Not able to get the preview of KML files.

[shubham-mahajan]

Hi Team

I have installed the extension as per readme, but I am not able to get the preview. No error is coming either in JS or in CKAN. Are there any dependencies that I need to install for ckanext-geoview to work properly.

The preview is completely blank page. Attaching the screenshot for the same.

Loading... The text is coming and after that, it went blank.

Thanks

Hello Shubham,

I tried that resource on a local instance of mine and it worked fine.
can you share a link to an online CKAN instance that reproduces the problem?

Hi @pduchesne ,

I am also working on local instance only, but if you require I will set up the same in public instance and share the same. The basic difference I am able to see with a working site and my instance are mainly mapconfig options in the inspection of the elements. Is there any dependency on other extension or Framework?

Can you share your ckanext.spatial.* and ckanext.geoview.* values from your config? And your basemaps.json config, if you have one.

I have not installed the spatial extension, is it required for geoview to work, it's not there in documentation.

ckan.plugins = stats geo_view text_view image_view resource_proxy
ckan.views.default = image_view geo_view
ckan.spatial.srid = 4326
ckanext.geoview.ol_viewer.formats = wms kml geojson

OK, I got it.

There's been a regression causing the default basemap to fail. I'll fix that.

In the mean time, to be able to work with your current install, you'll have to explicitly specify a basemap in your config, f.i. :

ckanext.spatial.common_map.type = XYZ
ckanext.spatial.common_map.custom.url = http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
ckanext.spatial.common_map.attribution = Map tiles & Data by OpenStreetMap, under CC BY SA.

my bad, you should use this (custom type) :

ckanext.spatial.common_map.type = custom
ckanext.spatial.common_map.custom.url = http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
ckanext.spatial.common_map.attribution = Map tiles & Data by OpenStreetMap, under CC BY SA.

Hi @pduchesne

Thanks for providing the configuration, it's displaying the display. But default, MAP Viewer(Open Layers) is not getting created for KML files/URLs. Is there any option or configuration entry for default view as MAP Viewer for all the KML files.

P.S.
Configuration entries used are:-

ckan.plugins = stats geo_view text_view image_view resource_proxy
ckan.views.default = image_view geo_view
ckan.spatial.srid = 4326
ckanext.geoview.ol_viewer.formats = wms kml geojson
ckanext.spatial.common_map.type = custom
ckanext.spatial.common_map.custom.url = http://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
ckanext.spatial.common_map.attribution = Map tiles & Data by OpenStreetMap, under CC BY SA.

the correct config key for default views is ckan.views.default_views, not ckan.views.default

Thanks a lot, everything is working fine now. For default view, it was a typo.
