Practices Mapbender training

Exercise 1: Mapbender installation

Install Apache WebServer, PHP, MySQL or PostgreSQL and Mapbender
Add a new File phpinfo.php to test the informations from your php-installation

Create a PostgreSQL/MySQL database named mapbender. Follow the instructions of Installation_en or /mapbender/Install.txt

more information: http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/Installation_en)

Create a virtual directory for your mapbender Installation_en#Apache_virtual_directory
Copy mapbender/conf/mapbender.conf-dist and change the name into mapbender.conf. Customize the configuration file mapbender/conf/mapbender.conf
Check your configuration: http://localhost/tools/mapbender_setup.php
Start Mapbender and login as User: root with password root.

Exercise 2: Load a WMS

Load a WMS via the getCapabilities-Request

http://wms1.ccgis.de/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/data/umn/germany/germany.map&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1

http://www.geoserver.nrw.de/gbdaten.html

Have a look at the getCapabilities-XML and analyze the structure.
Update your WMS.
Delete the WMS.

(more infos: http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/WMS_Verwaltung )

Exercise 3: GUI

Create a new GUI. Load several WMS in this GUI (see admin2_de Link WMS into GUI).
Configure the WMS. Disable some layers.
Change the order of the layers.
Change the logical-zoom from the layer.
Change the EPSG-code, info format and the exceptions format of the WMS.
Display the informations of the WMS with the Metadata-button. Have a look at the getMap-Request

(more infos: http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/Interface_Management)

Exercise 4: User Administration

Create a new user. Fill out the form for the new user.
Login four times with the new user name and a wrong password. What happens?
The owner of the user can set the login-count back to 0 (admin2_en - Create and edit user).
Go to the table mb_user with phpPgAdmin and have a look at the Mapbender tables.

http://localhost/phppgadmin/index.php (user:postgres password: postgres)

Set MAXLOGIN to 10 in the mapbender.conf-file.

Exercise 5: GUI - adjustments

(more informations http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/Interface_Management)

Create new GUI. Edit GUI Elements.
Change the Backgroundcolor
Allocate the overview to another WMS.
Change Copyright (see element_vars)
Insert a Logo.
Delete needless Buttons.
Change the Button Collection and Folder-Style (see mapbender/http/img/)
Display the Legend only with WMS-Titles.
Have a look at the element_vars of the Legend and read the Description at Mapbender-Wiki.

Arrange Elements

use the Button arrange to position your elements easily
- move mapframe1
- move the whole buttons in one step
- save your new GUI design

Export your GUI.

Read the SQL-statement.
Change the name of the GUI within the SQL-statement and load it into the database.
Assign the new GUI to your user with owner rights.(gui_mb_user entry at database)

Exercise 6: Create a tab-structure with element "tabs"

Create new GUI with element tabs and include the geodataexplorer (treeGDE), legend and print.
These elements need the following setting-parameters:
- styles: visibility: hidden
- width: 1 / height: 1 / top: 1 / left 1

more Info: http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/Tabs_vertical

Exercise 7: WMS as background map

Create a new GUI with a background-map. Use the element setBackground (from the GUI "gui") for this purpose.
Read the functionality of this element in the Mapbender-Wiki (Search for the keyword setBackground)

Exercise 8: Including and Configuration of the directory tree (treeConfGDE)

Create a new GUI with an own configured directory tree.
Configure the directory tree by using the TreeGDE setup in admin2_en. The element is named treeconfGDE.

(more Information in the Wiki: ConfTreeGde and http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/Interface_Management)

Exercise 9: Link Mapbender to a customized architecture

Open a Mapbender GUI with a link

Create a guest user and assign a GUI to this user. Login as guest user.
Create a new group and integrate the user in this group. Assign the GUI gui1 to this group.
Create a link which opens your GUI with the bounding box of Vienna (see WIKI keyword setBBOX).
Have a look at the Mapbender Gallery (http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/Mapbender_Gallery)

Exercise 10: PDF - Print

Customize the pdf-print. Create a printout with overview, scalebar and northarrow.
Customize the layout of the map.
Adjust the print: open the PDF via a link.
Log the print jobs in the Mapbender database.
Arrange high quality printing for the WMS.

(more Information: http://www.mapbender.org/index.php/Print )

Exercise 11: Configuration and Integration of a WFS

Look at the WFS-search in your GUI gui. (see WIKI WFS configuration)
Load a WFS with the link LOAD WFS in the gui admin1.
Configure the WFS-Search with the link WFS CONF (admin1).

Orientate your setting by the existing WFS Mapbender User settings in the GUI gui (WFS CONF -> edit -> Mapbender User). Mapbender User is integrated into the GUI gui as a WFS-Search.

Display the results of the search alternately in black/gray with firstname, name and city.
