[GeoNode-users] How to use QGIS as backbone server

Tue May 23 00:23:13 PDT 2017

Hi Rizky,

you can take more confidence here [1] as the contrib concept is derived from Django itself. So basically releasing QGIS backend as an optional django/geonode package doesn’t mean you cannot modify the base code wherever is needed.
Usually the binding with the main project is through the settings [2] so for example if you want to pass a tuple with the supported file types from the QGIS then you can put that configuration in its own settings having it loaded at the time QGIS contrib app will be enable. As an example how to achieve that you can have a look at this contrib app [3].

Hope this helps

Francesco
