Hello Mezzanine community, There are some moments where a developer needs to raise the white flag and ask for help. This is my time.
I'm trying to integrate a GIS and Mezzanine. My first option was MapServer but it went terrible (plus, the documentation was in general not good) so I decided to try a django based option called GeoNode. I've been stuck for 2 weeks now trying to integrate this framework with mezzanine, but it always reads the models wrong (for instance it thinks that a page is an int or stuffs like that). Evidently 2 weeks is a long time for a developer but I basically have not to much choice. Some would ask why not use GeoDjango. It's because it lacks of raster support (it only reads them, I need more than that, I need queries and even manipulation, which GeoNode (GeoServer) and MapServer in theory have). But in case that this fails, then I will haveto try GeoDjango because either way I need to make this work and I'm running out of time (and definitely ideas). What I'm asking here is the following: if you are willing, can you try for yourselves to integrate both frameworks to see if you can make them work? GeoNone documentation is here: http://geonode.readthedocs.org/, it tells you what you need and how to install it. I could tell you what I've done so far but I'm afraid that if I do I might predispose your creativity and way of thinking (which is not the point). I just need it to successfully run, how it works a GIS doesn't matter here. Things you need to have if you are going to try this: PostgreSQL and PostGIS and of course a virtual environment (virtualenv or virtualwrapper). I would appreciate any help, if even Stephen gets time for this it would be nice (I know he is working on the new release of Mezzanine, and also in vacations). Thanks in advance and hope you can help me. MR -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Mezzanine Users" group.
