collective.geo.file 0.2

An openlayers view for KML and GPX files

Introduction
============

collective.geo.file provides a view for KML (Keyhole Markup Language)
and GPX (GPS eXchange Format) files.
The view renders the file in a openlayers Map using the collective.geo
library.

The product does not introduce a content type but adds an additional
view to the Archetypes file and collection type.

When you upload a KML file with the
correct mimetype 'application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml' (i.e with
the extension *.kml) or 'application/gpx+xml' (i.e. with the extension
*.gpx) the map view will be applied by default.

For Collections an additional view is added that displays all KML and GPX files
returned by the query as a layer. Choose 'KML File Map View' from the
display menue of the topic.

You have to register the mimetype 'application/gpx+xml' manually in
the Plone MimeTypes Registry:

# In the ZMI, go to the root of your Plone site.
# Go into the mimetypes_registry
# At the top of that sreen is a button to Add a New MIME type. Click that.
# In the resulting screen, complete that form.
# In name, enter 'GPS eXchange Format'.
# Check 'Binary?'.
# In mime-type, enter: 'application/gpx+xml'.
# In Extensions, enter: 'gpx'.
# In Globs, enter: '*.gpx'.



Known Issues
============

If you assign coordinates to the file with the IGeoreferenceable Interface
you have to set the viewletmanager to 'Do not display map' otherwise
it will _REALLY_ screw up your view. To do this you currently have to
use the svn.plone.org/svn/collective/collective.geo.*/branches/nan-viewlet-manager/
branch of collective.geo (hopefully it will get merged into trunk
soon) The coordinates assigned there will display as the first layer
on the 'Map View' of the file and they will display in the
'KML File Map View' of a topic.
