Topic: Openlayers and geoserver integration
Another question: on a Report, using e.g. Dynamic Report Explorer is there any way to bring in GeoServer layers using PHP - for example putting something like this in the WMS layers from GeoServer box:
powerlinestool: <?php return $_GET['dynamic-taxon_meaning_list'];?>
This doesn't work but hopefully shows what I am trying to do if I have a GeoServer layer with the same name as the taxon_meaning_list.
For my site I need to set up various map outputs which will be different from the standard Indicia report outputs and which will call a lot of shapefile layers from GeoServer. On other Drupal sites I have used the Openlayers and Views modules to do this (e.g. http://www.landscapesnamibia.org/fish-r … scape-maps).
Rather than keep coming back to the forum with endless questions on how to configure/understand the report outputs, I'm wondering if it may be better - for my needs - to set up my own outputs using Openlayers and Views. From other posts (e.g. http://forums.nbn.org.uk/viewtopic.php?id=6059) I can see that Indicia is using Openlayers in some kind of integrated way, but it is not listed in the modules. So the key question is: if I install the Openlayers module (and the GeoServer module if needed), is it going to mess up the functionality of the Indicia reports? Or is there a way to access these modules which are already installed as part of Indicia?
I hope someone can understand what I am asking.
