Django application to store geolocalized places and organize them according to political hierarchy.
Note: this project doesn't require GeoDjango or Gis fields, you should save geographical data in your own model in order to perform gis queries.
Features:
- store your geographic data in a single model
- provide address and process it to automatically fill all geo informations
- using the provided form you can choose the place on the map
- and process automatically the location
This package looks stable but it needs more live testing. If you want to try it in your project, you can pip install it:
pip install django-political-map
or via git:
-
pip install git https://github.com/20tab/django-political-map.git
-
add
politicalplaces
in your INSTALLED_APPS -
set mandatory parameters in your settings file:
# BACKEND (googlemaps is the only available backend)
POLITICAL_MAP_BACKEND = 'googlemaps'
# MAP LANGUAGE (en is the only available language)
POLITICAL_MAP_LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en'
# GMAPS (gmaps key is mandatory)
GOOGLE_API_KEY = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
- run migrations to update your db python manage.py migrate
- manage static files using:
- django collectstatic or
- uwsgi static-map = /static/politicalplaces/=%(lib)/politicalplaces/static/politicalplaces
There is one only entry point to the app, that is the Placefield. This field is a Foreign Key to PoliticalPlace, so you should use it this way:
from django.db import models
from politicalplaces.fields import PlaceField
class MyLocation(models.Model):
place = PlaceField(
on_delete=models.SET_NULL,
null=True, blank=True)
PoliticalPlace and MapItem admin are available, but you should never add these objects directly.
from politicalplaces.models import PoliticalPlace
from .models import MyLocation
loc = MyLocation()
loc.name = "Test Location"
place = PoliticalPlace.get_or_create_from_address(
address='via Luigi Gastinelli, Rome')
loc.place = place
loc.save()

Django Political Map has full support for admin change_form with single PlaceField, multiple PlaceField on the same model and inline models with PlaceField.
The default widget will work on your custom frontend too (just remember to use {{forms.media}} in your template).
The library also supports django inline formsets via the formset:added
event if using django.jQuery
("admin/js/vendor/jquery/jquery.js", "admin/js/jquery.init.js"),
otherwise you can attach to your custom event the
politicalplaces.addNewWidget(widgetDOMElement, formsetName)
handler.
Example:
document.querySelector('button.add-form').addEventListener('click', function() {
var formsetName = 'the_name_of_the_formset';
var widgetDOMElement = document.querySelector('.widget');
politicalplaces.addNewWidget(widgetDOMElement, formsetName);
});
Using googlemaps as backend, remember there's a quota limit as described here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/usage
