collective.geo allows to geo-reference Plone content types and to display this information over a map.
collective.geo uses the following packages from the zgeo project (http://trac.gispython.org/primagis):
- zgeo.geographer and zgeo.plone.geographer, which offer geographic annotation for Zope and Plone.
- zgeo.kml and zgeo.plone.kml, which provide a Google Earth KML view for Zope and Plone.
collective.geo bundle is composed by the following packages:
- collective.geo.openlayers
- enables openlayers machinery into Plone.
- collective.geo.geopoint
- provides some generic utilities.
- collective.geo.settings
- provides a GUI to store settings of collective.geo packages.
- collective.geo.contentlocations
- provides a GUI for zgeo.plone.geographer.
It provides some simple forms to add geographical coordinates to Plone content types. - collective.geo.kml
- overrides kml-document provided by the "zgeo.plone.kml" package to integrate some additional options. It provides a map view to Plone Folder and Topic content types to display kml data.
To display the maps, collective.geo takes advantage of Openlayers, a JavaScript library for displaying map data in web browsers, with no server-side dependencies.
As a default map source we can select Google Maps or OpenStreetMap.
