Management Commands for GeoNode

GeoNode comes with administrative commands to help with day to day tasks.

Below is the list of the ones that come from the GeoNode application, the full list can be obtained by doing:

geonode help

importlayers

Imports a file or folder with geospatial files to GeoNode.

It supports data in Shapefile and GeoTiff format. It also picks up the styles if a .sld file is present.

Usage:

geonode importlayers <data_dir>

Additional options:

--user=USER           Name of the user account which should own the imported
                       layers
--keywords=KEYWORDS   The default keywords for the imported layer(s). Will
                       be the same for all imported layers if multiple
                       imports are done in one command

updatelayers

Update the GeoNode application with data from GeoServer.

This is useful to add data in formats that are not supported in GeoNode by default, and for example to link it it to ArcSDE datastores. The updatelayers command provides several options that can be used to control how layer information is read from GeoServer and updated in GeoNode. Refer to ‘Additional Options’.

Usage:

geonode updatelayers

Additional options:

--ignore-errors       Do not stop if errors are encountered.

--skip-unadvertised   Skip processing any layers that are marked 'advertised=False' in GeoServer

--skip-geonode-registered   Just processing GeoServer layers still not registered in GeoNode.
                      Useful if you are importing layers through GeoServer and not through GeoNode
                      and you don't want to run updatelayers on every GeoServer layer but just on the new ones.

--remove-deleted      Remove layers from GeoNode that have been deleted (or marked unavailable) from GeoServer.
                       Note: this option can be combined with --workspace and --store to only check
                       for deleted layers in a particular workspace or store.
                       It can also be combined with --skip-unadvertised, in which case any layers marked
                       'advertised=False' will be removed from GeoNode
                       Also, --remove-deleted does not consider the --filter parameter in determining
                       GeoServer layers to be deleted.  When --filter is combined with --remove-deleted, the
                       filter will be applied to layers to update, but layers that do not match the filter will
                       not be marked for deletion from GeoNode.

-u
--user                 Name of the GeoNode user account that should own the imported layers.

-f
--filter               Only update layers from GeoServer that match the given filter prefix.

-s
--store                Only update layers for the given GeoServer store name.

-w
--workspace            Only update layers for the given GeoServer workspace name.

emit_notices

Sends email notices, for example after layers have been uploaded.

It should be configured as a cronjob, running for example every 5 minutes, otherwise the notices will be created (available in the system) but not sent. It requires the email gateway to be set correctly.

Usage:

geonode emit_notices

fixsitename

Uses SITENAME and SITEURL to set the values of the default site object.

This information is used in the page titles and when sending emails from GeoNode, for example, new registrations.

Usage:

geonode fixsitename
