[ckan-dev] Important update on geospatial view plugins

Wed Jun 17 18:00:20 UTC 2015

Here are some examples:

https://smartlane.io/dataset/different-geo-visualizations/resource/045d88a8-6a1e-4f41-b23c-fa5efa549d34

The geoview plugin was not enabled in demo.ckan.org. I have enabled it
now and the viewer is loaded, although I can't see any layer from your
WMS:
