nsi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Here's a tutorial for OpenLayers WFS-T Using a GeoServer Hosted PostGIS > Layer. > > "A WFS-Transaction can be used to add, remove or modify the features > that are loaded, and most importantly allows for the changes to be > committed back and saved to the parent source." > > > http://www.gistutor.com/openlayers/22-advanced-openlayers-tutorials/47-openlayers-wfs-t-using-a-geoserver-hosted-postgis-layer.html > > Noli > > On 8/3/11, Nitin Gadia <nitty...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I just had a good conversation with Tyler Mitchell at OSGeo. > > > > I am going to dive in and set up a server with openlayers and try > different > > tools for the server layer. > > > > What I need is something that deals well with WFS-T and WMS-T. > > WFS-T is for adding and editing features, and WMS-T is for requesting > maps > > with a time component. > > > > Noli Sicad above gave a great overview article about WMS-T, which > mapserver > > has developed and geoserver is working on: > > > http://underdark.wordpress.com/2011/06/10/wms-t-support-in-geoserver-and-mapserver/ > > > > I am going to do some research into WFS-T. > > Any thoughts? > > > > Looks like geoserver and mapserver handle that, as well as geomajas, > > deegree, mapfish, and others. > > > > I'm going to dive right in and set up both mapserver (perhaps using > > geomoose) and geoserver\ > > I'll be needing help setting it all up, so I'll probably be asking the > > individual mailing lists for help with that along the way. > > > > ... and by the way, there's a good chance I will attend FOSS4G, perhaps I > > can talk to people there and attend a related workshop. > > > > > > > > Any thoughts about what components should be used, and the advantages and > > disadvantages of each? > > > > > > > > Nitin > > > > > > > > > > On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 1:50 PM, Nitin Gadia <nitty...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > >> fantastic!! > >> thanks! > >> Hopefully they will become part of the team :) > >> > >> This is just for countries - imagine every road, city, ethnic and > >> linguistic group, the flow of trade, events such as battles and wars, > >> etc... > >> and animated... > >> > >> There is so much out there, it all needs to kind of put together. > >> > >> > >> nitin > >> > >> > >> On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 12:51 PM, Wladimir Szczerban > >> <bolo...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> > >>> Hi Nitin, > >>> > >>> Maybe you can contact those who made this map. > >>> http://geacron.com/home-es/?lang=es&sid=GeaCron860293 > >>> > >>> Perhaps you can get some collaboration. > >>> > >>> Bolo > >>> > >>> > >>> 2011/8/1 Nitin Gadia <nitty...@gmail.com> > >>> > >>>> Great!! > >>>> > >>>> So, I went forward and started a page on the OSGeo Wiki around the > >>>> project: > >>>> http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Open_Online_Polygon_Mapping_Communities > >>>> > >>>> *Does anyone else know of any other open polygon mapping effort or > >>>> tools? > >>>> *It is very important that the full breadth of the efforts are > >>>> inventoried before i/we go forward with this.* > >>>> * > >>>> So far we have: > >>>> > >>>> *Openlayers > >>>> *Open Moose (uses openlayers) > >>>> > >>>> WMS-T: > >>>> *MapServer > >>>> *GeoSolutions > >>>> > >>>> There is also: > >>>> *Geocommons > >>>> *click2map > >>>> > >>>> > >>>> Anything else?? > >>>> Feel free to respond here or write on the wiki page :) > >>>> > >>>> > >>>> Thanks, > >>>> Nitin > >>>> > >>>> > >>>> > >>>> > >>>> > >>>> On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 8:22 PM, Noli Sicad <nsi...@gmail.com> wrote: > >>>> > >>>>> > Someone also told me you can do polygons in openstreetmap (parking > >>>>> lots, > >>>>> > buildings, etc.).
