OpenLayers 3 ?

[Guillaume]

Hi,

I'm a quite new Django/GeoDjango user and i wonder if the geodjango release with OL3 would be put in a stable release soon.

Being a GIS Engineer and not a Python/Django developper i also wonder how i can help.

Trying to get more familiar with GeoDjango and to make application prototyprd i faced the following situation : 

- working on the top of OL2 with actual geodjango

- creating my own template with OL3

- waiting for the OL3 to be used by GeoDjango and then work on top of it

- ... or changing for Leaflet

Which solutions are the more followed in the community ?

Best regards,

Guillaume

Hi Guillaume. This is done already, in Django 1.11 (mentioned in the
release notes).
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.11/

I'm not aware of community polls about library usage.
As for me, I have projects with both OL3 and Leaflet. This choice
depends on developers familiarity and on project specific needs.

It's not possible to say out of the blue which one is the best choice
for you.
By the way, django-leaflet is very nice when working with Leaflet.

OK thanks,

I just realized that i looked first at admin widget which still looks OL2 and did not check my forms that are now made of OL3.

In stable 1.11.X branch in github this source https://github.com/django/django/blob/stable/1.11.x/django/contrib/gis/admin/options.py, uses : 

https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/openlayers/2.13.1/OpenLayers.js

Is extra_js a good way to add custom (and simple) map controls to the admin side map widget ? if it is is there such a way to do it in form mapp widget too ?

best regards,

Guillaume

Ah yes, https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/27674

Probably, I'm not using the customized ModelAdmin classes myself.

Sure, the best way is to make your own widget inheriting from the base
ones. Then you can provide all JS/CSS you want in the class definition.
