Ariel brought up this issue in channel earlier. Wanted to recap the discussion for the list.
Ariel pointed out the following bug: that after uploading new data the layer page is not accessible anymore. This raised a couple issues around the "replace data" functionality. First, what should happen when a user uploads a shapefile that doesn't have the same typename? I think the typename should stay the same and the new filename should be thrown out. David brought up an additional problem, which is that if the new shapefile has a substantially different schema, it can break styles that are associated with that layer. What's the solution to this bug? I think that if the way that best short-term solution is to add whatever error handling is needed for the broken styles to fail gracefully, and let the user clean up after broken styles as needed. Do these descriptions match others' expectations? If so, then I'll make tickets about them. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: GeoNode <[email protected] <ak%[email protected]>> Date: Tue, Jul 20, 2010 at 12:15 PM Subject: Re: [GeoNode] #645: Data update view hangs (403) To: Cc: [email protected], [email protected] #645: Data update view hangs (403) -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: ingenieroariel | Owner: ingenieroariel Type: task | Status: closed Priority: major | Milestone: 0.1.2.0 Data Management Foundations Component: Meta | Version: Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Totalhours: 0 | Blockedby: Sensitive: 0 | Estimatedhours: 0 Blocking: | -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Changes (by ingenieroariel): * status: new => closed * resolution: => fixed Comment: Fixed in http://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/commit/ad7bf1e2e66e6953d5c61afc42c0f53a2b42c34b Aater fixing that I found out the new data does not get correctly configured.
