Changelog for version: 3.3

Release date: 07 October 2021

 

Changelog for G3W-SUITE 3.3

G3W-SUITE 3.3 offers an extensive list of new and improved features – the most important shown here.

In particular, the new release implements:

      • ability to define single editing powers (create, modify, delete) on individual layers for each user
      • QGIS expression management at the level of online editing, for the automated calculation of the values to be associated with the individual fields
      • Oracle Spatial editing support
      • new constraints, based on users, on layer and attribute tables visibility
      • further integration of the QGIS API

 

To date, the modules/functions are managed through the API are:

      • project import
      • editing
      • OWS server (WMS, WFS and WCS)
      • searches (optional, standard through WMS service)
      • altas print layout
      • editing and visualization constraints
      • vector layer API (table view)

We hope you enjoy this great work!

Happy mapping!

Sponsor and funder

G3W-SUITE is an open source project and if you are able to, consider supporting our work through donations or contributions to the code documentation, web site and so on. Among the main funder of this version we remember:

General

Feature: Layer order

Setting inherited from the QGIS project

The definition on the QGIS project of the order of the layers in the map, independent of the order of the layers in the TOC, is now managed.

Feature: 1:N relation based on multi fields

Setting inherited from the QGIS project

The ability to create relations based on more than one field is now managed but limited to the data consultation aspects (no searches and no editing)

Filters and constraints

Feature: Hide layers by user single/group

It is possible to hide specific layers from the TOC based on specific users or groups of users

Feature: All filters extended to the anonymous user

It is possible to base the various filters also on the anonymous user (public maps):

    • hide layer
    • geo-constraints (visualization and editing)
    • alphanumeric constraints based on SLQ and QGIS expressions (visualization and editing)

Feature: Filters on empity layers

It is possible to hide, automatically, layers from the TOC when they have no records.

Useful when using filters on layers or geographic views.

Feature: Hide attributes table

Now you can hide attributes table for specific layers.

Search tool

Feature: Search on 1:N relation data

It is now possible to carry out a search based on a related table 1:N (child) and obtain the associated parent geometries as a result.

It works only on 1:N relation based on one field

Feature: Multi-layer searches

It is possible to create searches based on multiple layers with homologous fields.

The results will be differentiated according to the corresponding layer.

Especially useful in the case of multigeometric layers.

Data providers

Feature: More data type support

Reading/editing support on Oracle Spatial DB is extended

 

Cartographic Client

Feature: QGIS themes management

Setting inherited from the QGIS project

Through a drop-down menu it is possible to view the different combinations of layers (switched on and off) based on themes defined in the QGIS project.

Feature: Add layer tool implementation

The Add layer tool now support:

    • GML
    • GeoJson
    • KML
    • GPX
    • SHP
    • CSV (with X/Y coordinates)

It is also possible to define a field in the imported file to be used for labels,

Feature: Add GeoTIFF export tool

The tools permits to export canvas area as GeoTIFF.

Feature: Legend position

An option, at the publication level of the QGIS project, allows to set legend rendering position:

    • TAB (default value, legend is rendered into a separate tab)
    • TOC (legend is rendered inside layers toc)

Feature: Manually defining the content of a search results

Following a query (single, by bbox or by polygon) or a search, it is possible to manually add/remove feaures from the list of results.

This allows you to define more precisely the list of contents to be exported in various formats or to be used as a basis for filters on tables and charts.

Feature: Additional download information

It is now possible to associate (at the download level) the information related to the search polygon to the geometries resulting from a QueryByPoligon

Feature: Creation of links for direct zoom to individual features

After querying a layer it is possible to copy, for each resulting features, a link dedicated to the direct zoom to the object.

 

Editing

Feature: Differentiation of user-based editing powers

Ability to define editing powers on individual layers for each user (single / group):

    • create
    • modify geometry
    • modify attribute
    • delete

Feature: QGIS expressions management

Setting inherited from the QGIS project

Now the editing form manage the QGIS expressions used as default values for individual fields in the QGIS project.

Very useful in all cases where we want the values of a field to be calculated automatically through the potential of QGIS expressions.

Minor improvements

Feature: More language support

Map client and administration panel are available in additional languages:

    • French

Feature: Search system for project and cartographic groups

In the administration session, a search tool will allow you to find projects and cartographic groups without having to manually consult all the contents.
