Django Map Widgets

Configurable, pluggable and more user friendly map widgets for Django PostGIS fields.

• Project Home Page: https://github.com/erdem/django-map-widgets/

Achievements

The aim of the Django map widgets is to make all Geo Django widgets more user friendly and configurable. Map widgets are currently supporting only Google Map services, but we are planning to add other major map services.

Installation

pip install django-map-widgets

Add ‘map_widgets’ to your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [
     ...
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',

    'mapwidgets',
]

Collects the static files into STATIC_ROOT.

python manage.py collectstatic

Django Admin

from django.contrib.gis.db import models
from mapwidgets.widgets import GooglePointFieldWidget


class CityAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    formfield_overrides = {
        models.PointField: {"widget": GooglePointFieldWidget}
    }

Django Forms

from mapwidgets.widgets import GooglePointFieldWidget, GoogleStaticOverlayMapWidget


class CityForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model = City
        fields = ("coordinates", "city_hall")
        widgets = {
            'coordinates': GooglePointFieldWidget,
            'city_hall': GoogleStaticOverlayMapWidget,
        }

...and your template should look something like this

<form method="POST" action="">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{form.media}}
    {{form.as_p}}
</form>

Requirements

Django Map Widgets needs Jquery dependency to work in your regular views. In Django Admin case, you don't need to provide the jQuery. Just add map widgets to your django admin forms.
