[GeoNode-users] creating a layer from another django app

[Gavin Reich]

Hi all,

We're trying to create a layer from within another project.  I was wondering what the best way to do this might be without using importlayers from the cmd line? I just need to take a zipped up shapefile and create a layer from that. I've been trying to use file_upload() from geonode.layers.utils to upload & create the layer but am running into the problem below. All the correct settings are being picked up when I look at django.conf.settings.OGC_SERVER and geonode.geoserver.helpers.ogc_server_settings. (the zip uploads fine into our geonode manually and if I use importlayers).

Am I going about this the wrong way?

Thanks
Gavin
