Re: [Qgis-user] "Official" QGIS Web Client?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Chris, 

QWC2 has login and authentication (since fairly recently) - it was
required for hiding away topics and layers and for enabling digitizing.
As far as I know it needs a serverside component for that. Probably
documentation did not keep up yet, about this new feature. You can ask
the Sourcepole folks about it - either Pirmin Kalberer or Sandro Mani. 

As far as I know, many customers also have quite diverse and ideas what
services they want to authenticate against (LDAP, Microsoft AD, Google,
OpenID, plain password, etc.). So probably such an authentication module
on the server needs to support different authentication
providers/plugins. But I am sure that the above people can inform you
what they support. 

Greetings and good luck for chosing the "best" web client that suits
your needs ;-)

Re: [Qgis-user] "Official" QGIS Web Client?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

I agree with all of you - there are plenty of web clients out there that 
can collaborate well with QGIS server.


God knows why every small company is starting its "own" web client and 
doesn't collaborate with the already existing ones ... maybe it is 
because they are not so familiar with the frameworks used by the other 
web clients (or don't like the choice of frameworks). Maybe it is also, 
because it is relatively "easy" to create something from scratch with 
the tools one is already familiar with - but at the long run - I think 
it is a not so wise strategy that there are so many web clients out 
there. It is a fragmentation of resources. One can create something fast 
that covers 80% of requirements, but the remaining 20% are often the 
hardest. I am personally disappointed about this fragmentation - and 
ithis fragmentation does not help the user. It helps our commercial 
competitors.


For a web client to be "official" - in my opinion - it should be under 
the QGIS.ORG github repo. So far, only "QWC2" is under the official 
QGIS.ORG repo. QWC1 was also - it was the very first web client that 
existed for QGIS server - but it is now deprecated. This does not make 
it any better, but maybe more "official", as it is under the control of 
QGIS.ORG and not by a single company. In the case of QWC2, while 
Sourcepole is currently the main contributor, there are already many 
other contributors who collaborate. And who knows - in the future it 
might be a different company that contributes more.


But it is important to show the different options that are available and 
then the user who wants to find a web client, can choose by himself.


Just my two cents,

Andreas

I do not think any of the web project qualifies for being "the official"
QGIS project. All are will integraated with QGIS projects for styling etc.
Just choose what fits best your needs.
I'd like to see more joint efforts, but given the variety of web
libraries this seems unfeasible at least in the short term.
All the best.

Re: [Qgis-user] "Official" QGIS Web Client?

[Christopher Gray]

After reading the explanations here, I found some more details about QWC2
in a Google Doc here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QHF7c3Z1yv-Y86fiAAb2I02fP6BysQXO5nd4y-qaR8A/edit

It says "The code should be part of the main QGIS github project page at
https://github.com/qgis/ - the group active around QWC II decides who will
get commit rights to this repository", which suggests if any version were
to be official, it would be QWC2. Further, the document explains the desire
to have clear integration between QGIS projects and the QWC2 interface.

Assuming this is the case, I would suggest a change to the website that
references QWC2 and perhaps briefly explains the difference between the
"Components" and "demo".

If QWC2 is not so closely tied to QGIS, it could be very useful to briefly
list options like QWC2, EQWC, Lizmap, GeoServer, GISQuick, etc. It seems
hard to grasp and navigate all of the options up front... and it is not
necessarily a GIS learning curve so much as a work-flow and program setup
learning curve.


Thank you, Chris

Andreas,

Thank you for the description, I have taken some more time to look into
both QWC2 and Lizmap. QWC2 seems very nice [although I would like if the
menu remained showing on the larger screens.] I have a tendency to want to
use QWC2 since it is intended to integrate with QGIS projects and appears
to be in development alongside QGIS, but Lizmap is very nice as well.

Do you happen to know if QWC2 has any authentication features yet?

Re: [Qgis-user] "Official" QGIS Web Client?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Chris, 

>From these three clients you mention, I would currently only consider
QWC2. It is now in a good state and deployed in several provinces and
cities as production version. Already now, QWC2 has exceeded the
functionality of QWC1 and it is based on modern, up-to-date libraries
and responsive. Also, QWC2 is actively in development. 

The demo application is not because QWC2 is not in production state, but
it should help you to get a start project. 

QWC1, and I assume EQWC is based on old versions of OpenLayers and not
fully responsive. 

As Paolo mentioned, there is also Lizmap. 

In your case, I would evaluate QWC2 and Lizmap. 

Greetings, 

Andreas

Re: [Qgis-user] "Official" QGIS Web Client?

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi Chris,

there are also other clients (e.g. LizMap). I don't think anyone
qualifies as "official", every one has its merits and limitations. I
agree that this should be better explained. Your suggestions welcome.

All the best.

[Qgis-user] "Official" QGIS Web Client?

[Christopher Gray]

I've found 3 QGIS related web clients:

QGIS Web Client (QWC1)
QGIS Web Client 2 (QWC2)
Enhanced QGIS Web Client (EQWC)

The QGIS website still references QWC1, while the QWC1 page says it is no
longer maintained and suggests QWC2. The QWC2 page lists itself as a "demo
application" which seems to suggest it is in-progress, but perhaps I am
misinterpreting this. The EQWC page looks like a functioning option but
suggests it is based on QWC1 which I understand was considered outdated...

EQWC seems to perform nicely (based on their demo maps), and has user and
guest authentication which seems very important for map access.

Anyhow, which of these is considered the current "QGIS Web Client" / most
appropriate to use at this time?

[In my specific situation, this will be my first web-client setup. I'm
preparing to setup a publicly available map for my town and a private map
for my family farm in the town (That will require authentication to
access).]

Thank you, Chris
