This code is intended to be an example prototype application using GeoDjango and GeoExt.

There are two entities:

• Country
• Evaluation

One Country may have 0 to many evaluations. The application let the user to edit and query the entities using the Django admin interface, or to show the countries in a OpenLayers map, letting the user to display by selecting a country all of the related evaluations.

• Create a virtual environment and activate it:

  $ virtualenv prj-env --no-site-packages --python=python2.7
  $ . prj-env/bin/activate

• Install the needed python libraries:

  $ pip install -r requirements.txt

• Edit the settings.py file for using your database settings and syncronize the database:

  $ ./manage.py syncdb

• Import country data from shapefile and generate some random evaluations for testing:

  $ ./manage.py shell 
  >>> from evaluations.models import Country
  >>> from evaluations.utils import generate_data
  >>> generate_data.import_country()
  >>> generate_data.generate_random_test_data()

• for importing the shapefile you could use ogr2ogr as well:

  $ ogr2ogr -append -f PostgreSQL -sql "SELECT NAME AS name FROM 'countries'" -nlt MULTIPOLYGON PG:"dbname='evaluations' user='myuser' password='mypassword'" -nln evaluations_country evaluations/data/countries.sh

• Run the development server:

  $ ./manage runserver

• Add some evaluation entities and modify country information via the admin interface: http://localhost:8000/admin/
• Then navigate to the front end and test the application: http://localhost:8000/evaluations/map
