Install stable version from pypi

Install from pypi:

.. code-block:: shell

pip install django-loci

Install development version

First of all, install the dependencies of GeoDjango <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/contrib/gis/>_:

  • Geospatial libraries <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/contrib/gis/install/geolibs/>_
  • Spatial database <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/contrib/gis/install/spatialite/>, for development we use Spatialite, a spatial extension of sqlite <https://www.sqlite.org/index.html>

Install tarball:

.. code-block:: shell

pip install https://github.com/openwisp/django-loci/tarball/master

Alternatively you can install via pip using git:

.. code-block:: shell

pip install -e git+git://github.com/openwisp/django-loci#egg=django_loci

If you want to contribute, install your cloned fork:

.. code-block:: shell

    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "channels.layers.InMemoryChannelLayer",
    },
}

Now run migrations:

.. code-block:: shell

./manage.py migrate

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions when installing GeoDjango.

Unable to load the SpatiaLite library extension


If you get the following exception::

    django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Unable to load the SpatiaLite library extension

You need to specify the ``SPATIALITE_LIBRARY_PATH`` in your ``settings.py`` as explained
in the `django documentation regarding how to install and configure spatialte
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/contrib/gis/install/spatialite/>`_.

Issues with other geospatial libraries
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please refer to the `geodjango documentation on troubleshooting issues related to
geospatial libraries <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/contrib/gis/install/#library-environment-settings>`_.

Use to check if geocoding is working as expected or not.

Run this checks with::

    ./manage.py check --deploy --tag geocoding

Extending django-loci
---------------------

*django-loci* provides a set of models and admin classes which can be imported,
extended and reused by third party apps.

To extend *django-loci*, **you MUST NOT** add it to ``settings.INSTALLED_APPS``,
but you must create your own app (which goes into ``settings.INSTALLED_APPS``),
import the base classes of django-loci and add your customizations.

Extending models
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This example provides an example of how to extend the base models of
*django-loci* by adding a relation to another django model named `Organization`.

.. code-block:: python

    # models.py of your app
    from django.db import models
    from django_loci.base.models import (AbstractFloorPlan,
                                         AbstractLocation,
                                         AbstractObjectLocation)

    # the model ``organizations.Organization`` is omitted for brevity
    # if you are curious to see a real implementation, check out django-organizations


    class OrganizationMixin(models.Model):
        organization = models.ForeignKey('organizations.Organization')

        class Meta:
            abstract = True


    class Location(OrganizationMixin, AbstractLocation):
        class Meta(AbstractLocation.Meta):
            abstract = False

        def clean(self):
            # your own validation logic here...
            pass


    class FloorPlan(OrganizationMixin, AbstractFloorPlan):
        location = models.ForeignKey(Location)

        class Meta(AbstractFloorPlan.Meta):
            abstract = False

        def clean(self):
            # your own validation logic here...
            pass


    class ObjectLocation(OrganizationMixin, AbstractObjectLocation):
        location = models.ForeignKey(Location, models.PROTECT,
                                     blank=True, null=True)
        floorplan = models.ForeignKey(FloorPlan, models.PROTECT,
                                      blank=True, null=True)

        class Meta(AbstractObjectLocation.Meta):
            abstract = False

        def clean(self):
            # your own validation logic here...
            pass

Extending the admin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Following the previous `Organization` example, you can avoid duplicating the admin
code by importing the base admin classes and registering your models with them.

But first you have to change a few settings in your ``settings.py``, these are needed in
order to load the admin templates and static files of *django-loci* even if it's not
listed in ``settings.INSTALLED_APPS``.

Add ``django.forms`` to ``INSTALLED_APPS``, now it should look like the following:

.. code-block:: python

    INSTALLED_APPS = [
        # ...
        'django.contrib.gis',
        'django_loci',
        'django.contrib.admin',
        #      ↓
        'django.forms', # <-- add this
        #      ↑
        'leaflet',
        'channels'
        # ...
    ]

Now add ``EXTENDED_APPS`` after ``INSTALLED_APPS``:

.. code-block:: python

    INSTALLED_APPS = [
        # ...
    ]

    EXTENDED_APPS = ('django_loci',)

Add ``openwisp_utils.staticfiles.DependencyFinder`` to ``STATICFILES_FINDERS``:

.. code-block:: python

    STATICFILES_FINDERS = [
        'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
        'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
        'openwisp_utils.staticfiles.DependencyFinder',
    ]

Add ``openwisp_utils.loaders.DependencyLoader`` to ``TEMPLATES``:

.. code-block:: python

    TEMPLATES = [
        {
            'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
            'DIRS': [],
            'OPTIONS': {
                'loaders': [
                    'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
                    'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
                    # add the following line
                    'openwisp_utils.loaders.DependencyLoader'
                ],
                'context_processors': [
                    'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                    'django.template.context_processors.request',
                    'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                    'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                ],
            },
        }
    ]

Last step, add ``FORM_RENDERER``:

.. code-block:: python

    FORM_RENDERER = 'django.forms.renderers.TemplatesSetting'

Then you can go ahead and create your ``admin.py`` file following the example below:

.. code-block:: python

    # admin.py of your app
    from django.contrib import admin

    from django_loci.base.admin import (AbstractFloorPlanAdmin, AbstractFloorPlanForm,
                                        AbstractFloorPlanInline, AbstractLocationAdmin,
                                        AbstractLocationForm, AbstractObjectLocationForm,
                                        AbstractObjectLocationInline)
    from django_loci.models import FloorPlan, Location, ObjectLocation


    class FloorPlanForm(AbstractFloorPlanForm):
        class Meta(AbstractFloorPlanForm.Meta):
            model = FloorPlan


    class FloorPlanAdmin(AbstractFloorPlanAdmin):
        form = FloorPlanForm


    class LocationForm(AbstractLocationForm):
        class Meta(AbstractLocationForm.Meta):
            model = Location


    class FloorPlanInline(AbstractFloorPlanInline):
        form = FloorPlanForm
        model = FloorPlan


    class LocationAdmin(AbstractLocationAdmin):
        form = LocationForm
        inlines = [FloorPlanInline]


    class ObjectLocationForm(AbstractObjectLocationForm):
        class Meta(AbstractObjectLocationForm.Meta):
            model = ObjectLocation


    class ObjectLocationInline(AbstractObjectLocationInline):
        model = ObjectLocation
        form = ObjectLocationForm


    admin.site.register(FloorPlan, FloorPlanAdmin)
    admin.site.register(Location, LocationAdmin)

Extending channel consumers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Extend the channel consumer of django-loci in this way:

.. code-block:: python

    from django_loci.channels.base import BaseLocationBroadcast
    from ..models import Location  # your own location model


    class LocationBroadcast(BaseLocationBroadcast):
        model = Location

Extending AppConfig
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You may want to reuse the ``AppConfig`` class of *django-loci* too:

.. code-block:: python

    from django_loci.apps import LociConfig


    class MyConfig(LociConfig):
        name = 'myapp'
        verbose_name = _('My custom app')

        def __setmodels__(self):
            from .models import Location
            self.location_model = Location
