arcsump Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 as of the moment we had success in using drupal - php with mysql and geoserver in xampp environment, with openlayers as the client. however we tried MapBender as the initial front end framework, and was too complicated. http://www.mapbender.org/Mapbender_Wiki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capricorn Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Lurker, are you using Community or Enterprise Edition? What I hear, Community vs Enterprise are something like Fedora vs Red Hat? German people made some very good apllications (not only in GIS field), but the problem is they do not care much about other documentation languages. Examples in WebGIS are MapBender and kvwmap. http://sourceforge.net/projects/kvwmap/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcsump Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 our team is in the process of using the openlayers module. i am also trying to inject some JS library (particularly EXTJS 4) for some forms for some formula computing, although there is an obvious problem of a separate css there are modules that use google api such as geofields, which would be enough for visualization. Drupal has its own css and is a content management system that allows you to select which content available to a particular group of users. Yes you can try OpenGeo and study GeoExt api, We treid starting from scratch because there are some components of OpenGeo we don't need, such as postGIS. i'll update as soon as i can, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are worrying about the documentation and the resources in case of troubleshooting, then there is an active forum for it. There are also lots of fora out there.
