[ckan-dev] problem with spatial previews

Wed Aug 12 09:59:42 UTC 2015

I can confirm that WFS does not work.

KML, GeoJSON and WMS should all be working:
KML:
https://smartlane.io/dataset/different-geo-visualizations/resource/06df2d49-5920-42e8-b73d-860aeea823a8
GeoJSON works but I recommend you use the GeoJSON view installed with
ckanext_geoview and not the openlayers view.
https://smartlane.io/dataset/different-geo-visualizations/resource/d31fcbfb-6611-48b5-91f4-630553316521
WMS:
https://smartlane.io/dataset/different-geo-visualizations/resource/045d88a8-6a1e-4f41-b23c-fa5efa549d34

Regarding WMS take a look at the URL on the example page to check you are
putting something sensible in. There is a request to visualize individual
layers (https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-geoview/issues/22)

And in general, it's worth installing the extension from the latest master
code on GitHub and not from pip.

Best,
Matt
