[ckan-dev] ckanext geoview - wfs preview

[Pedro Ferro]

Thanks Guillaume and Matt for the explanations, quiet helpfull.
WFS with just one layer it's not an option for me.

Still have a problem with geoview plugin, the popup don't appear
correctly...
but I will deal with that later because  got a bigger issue with datastore
(I will open a new topic with this subject)
