[GeoNode-devel] set default layer category

[Toni Schönbuchner]

Hi Oliver,

I do not know of a settings variable to do so. Most likely It's needed to add this functionality
yourself. GeoNode project allows you to easily override some view. Hence you could try
to extend the layer_upload method 

https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/blob/master/geonode/layers/views.py#L208 <https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/blob/master/geonode/layers/views.py#L208>

and before saving set some category. Untested code just to show you what I mean:

	from geonode.base.models import TopicCategory
        topics = TopicCategory.objects.all()
	layer_cat = topics.get(identifier='social')
	layer.category = layer_cat
	layer.save()


Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Toni
