Import data

Import paths

Danger

With dynamic segmentation, importing paths is very risky if paths are already present in the same area in Geotrek, it is only safe for an area where no path is already created.

Indeed, if you import paths where there are existing paths, treks, POIs or trails linked topology might be impacted.

Before import paths layer, it is important to prepare them. Paths must be:

  • valid geometry

  • simple geometry (no intersection)

  • all intersections must cut the paths

  • not double or covering others

We use QGis to clean a path layer, with plugin Grass. Here are the operations:

  • check the SRID (must be the same as in Geotrek)

  • vectors → geometric tools → “collect geometries”

  • vectors → geometric tools → “group”

  • clean geometries
    • search “v_clean” in “Processing toolbox”

    • select following options in cleaning tool: break, snap, duplicate (ou rmdup), rmline, rmdangle, chdangle, bpol, prune

    • in threshold enter 2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2 (2 meters for each option)

  • delete duplicate geometries
    • search “duplicate” in “Processing toolbox”

  • regroup lines
    • search “v.build.polyline” in “Processing toolbox”)

    • select “first” in “Category number mode”

There are two ways to import path : importing your shapefile with command line, or via QGis following this blog post.

To import a shapefile containing your paths, use the command loadpaths:

sudo geotrek loadpaths {Troncons.shp} \
    --srid=2154 --comments-attribute IT_VTT IT_EQ IT_PEDEST \
    --encoding latin9 -i

Import data from touristic data systems (SIT)

Configure APIDAE (ex-SITRA) import

To import touristic content from APIDAE (ex-SITRA), edit /opt/geotrek-admin/var/conf/parsers.py file with the following content:

from geotrek.tourism.parsers import TouristicContentApidaeParser

class HebergementParser(TouristicContentApidaeParser):
    label = "Hébergements"
    api_key = 'xxxxxxxx'
    project_id = 9999
    selection_id = 99999
    category = "Hébergement"
    type1 = ["Camping"]
    type2 = ["3 étoiles", "Tourisme et Handicap"]  # just remove this line if no type2

Then set up appropriate values:

  • label at your convenience,

  • api_key, project_id and selection_id according to your APIDAE (ex-SITRA) configuration

  • category, type1 and type2 (optional) to select in which Geotrek category/type imported objects should go

  • You can add delete = True in your class if you want to delete objects in Geotrek databases that has been deleted in your Apidae selection. It will only delete objects that match with your class settings (category, types, portal, provider…)

  • You can also use the class HebergementParser if you only import accomodations

  • See https://github.com/GeotrekCE/Geotrek-admin/blob/master/geotrek/tourism/parsers.py for details about Parsers

You can duplicate the class. Each class must have a different name. Don’t forget the u character before strings if they contain non-ascii characters.

To apply changes, you may have to run sudo service geotrek restart.

Import Treks from APIDAE

A parser implementation is available to import Treks from APIDAE. Use it by defining a subclass of `geotrek.trekking.parsers.ApidaeTrekParser in your var/conf/parsers.py configuration file as shown above.

You’ll have to configure how to access your APIDAE data: api_key, project_id and selection_id (those are setting attributes from the APIDAE base parser).

The practices_mapped_with_activities_ids and practices_mapped_with_default_activities_ids attributes define default mapping with the trekking module data fixture. You may override this to match your own types of Trek Practice.

Import from LEI

To import touristic content or touristic event from LEI , create (or update) /opt/geotrek-admin/var/conf/parsers.py file with the following content:

from geotrek.tourism.parsers import LEITouristicContentParser, LEITouristicEventParser

class XXXLEIContentParser(LEITouristicContentParser):
    label = "LEI TouristicContent"
    url = "https://url.asp"

class XXXLEIEventParser(LEITouristicEventParser):
    label = "LEI TouristicEvent"
    url = "https://url.asp"

Configure Marque Esprit Parc import

To import touristic content from Esprit Parc national database, create (or update) /opt/geotrek-admin/var/conf/parsers.py file with the following content:

from geotrek.tourism.parsers import EspritParcParser

class XXXEspritParcParser(EspritParcParser):
    label = "Marque Esprit Parc"
    url = "https://gestion.espritparcnational.com/ws/?f=getProduitsSelonParc&codeParc=XXX"

Then set up appropriate values:

  • XXX by unique national park code (ex: PNE)

You can duplicate the class. Each class must have a different name. Don’t forget the u character before strings if they contain non-ascii characters.

In this case categories and types in Geotrek database have to be the same as in Esprit parc database. Otherwise missing categories and types will be created in Geotrek database.

Imported contents will be automatically published and approved.

