Digitizepoints v.0.2
Author: Niccolo Rigacci <niccolo@rigacci.org>

This is a plugin for p.mapper [http://www.pmapper.net/].
It allows to digitize points directly into a PostgreSQL/PostGIS
table. A popup window allow to insert/update metadata information
for the point. Tested with p.mapper version 4.0-beta2.

The plugin requires the PHP Pear DB module, provided by the
php-db Debian package.

Main features:

  * Insert new points and update existing ones into a
    PostgreSQL/PostGIS table.
  * Allow for different map and layer projections.
  * Pick existing points for editing, with configurable
    tolerance.
  * Automatic web form upon table structure, allow for
    hiding of unwanted fields.
  * Easy itegration into the toolbar.

To use the plugin you have to:

* Unpack the plugin files into a p.mapper plugins/digitizepoints/
  directory.

* Add a layer of type POINT and CONNECTIONTYPE postgis to the
  mapfile. This is really needed only if you want to see the
  inserted points into the map.

* Enable the plugin by adding a line in config/config_default.xml
  file, into the <pmapper> tag:
  <plugins>digitizepoints</plugins>

* To add the toolbar button: edit config/default/js_config.php,
  add a button element into PM.buttonsDefault definition:
  {tool:'digitizepoints', name:'Digitize Points'},

* Copy the button image "digitizepoints_off.gif" into
  images/buttons/<theme>/

* Edit the plugin file include_conf.php and set database connection
  details, table info, etc.


==== Pop-up configuration ====

You can customize the behaviour of the pop-up by assigning values
to the following tags into config/config_XXX.xml, under <pmapper>,
<ini>, <pluginsConfig> section:

    <digitizepoints>
        <dlgOptions>
            <!-- Pop-up window width. -->
            <width>640</width>              <!-- Pop-up window width. -->
            <height>480</height>            <!-- Pop-up window height.  -->
            <left>100</left>                <!-- Left position of pop-up.  -->
            <top>50</top>                   <!-- Top position of pop-up.  -->
            <decimals>5</decimals>          <!-- How may decimals to keep in coordinates.  -->
            <dlgTimeout>2000</dlgTimeout>   <!-- Timeout in ms for pop-up disappear. -->
        </dlgOptions>
    </digitizepoints>

Otherwise you can set the values into config/XXX/js_config.php:

  PM.Plugin.Digitizepoints.dlgOptions.width = 640;
  PM.Plugin.Digitizepoints.dlgOptions.height = 480;
  PM.Plugin.Digitizepoints.dlgOptions.left = 100;
  PM.Plugin.Digitizepoints.dlgOptions.top = 50;
  PM.Plugin.Digitizepoints.decimals = 5;
  PM.Plugin.Digitizepoints.dlgTimeout = 2000;


==== Internationalization ====

You can translate strings that appear in PHP code, look for strings
enclosed into the _p() function.

Create or edit the file incphp/locale/language_XX.php and add
your translations there.
