INTRODUCTION

Visualize different DKAN "resources" included in the same "dataset" on the same interactive map.

Choropleth Dataset also enables you to overlaying point-based maps on top of choropleth maps, and provides an iframeable view path so that maps can be embedded on other websites.

Live examples:

The choropleth_dataset module was built to work with the DKAN distribution and extend the DKAN Dataset and Choropleth modules.

REQUIREMENTS

This module requires the following modules:

INSTALLATION

CONFIGURATION

  • Configure user permissions in Administration » People » Permissions:
  • View choropleth renderings must be granted to any role that should be able to see the choropleth map for a dataset.
  • Any resource that has data for a map should have the Recline View of States Map or Map enabled. If any of the resources in a dataset have this enabled, then a link to the choropleth view will appear when viewing the dataset node.

TROUBLESHOOTING

  • The choropleth_dataset display is largely javascript based, so if the map fails to appear, the console in your browser is a good place to look. It is possible that a javascript error from something unrelated to choropleth_dataset is preventing choropleth_dataset from running.
  • Not seeing the choropleth link when viewing the dataset page? Check to make sure that at least one of the resources in the dataset is set to have a a Recline view of State Map or Map.

FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS

  • Currently this module only supports resources that are file uploads. It does not support links to files or links to an API.
  • Currently only supports state regions. It could be expanded to countries or counties in a model similar to how the choropleth module handles it.