If you use an url that filters a unique category, you can change its name. Example to get only Honey products and set the Geotrek category and type in which import them:

class MielEspritParcParser(EspritParcParser):
    label = "Miel Esprit Parc national"
    url = "https://gestion.espritparcnational.com/ws/?f=getProduitsSelonParc&codeParc=XXX&typologie=API"
    constant_fields = {
        'category': "GeotrekCategoryName",
        'published': True,
        'approved': True,
        'deleted': False,
    }
    m2m_constant_fields = {
        'type1': "GeotrekTypeName",
    }

URL to get Esprit parc types: https://gestion.espritparcnational.com/ws/?f=getTypologieProduits.

Sensitive areas import

When sensitive areas module is enabled, Geotrek provides 3 parsers to import data:

  • Import sensitive areas from http://biodiv-sports.fr (geotrek.sensitivity.parsers.BiodivParser). By default this parser imports all sensitive areas in configured spatial extent.

  • Import species sensitive areas from a ziped shapefile. Imported field names are: espece (required), contact and descriptio. Species with corresponding names have to be created manually before import.

  • Import regulatory sensitive areas from a ziped shapefile. Imported field names are: nom (required), contact, descriptio, periode (month numbers separated with comas), pratiques (separated with comas), and url. Practices with corresponding names have to be created manually before import.

You can start imports from “Import” menu or from command line. You can override them in your var/conf/parsers.py file.

Multiple imports

When you need to import data for the same object found in 2 different parsers, you can to force the aggregation of both values in many to many relationship case. It can be interesting with portals for example.

Param for the aggregation : m2m_aggregate_fields

Here is an example with 2 parsers :

class Portal_1Parser(XXXParser):
    portal = "portal_1"

class AggregateParser(XXXParser):
    portal = "portal_2"
    m2m_aggregate_fields = ["portal"]

Then, when you import the first parser Portal_1Parser, you get multiple objects with portal_1 as portal. If any object of the Portal_1Parser is also in AggregateParser, fields in m2m_aggregate_fields will have their values not be replaced but aggregated. Then your object in both portals will have as portal: portal_1, portal_2

  • Here in this example whenever you import the first parser Portal_1Parser, portals are replaced because m2m_aggregate_fields is not filled. Then, be careful to import parsers in the right order or add the param m2m_aggregate_fields on all parsers.

If you need to cancel the aggregation of portals, remove param m2m_aggregate_fields.

Importing from multiple sources with deletion

When importing data for the same model using two (or more) different sources, the provider field should be used to differenciate between sources, allowing to enable object deletion with delete = True without causing the last parser to delete objects created by preceeding parsers.

In the following example, Provider_1Parser and Provider_2Parser will each import their objects, set the provider field on these objects, and only delete objects that disappeared from their respective source since last parsing.

class Provider_1Parser(XXXXParser):
    delete = True
    provider = "provider_1"

class Provider_2Parser(XXXParser):
    delete = True
    provider = "provider_2"

Danger

It is recommended to use provider from the first import - Do not add a provider field to preexisting parsers that already imported objects, or you will have to manually set the same value for provider on all objects already created by this parser.

Danger

If a parser does not have a provider value, it will not take providers into account, meaning that it could delete objects from preceeding parsers even if these other parsers do have a provider themselves.

The following example would cause NoProviderParser to delete objects from Provider_2Parser and Provider_1Parser.

class Provider_1Parser(XXXXParser):
    delete = True
    provider = "provider_1"

class Provider_2Parser(XXXParser):
    delete = True
    provider = "provider_2"

class NoProviderParser(XXXParser):
    delete = True
    provider = None       (default)

Generic settings for your parser

This settings may be overriden when you define a new parser:

  • label parser display name (default: None)

  • model import content with this model (default: None)

  • filename file imported if no url (default: None)

  • url flow url imported from if no filename (default: None)

  • simplify_tolerance (default: 0) # meters

  • update_only don’t create new contents (default: False)

  • delete (default: False)

  • duplicate_eid_allowed if True, allows differents contents with same eid (default: False)

  • fill_empty_translated_fields if True, fills empty translated fields with same value (default: False)

  • warn_on_missing_fields (default: False)

  • warn_on_missing_objects (default: False)

  • separator (default: '+')

  • eid field name for eid (default: None)

  • provider (default: None)

  • fields (default: None)

  • m2m_fields (default: {})

  • constant_fields (default: {})

  • m2m_constant_fields (default: {})

  • m2m_aggregate_fields (default: [])

  • non_fields (default: {})

  • natural_keys (default: {})

  • field_options (default: {})

  • default_language use another default language for this parser (default: None)

Start import from command line

Just run:

sudo geotrek import HebergementParser

Change HebergementParser to match one of the class names in var/conf/parsers.py file. You can add -v2 parameter to make the command more verbose (show progress). Thank to cron utility you can configure automatic imports.

Start import from Geotrek-admin UI

Open the top right menu and clic on imports.

Import data from a remote Geotrek instance

Importing from a Geotrek instance works the same way as from SIT. A usecase for this is to aggregate data from several Geotrek-admin instance.

Danger

Importing data from a remote Geotrek instance does not work with dynamic segmentation, your instance where you import data must have dynamic segmentation disabled.

