Configuration

1. Install the application as requirement:

   pip install -e git+https://github.com/geosolutions-it/geonode-rndt@master#egg=rndt
   

2. Add "rndt" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this::

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
      'rndt',
      ...
   ]
   

   NOTE: make sure to put 'rndt' as the first app (or anyway before 'geonode')

   If you have a local_setting file, you may want to add the rndt app with these lines:

   geonode_index = INSTALLED_APPS.index('geonode')
   INSTALLED_APPS = INSTALLED_APPS[:geonode_index]+('rndt',)+INSTALLED_APPS[geonode_index:]
   

3. In geonode.settings.py set DIR for TEMPLATES as [] in order to let the app overrides the templates.

   If you have a local_setting file, you may want to do it with this line:

   TEMPLATES[0]['DIRS'] = []
   

4. In order to let the app overrides some static files, move the AppDirectoriesFinder as the first item in geonode.settings.py in STATICFILES_FINDERS settings.
   The output should be something like this:

   STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
      'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
      'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder'
   )
   

5. Enable RNDT context processors in geonode.settings.py by adding the following line in TEMPLATES:

   'OPTIONS': {
      'context_processors': [
          ...
          'rndt.context_processors.rndt_tags'
      ],
   }
   

   If you have a local_setting file, you may want to do it with this line:

   TEMPLATES[0]['OPTIONS']['context_processors'].append('rndt.context_processors.rndt_tags')
   

6. Run python manage.py migrate to create the RNDT models.

7. To enable the UUIDHandler, add the following line in the geonode.settings.py file:

   LAYER_UUID_HANDLER = "rndt.uuidhandler.UUIDHandler"
   

8. To customize the metadata document to be RNDT compliant, use the rndt template:

   CATALOG_METADATA_TEMPLATE = 'xml/template-rndt.xml'
   

Tests

In order to run tests (NOTE: must be in geonode venv), run python -m unittest -v to create the RNDT models.

Uninstalling

To uninstall the app, remove all the rndt functionalities (INSTALLED_APPS and context_processors) from geonode.settings.py and restart the server. If needed made an hard refresh to let the browser reload the js/css/html files (windows: CTRL+ SHIFT+R | Mac: CMD+SHIFT+R)

Other config

Some custom environment variables are avaiable:

• DISABLE_LAYER_CONSTRAINTS (default true)

  If true will hide from the Layers Metadata edit wizard page, the contraints in the tab Location and Licenses
