[Cartoweb-users] creating new projects

[Yves Jacolin]

Hi Andre,

For one of my project I create a php script which can create some config 
file : mapfile, layers.ini and outline.ini file if wanted.

You can download the script here : 
http://wiki.gloobe.org/doku.php?id=cw3_scripts
With some informations (in french sorry).

A short explanation :
php-cgi scripts/makemapfile.php --install --project script 
--data-dir /var/local/ --outline --layers 
--filter 18,36,37,28,41 --postgis pgsql://postgres:postgres@localhost/edit_db

--install : run the script
--project : create files for this projects
--data-dir : use this directory to retrieve spatial data and some config 
files. The script use the directory tree to create the same tree in the 
layer.ini file
--outline : option to set up outline.ini file
-- layers : option to create layers.ini file
-- filter : do not use file which contains this word
--postgis : create postgis layers in the mapfile and in the layers.ini files. 
Use the geometry table to do so.

Config :
You have to create some config file :
    * /url/path/
    * /url/path/config/
    * /url/path/config/config.ini
    * /url/path/config/raster.ini
    * /url/path/config/vector.ini
    * /url/path/rep1/fichier2.shp
    * /url/path/fichier1.shp
    * ...
/url/path is your dataDir option.
config.ini is the header of the mapfile !
raster.ini and vector.ini are special config file. If you use a name close to 
one of your spatial data, this file will be used for the class parameter.

Ths script is licenced under a GPL licence. Do not hesitate to improve it ;-)