For example, to import treks from another instance, edit /opt/geotrek-admin/var/conf/parsers.py file with the following content:

class DemoGeotrekTrekParser(BaseGeotrekTrekParser):
    url = "https://remote-geotrek-admin.net"  # replace url with remote instance url
    delete = False
    field_options = {
        'difficulty': {'create': True, },
        'route': {'create': True, },
        'themes': {'create': True},
        'practice': {'create': True},
        'accessibilities': {'create': True},
        'networks': {'create': True},
        'geom': {'required': True},
        'labels': {'create': True},
    }

Then run in command line

sudo geotrek import DemoGeotrekTrekParser

Treks are now imported into your own instance.

Import other datas from a file

You can add parsers in your custom parsers.py file (/opt/geotrek-admin/var/conf/parsers.py) which will allow you to import data from files directly in your admin (superusers only). For example, some parsers are not available by default but you can use them adding some lines in your parsers file :

from geotrek.trekking.parsers import TrekParser # only without dynamic segmentation (`TREKKING_TOPOLOGY_ENABLED` = False)
from geotrek.trekking.parsers import POIParser

You can also use some of Geotrek commands to import data from a vector file handled by GDAL (https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.htm) (e.g.: ESRI Shapefile, GeoJSON, GeoPackage etc.)

Possible data are e.g.: POI, infrastructures, signages, cities, districts, restricted areas, dives, paths.

You must use these commands to import spatial data because of the dynamic segmentation, which will not be computed if you enter the data manually.

Here are the Geotrek commands available to import data from file:

  • loaddem

  • loadpoi

  • loaddive

  • loadinfrastructure

  • loadsignage

  • loadcities

  • loaddistricts

  • loadrestrictedareas

Usually, these commands come with ability to match file attributes to model fields.

Exploitation commands

Delete attachment from disk

When an attachment (eg. pictures) is removed, its file is not automatically removed from disk. You have to run sudo geotrek clean_attachments manually or in a cron to remove old files. After that, you should run sudo geotrek thumbnail_cleanup to remove old thumbnails.

Remove duplicate paths

Duplicate paths can appear while adding paths with commands or directly in the application. Duplicate paths can cause some problems of routing for topologies, it can generate corrupted topologies (that become MultiLineStrings instead of LineStrings).

You have to run sudo geotrek remove_duplicate_paths

During the process of the command, every topology on a duplicate path will be set on the original path, and the duplicate path will be deleted.

Unset structure on categories

Use this command if you wish to undo linking categories to structures for some models.

You have to run sudo geotrek unset_structure

usage: manage.py unset_structure [-h] [--all] [--list] [--version] [-v {0,1,2,3}] [--settings SETTINGS] [--pythonpath PYTHONPATH] [--traceback] [--no-color] [--force-color]
                             [--skip-checks]
                             [model [model ...]]

Unset structure in lists of choices and group choices with the same name.

positional arguments:
  model                 List of choices to manage

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --all                 Manage all models
  --list                Show available models to manage
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -v {0,1,2,3}, --verbosity {0,1,2,3}
                        Verbosity level; 0=minimal output, 1=normal output, 2=verbose output, 3=very verbose output
  --settings SETTINGS   The Python path to a settings module, e.g. "myproject.settings.main". If this isn't provided, the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable will be used.
  --pythonpath PYTHONPATH
                        A directory to add to the Python path, e.g. "/home/djangoprojects/myproject".
  --traceback           Raise on CommandError exceptions
  --no-color            Don't colorize the command output.
  --force-color         Force colorization of the command output.
  --skip-checks         Skip system checks.

Danger

You can’t chose for each choice which set of category you want to unset structures, it will happen for all categories

Firstly, if a categroy is linked to a structure, it creates the same category but with no structure associated. Secondly, every element with this old category gets assigned to this new category. Finally all old categories are removed.

Reorder topologies

All topologies have information about which path they go through on and in which order. Actually, when a path is split in 2 by another path, a new path is added to the database. We need to add information for all topologies that need to go through this new path. This is badly managed at the moment, especially for the order of passage of the paths. sudo geotrek reorder_topologies

It removes a lot of useless information which can accelerate the process of editing topologies afterward.

During the process of this command, it tries to find a good order of passage on the paths which creates only one Linestring from start to end. It stays as close as possible to the corrupted order. This command uses the same algorithm to generate one Linestring when the order is not well managed during topologies’ display.

Danger

It can happens that this algorithm can’t find any solution and will genereate a MultiLineString. This will be displayed at the end of the reorder

Automatic commands

You can set up automatic commands by creating a cron file under /etc/cron.d/geotrek_command that contains:

0 3 * * * root /usr/sbin/geotrek <command> <options>

example :

0 4 * * * root /usr/sbin/geotrek reorder_topologies

This example will automatically reorder topologies at 4 am every day.
