<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>the roles are declared in
client_conf/auth.ini</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>to be able to use the edition, a role must equal
"editor"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>see the example files in the demoEdit project</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>security_view is a keyword and cant be changed. what you
can set is its value.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>its explained in <A
href="http://www.cartoweb.org/doc_head/docbook/xhtml/user.security.html">http://www.cartoweb.org/doc_head/docbook/xhtml/user.security.html</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>www-data is related to the operating system and is
what is used by php or postgres to write data, it has nothing to do
with the user and roles withing Cartoweb .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>as for the edition interface, I suggest you read the
tutorial <A
href="http://www.cartoweb.org/cwiki/HowToUseTheEdition">http://www.cartoweb.org/cwiki/HowToUseTheEdition</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>If something doesnt work as expected, it is most probably
because of a bad installation or configuration.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>As for the metadata related to the edition, they are
listed there:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><A
href="http://www.cartoweb.org/doc_head/docbook/xhtml/user.edit.html">http://www.cartoweb.org/doc_head/docbook/xhtml/user.edit.html</A></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>most of the metadata are linked to the database, the last
one, "edit_attributes", list all the attribute which are recovered from the DB
table and transfered to Cartoweb and that you can then set via the edition
interface.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>regards</FONT></DIV>

Edition plugin to work</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I have installed Cartoweb and tested it with the different
examples it works fine.<BR>I have even installed postgres and put some maps
which i can access. I have two related problems with the edition
plugin though because i can not edit points, lines and polygons.
They are only displayed.<BR>
<OL>
<LI>
<DIV>where do i define roles (editor, super user etc) other than
the special roles? In the map file how do i specify the security for
editing? Can i write "Security_edit" instead of "Security_view" and what is
"some_specific parameter"? In a related example sql, tables are
granted to www-data; is that an example of permissions i can set for a user
("www-data")</DIV>
<LI>
<DIV> It appears to me that not all the tool bar items are implemented
or am wrong? How can i move points and lines with the tool bar? I have used
the tool items but they don't move and give me an error of null object. If
they moved would they take on the new coordinates
automatically?</DIV></LI></OL>I guess in short a description of the edit
plugin functions related to layers and their metadata would
help.<BR> <BR>Thank you<BR>Broun<BR><BR>
