Hi Tim,
The changes you describe sound fine to me.
My osgeo username is "neumann", I believe the same username was also
used in svn. I would need access to the documentation (manual) and to
the QGIS webclient parts of the repository.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the migration. I had a meeting with Pirmin yesterday and
we
started a redmine project for QGIS web client. We already filed a
few bugs
where I don't yet have a solution: see
http://hub.qgis.org/projects/qgis-web-client
Ok cool. I added myself to the manager list there.
I think we should also offer a mobile client for Smartphones/Tablets
in the
future based on the newer OpenLayers version. I won't have time
before
autumn to work on it, but maybe someone else wants to start earlier.
For me its not a priority as well - I am doing some work for a client
and they have agreed we can contribute any improvements back to the
web client project so I will try to make my changes in a generic way
as far as possible.
We will be doing some refactoring to try to make better separation
of
the user configurable parts from the generic parts. Most likely we
will just rename user configurable files to .templ and provide
instructions that those files should be copied like so:
cp file.templ file
When setting up the project. We will document the procedures
required etc.
I do not understand the idea with the .templ files. I actually tried
to keep
everything "configurable" in the file js/GlobalOptions.js - do you
think
there are additional parameters that need to be configurable?
In our testing there are three files that need configuring:
- index.html (we added this to make a more user friendly landing page
so that user doesnt need to remember urls with ?map=foo in them.
- index.xml (at the moment this has Uster specific stuff in)
- js/GlobalOptions (also has project specific stuff in it)
We didnt implement search stuff here yet so that would also get added
to the above list probably.
We want to separate anything that the user will change in his
deployment from stuff that is version controlled in git. This way a
user makes no fork of the project when he customises it for his site,
and can benifit from upstream updates and improvements.
We also rename icons to gis_icons by the way because if you deploy it
in the default apache route the /icons alias is already take by
apache
and no icons show in the ui.
I'm also making more changes to my own fork which creates more of a
directory structure and tries to make it as easy as possible for a
new
project to be deployed. It looks something like this for me at the
moment:
.
├── apache-conf
├── cgi-bin
├── data
├── readme.txt
├── sample_wms_requests.txt
├── site
└── wsgi
I am creating a simple hello world project too so that when using a
default deployment, the user gets a working usable app out of the
box.
The data for the project is included in the repo i a simple
spatiallite db.
Hopefully these updates are acceptible for you and Pirmin (and others
interested).
Those who need access to the QGIS Web Client team so that they can
push directly to the official repo please let me know and I will
add
you.
Can you please add me?
Sure - can you confirm your github user name please?
Thanks
Tim
Thanks,
Andreas
