<div>Hi Simone,<br>
thanks for the answer but... of course we still have a project and
our app is inside that project, but we have geonode 2.4 and
local_settings file is only in etc/geonode not in the project dir.
So what can we do?<br>
And yes, geonode_data (AKA datastore) have postgis, but django
ourserver/admin uses tables in geonode/public not in
geonode_data/public, so if there are no contraindications to
install postgis extension on geonode we could do it, but we wanna
be sure of this.<br>
Thanks!<br>
:-)<br>

<div>I strongly suggest you to use the geonode_project to
customize geonode and add your apps, see <a href="https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode-project/tree/2.4" target="_blank">https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode-project/tree/2.4</a>.</div>

</div>
<div>For your questions:</div>
<div>- here a guide on how to use multiple database on django <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/db/multi-db/" target="_blank">https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/db/multi-db/</a></div>
<div>- the geonode database already have postgis installed, if
you installed geonode via apt-get you will get two databases,
one is called geonode and the other geonode-data and this one
has postgis installed. In any case you can always install
postgis with $ psql -d yourdb -c "CREATE EXTENSION POSTGIS;"</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Hope this helps</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hi all,<br>
we have a DB and a postgresql schema (call it ourSchema)
with some layers and some tables and we want to edit the
tables using Django Admin facilities (with
server_ipaddress/admin). We wrote in local_settings in
/etc/geonode the connection strings for this DB (ex:
ourDB, in the same server with geonode) but after some
tests we understood that: <br>
<br>
-- creating a new app (with python manage.py startapp
...), a models.py with our tables and using python
manage.py syncdb --database=ourDB,<br>
Geonode re-create all django tables + our tables in the <u>public</u>
schema of ourDB ('cause there's no info in local_settings
about what schema is connected ourDB);<br>
-- but these new tables in ourDB/public are not seen by
server_ipaddress/admin, but they are seen only if we
create them in the schema geonode(=default)/public;<br>
-- so we thought we could put ourSchema inside geonodeDB
or all its tables/layers in the geonode/public schema
(even if we don't like this solution too much...), but
ourSchema contains layers and geonodeDB has no postgis
extensions so we couldn't.<br>
<br>
At the end, some desperate questions:<br>
-- is it possible to connect django server_ipaddress/admin
to tables in a different DB (putting some connection
string in the app directly, for example);<br>
-- is it possible to install postgis extension on
geonodeDB? <br>
<br>
