Settings¶

Here’s a list of settings available in GeoNode and their default values. This includes settings for some external applications that GeoNode depends on.

Documents settings¶

Here’s a list of settings available for the Documents app in GeoNode.

ALLOWED_DOCUMENT_TYPES¶

Default: ['doc', 'docx', 'xls', 'xlsx', 'pdf', 'zip', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'tif', 'tiff', 'png', 'gif', 'txt']

A list of acceptable file extensions that can be uploaded to the Documents app.

MAX_DOCUMENT_SIZE¶

Default: 2

Metadata settings¶

CATALOGUE¶

A dict with the following keys:

ENGINE: The CSW backend (default is geonode.catalogue.backends.pycsw_local)
URL: The FULLY QUALIFIED base url to the CSW instance for this GeoNode
USERNAME: login credentials (if required)
PASSWORD: login credentials (if required)

pycsw is the default CSW enabled in GeoNode. pycsw configuration directives are managed in the PYCSW entry.

PYCSW¶

A dict with pycsw’s configuration. Of note are the sections metadata:main to set CSW server metadata and metadata:inspire to set INSPIRE options. Setting metadata:inspire['enabled'] to true will enable INSPIRE support. See http://pycsw.org/docs/configuration.html for full pycsw configuration details.

DEFAULT_TOPICCATEGORY¶

Default: 'location'

The identifier of the default topic category to use when uploading new layers. The value specified for this setting must be present in the TopicCategory table or GeoNode will return a TopicCategory.DoesNotExist exception.

MODIFY_TOPICCATEGORY¶

Default: False

Metadata Topic Categories list should not be modified, as it is strictly defined by ISO (See: http://www.isotc211.org/2005/resources/Codelist/gmxCodelists.xml and check the <CodeListDictionary gml:id=”MD_MD_TopicCategoryCode”> element).

Some customisation it is still possible changing the is_choice and the GeoNode description fields.

In case it is absolutely necessary to add/delete/update categories, it is possible to set the MODIFY_TOPICCATEGORY setting to True.

Maps settings¶

DEFAULT_MAP_BASE_LAYER¶

The name of the background layer to include in newly created maps.

DEFAULT_MAP_CENTER¶

Default: (0, 0)

A 2-tuple with the latitude/longitude coordinates of the center-point to use in newly created maps.

DEFAULT_MAP_ZOOM¶

Default: 0

The zoom-level to use in newly created maps. This works like the OpenLayers zoom level setting; 0 is at the world extent and each additional level cuts the viewport in half in each direction.

MAP_BASELAYERS¶

Default:

MAP_BASELAYERS = [{
"source": {
    "ptype": "gxp_wmscsource",
    "url": OGC_SERVER['default']['PUBLIC_LOCATION'] + "wms",

    "type":"OpenLayers.Layer.WMS",
    "group":"background",
    "visibility": False,
    "fixed": True,
    "args":[
      "bluemarble",

        "format":"image/png",
        "tiled": True,
        "tilesOrigin": [-20037508.34, -20037508.34]

}]

A list of dictionaries that specify the default map layers.

LAYER_PREVIEW_LIBRARY¶

Default: "leaflet"

The library to use for display preview images of layers. The library choices are:

"leaflet"
"geoext"

OGC_SERVER¶

Default: {} (Empty dictionary)

A dictionary of OGC servers and and their options. The main server should be listed in the ‘default’ key. If there is no ‘default’ key or if the OGC_SERVER setting does not exist Geonode will raise an Improperly Configured exception. Below is an example of the OGC_SERVER setting:

OGC_SERVER = {
  'default' : {
      'LOCATION' : 'http://localhost:8080/geoserver/',
      'USER' : 'admin',
      'PASSWORD' : 'geoserver',
  }
}

BACKEND¶

Default: "geonode.geoserver"

The OGC server backend to use. The backend choices are:

'geonode.geoserver'

BACKEND_WRITE_ENABLED¶

Default: True

Specifies whether the OGC server can be written to. If False, actions that modify data on the OGC server will not execute.

DATASTORE¶

Default: '' (Empty string)

An optional string that represents the name of a vector datastore that Geonode uploads are imported into. In order to support vector datastore imports there also needs to be an entry for the datastore in the DATABASES dictionary with the same name. Example:

OGC_SERVER = {
  'default' : {
     'LOCATION' : 'http://localhost:8080/geoserver/',
     'USER' : 'admin',
     'PASSWORD' : 'geoserver',
     'DATASTORE': 'geonode_imports'
  }
}

DATABASES = {
 'default': {
     'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
     'NAME': 'development.db',
 },
 'geonode_imports' : {
     'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis',
     'NAME': 'geonode_imports',
     'USER' : 'geonode_user',
     'PASSWORD' : 'a_password',
     'HOST' : 'localhost',
     'PORT' : '5432',
  }
 }

GEOGIT_ENABLED¶

Default: False

A boolean that represents whether the OGC server supports GeoGit datastores.

