Use MapLoom in your django projects.

Project description

django-exchange-maploom
==============

This is a fork of GeoSHAPE Maploom to use with Exchange before changes are added upstream to GeoSHAPE.

A Django wrapper for [MapLoom](https://github.com/boundlessgeo/MapLoom).

Installation
------------
Install the latest stable version from PIP:

```pip install django-exchange-maploom```

Download django-maploom and install it directly from source:

```python setup.py install```

Project Configuration
---------------------

Once installed you can configure your project to use
django-maploom with the following steps.

Add ``maploom`` to ``INSTALLED_APPS`` in your project's
``settings`` module:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'maploom',
# other apps
)

Usage
-----

Once installed, you can easily add maploom to any template on your site.

First load the template tags in your template:

{% load maploom_tags %}

In the ```<head>``` section of your html section add the MapLoom js files:

{% maploom_js %}

Then add a map loom map to your page by placing the following tag anywhere in the ```<body>``` tags:

{% maploom_html %}


Adding in GeoNode
-----------------
To use MapLoom as your GeoNode map client, follow the Project Configuration steps above. Next, add the MapLoom urls
to the bottom of the `urls.py` file in GeoNode and append them to the GeoNode url patterns.

```
from maploom.geonode.urls import urlpatterns as maploom_urls

urlpatterns += maploom_urls
```
**Note:** When adding `maploom` to the `INSTALLED_APPS` setting, order matters. Django will return the first template
it finds that matches a given name, therefore be sure that the MapLoom application precedes the `geonode.maps`
application in your `INSTALLED_APPS` setting.
