Re: [Arches] Arches Installation Unable to run Django Server

[Susan Penacho]

Hi Adam,
No, that was an issue. I couldn't create my_project. I feel like its me not 
understanding the directions (I only made it this far since Scott Branting, 
my supervisor for Arches walked me through it step by step). I entered "
python C:\ArchesProjects\ENV\Scripts\arches-project create my_project"
into my command prompt and got the following:

C:\>python C:\ArchesProjects\ENV\Scripts\arches-project create my_project

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\ArchesProjects\ENV\Scripts\arches-project", line 6, in

 Hi,
 Last week I had Arches up and running where I could log in and see the 
 main arches interface through the localhost. However, this week, I can no 
 longer run the Django server to launch arches. I am working on a local 
 computer with Windows 10 which I am using to build our graphs before it

 After activating the virtual environment and starting elastic search,

Re: [Arches] Arches Installation Unable to run Django Server

[Adam Cox]

Hi Susan, ok, sounds like it's an issue with using the new project. Can you
confirm you had entered the new project and that's where you were running
manage.py from?

Re: [Arches] Arches Installation Unable to run Django Server

[Susan Penacho]

Hi Alexei,
Thank you for getting back to me quickly. I am not totally sure what 
changed. I was finishing working through the arches install steps to try 
and fix the greyed out issue once I had logged on. Using the website steps, 
I tried to create an arches project since I didn't have the project 
directory. 

Alex is right that I was using the repo. I have not tried running that 
again.

Thanks for the help. I am just a humble archaeologist and all this is a 
little past my computer skills.

Re: [Arches] Arches Installation Unable to run Django Server

[Adam Cox]

I believe she would be using the repository, because I script I had written
up uses the repo installation, not pip. Whenever the script was last run,
that's the version of the repo that would be used in her installation.
Susan, have you tried rerunning the script between now and last week? I
think that could be the issue, because things are changing in the repo
everyday.

That script should probably be changed to a pip install, to avoid issues
like this. It was just developed in conjunction with the Liverpool workshop
at which time the github repo was the best method.

Re: [Arches] Arches Installation Unable to run Django Server

[Alexei Peters]

Hi Susan,
What changed between last week and this?  Have you pip installed Arches, or
are you running directly from the repository?
Obviously something changed.  It just a matter of pip pointing what.
Cheers,
Alexei

[Arches] Arches Installation Unable to run Django Server

[Susan Penacho]

Hi,
Last week I had Arches up and running where I could log in and see the main 
arches interface through the localhost. However, this week, I can no longer 
run the Django server to launch arches. I am working on a local computer 
with Windows 10 which I am using to build our graphs before it goes live on 
a remote server. Any help would be much appreciated.

After activating the virtual environment and starting elastic search, when 
I try to run the Django server I get the following error:

 

(ENV) C:\ArchesProjects\arches>python manage.py runserver

Traceback (most recent call last):

[Arches] Re: Arches for PPGIS / mapping interface

[Dennis Wuthrich]

Andrew/Jaime,

It looks like you are conflating 2 different things in Arches.

Importing a shapefile means loading the geospatial data in the shapefile 
into the Arches database.  You do this by configuring the mapping file 
associated with the resource model(s) that you want to populate.

Arches also supports a separate capability: creating mapping services that 
can define "overlays" that users can add to maps (e.g.: the search map or 
data entry forms that include maps).  In this case, you don't import the 
shapefile; instead you configure a mapping service that references your 
shapefile.  If you're familiar with geospatial web services, Arches 
implements a mapping server (Tilestache) to create vector and raster map 
services.  We implement this so that you can overlay geodata (say from your 
corporate GIS or other sources) on top of Arches' resources. 

Based on your question, I'm not sure if you're trying to import data or 
configure a map service.  Arches supports either possibility.  Note that if 
you import data from the shapefile into an Arches resource model, Arches 
will automatically create the map service for you.

Hope this points you in the right direction.

Cheers,

Dennis

 Hi Dennis

 Thanks very much for your reply. We'll have a closer look and will get 
 back with any technical questions.

 Best wishes

Hi Dennis

Thanks very much again for the response.

As a follow on question: when the .shp file has been converted to .csv, is 
the import carried out from the same admin panel that you navigate from to 
create new users? (i.e. an entry is created in "Map layers", "Map sources" 
and "Tileserver layers" respectively).

Best wishes

Andrew/Jamie

 Hi Andrew and Jamie,

 Nice to hear that you found the Liverpool Arches Workshop useful.

 You asked several specific questions about extending v4:

 1) Is it possible to create plugins/widgets/add-ons that can be applied 
 to the basemap in Arches? - for example, is there a menu within Arches or 
 would this have to be created externally?

 Answer: Yes, you can create or extend widgets in v4.  In particular, 
 you could support the ability to drag pins from a menu onto a map and save 
 the location of the pins back to the Arches database.  The specific 
 technical steps are pretty straightforward.  To start, I suggest that you 
 take a look at the existing map widget to see how the it manages data 
 creation/saving/indexing.  This may be enough for you to see how to extend 
 the widget.  At a minimum, you'll be in a position to ask specific 
 technical questions.

 Cheers,

 Dennis
