i2maps's Issues

Documentation needed for Controllers

Documentation is required to explain the concept of "Controllers" and how they are to be written and used.
Need to specify how to define a datasource, what types of parameters methods can accept and what they should return.
Examples needed to show how to access and call controllers from the Javascript side.

Documentation needed for the Task Manager

Documentation is required for the Task Manager.
We need to describe how to define a task and how to use the Task Manager program.

attempt to write a readonly database ..errors.db

Following error occasionally occurs when loading a datasource:
"attempt to write a readonly database ..errors.db"

Not sure why yet. Permissions being changed somehow.

Google Maps API key is hardcoded in i2maps.js

The Google Maps API key is hardcoded in i2maps.js. This should be changed somehow.

Ideally we should move to using API V3 which does not require a key.

Warnings about Shapely and Geojson can cause confusion

i2maps server prints the following if Shapely is not available:
Shapely package is not installed.
You will not be able to import or modify geometries.
More about Shapely: http://trac.gispython.org/lab/wiki/Shapely"

The implications of this are unclear and may lead one to believing there is a problem.
If this is not an error, it should not be printed.

Index Error exception sometimes when loading Datasources/Controllers from Javascript

Problem using inspect somehow.

Public transportation demo Algorithms

Hi, First of all, i'd like to congratulations to all of you, for this project, and second is that i'm about to develop a Vehicle GIS Track Project, and i was watching Public transportation demo, i'd like to do something like this, but there is not examples in everywhere, i'd like to move the markers and the lines, as Public transportation demo do it, but i am lost, i have not much experience with openlayer and i have not experience at all with Python, so my question is:

What Tools should i have to achieve my project? could you give to me a little help?
I'm testing with Openlayers, and KML format ( No databases), to draw a lines and markers, but i do not know how to move the markers and the line as Public transportation demo. Does exists a special Algorithm?

Thanks.

Documentation needed for Datasources

Documentation required to explain how to connect to different types of datasources (Postgres, Sqlite, etc), including all the possible paramaters.

Datasources and Controllers (confusing terminology)

A distinction needs to be made between datasources like databases and datasources as defined as Python modules. I propose to rename the Python modules as controllers and make a clear distinction in how they are accessed.
