We should support uploading QGIS qlr (layer) files #82

Open timlinux opened 8 years ago

timlinux commented 8 years ago

A qlr file encapsulates both datasource and style of a datasource. If we support uploading a qlr (along with XML metadata) we can probably easily allow users to create cascading WMS and other service based layers....

Support for uploading QGIS layer files so that we can reference remote data sources. QGIS Layer files are small metadata files that make the sharing of remote data sources such as database connections and OGC service layers simple. By uploading a QGIS Layer file, we can provide a simple mechanism for the user to add a cascaded WMS proxy to the GeoNode layers list.

Note: This depends on GeoNode supporting remote (cascading) services, which it has done 2.6? GeoNode only supports local layers so this task remains on hold

@NyakudyaA please confirm that this will work (i.e. describe with some screenshots what happens when you add a remote WMS layer in geonode 2.6 (or 2.7).
