This reusable app enable you to geotag your objects. Let me develop a bit what do I mean by geotag. You can associate a point, a line and a Polygon to any objects defined by your other django application used by your project. This reusable app comes with a convenient user interface that integrate this feature in django admin interface.
django-geotagging is the name of the project which is commposed of 3 building blocks that I am going to details :
- geotags
This is the django reusable app that allows you to geotags any object in the django database.
- geotagging_demo_project
This demo project gives you the possibility to use geotags directly after the installation.
- geotagging_tests
This is a django app that contains all the tests of geotags and also a DummyModel that you could use to experiment with geotags.
In order to use django-geotagging, you will need to have a functioning installation of Django 1.0 or newer and then follow the instruction given in the file called INSTALL.rst.
You can use this reusable application in at least 2 ways. You can start with project embed in the repository and extend it with other django apps or you can put geotags inside your PYTHONPATH and add it into the INSTALLED_APP. INSTALL.rst, inside the docs directory, explains how to install this app. TUTORIAL.rst shows the capability of this reusable app. django-geotagging allows you to :
- associate in the admin site a Point, Line, Polygon to any object in your django project
- produce kml feed per geometry and per content type
- view these feeds on a map
- View the objects in your neighborhood
- Increase the test coverage
- Template tags to make the usage of the maps easier.
- Geocoder requires jQuery. The implementation sould be transformed to pure js
You could contribute to this project in several ways : feedback, documentation, translation, code and probably many more.