GEONODE_SECURITY_ENABLED¶

Default: True

A boolean that represents whether Geonode’s security application is enabled.

LOCATION¶

Default: "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/"

A base URL from which GeoNode can construct OGC service URLs. If using Geoserver you can determine this by visiting the GeoServer administration home page without the /web/ at the end. For example, if your GeoServer administration app is at http://example.com/geoserver/web/, your server’s location is http://example.com/geoserver.

MAPFISH_PRINT_ENABLED¶

Default: True

A boolean that represents whether the Mapfish printing extension is enabled on the server.

PASSWORD¶

Default: 'geoserver'

The administrative password for the OGC server as a string.

PRINT_NG_ENABLED¶

Default: True

A boolean that represents whether printing of maps and layers is enabled.

PUBLIC_LOCATION¶

Default: "http://localhost:8080/geoserver/"

The URL used to in most public requests from Geonode. This settings allows a user to write to one OGC server (the LOCATION setting) and read from a seperate server or the PUBLIC_LOCATION.

USER¶

Default: 'admin'

The administrative username for the OGC server as a string.

WMST_ENABLED¶

Default: False

Not implemented.

WPS_ENABLED¶

Default: False

Not implemented.

TIMEOUT¶

Default: 10

The maximum time, in seconds, to wait for the server to respond.

SITEURL¶

Default: 'http://localhost:8000/'

A base URL for use in creating absolute links to Django views and generating links in metadata.

Proxy settings¶

PROXY_ALLOWED_HOSTS¶

Default: () (Empty tuple)

A tuple of strings representing the host/domain names that GeoNode can proxy requests to. This is a security measure to prevent an attacker from using the GeoNode proxy to render malicious code or access internal sites.

Values in this tuple can be fully qualified names (e.g. ‘www.geonode.org’), in which case they will be matched against the request’s Host header exactly (case-insensitive, not including port). A value beginning with a period can be used as a subdomain wildcard: .geonode.org will match geonode.org, www.geonode.org, and any other subdomain of geonode.org. A value of ‘*’ will match anything and is not recommended for production deployments.

PROXY_URL¶

Default /proxy/?url=

The url to a proxy that will be used when making client-side requests in GeoNode. By default, the internal GeoNode proxy is used but administrators may favor using their own, less restrictive proxies.

Search settings¶

DEFAULT_SEARCH_SIZE¶

Default: 10

An integer that specifies the default search size when using geonode.search for querying data.

Security settings¶

AUTH_EXEMPT_URLS¶

Default: () (Empty tuple)

A tuple of url patterns that the user can visit without being authenticated. This setting has no effect if LOCKDOWN_GEONODE is not True. For example, AUTH_EXEMPT_URLS = ('/maps',) will allow unauthenticated users to browse maps.

LOCKDOWN_GEONODE¶

Default: False

By default, the GeoNode application allows visitors to view most pages without being authenticated. If this is set to True users must be authenticated before accessing URL routes not included in AUTH_EXEMPT_URLS.

Upload settings¶

GEOGIT_DATASTORE_NAME¶

Default: None

A string with the default GeoGit datastore name. This value is only used if no GeoGit datastore name is provided when data is uploaded but it must be populated if your deployment supports GeoGit.

UPLOADER¶

Default:

{
    'BACKEND' : 'geonode.rest',
    'OPTIONS' : {
        'TIME_ENABLED': False,
        'GEOGIT_ENABLED': False,
    }
}

A dictionary of Uploader settings and and their values.

BACKEND¶

Default: 'geonode.rest'

The uploader backend to use. The backend choices are:

'geonode.importer'
'geonode.rest'

The importer backend requires the Geoserver importer extension to be enabled and is required for uploading data into GeoGit datastores.

OPTIONS¶

Default:

'OPTIONS' : {
    'TIME_ENABLED': False,
    'GEOGIT_ENABLED': False,
}

TIME_ENABED¶

Default: False

A boolean that specifies whether the upload should allow the user to enable time support when uploading data.

GEOGIT_ENABED¶

Default: False

A boolean that specifies whether the uploader should allow the user to upload data into a GeoGit datastore.

User Account settings¶
