Show multiple shapefiles in a zipfile #461

Closed kkaefer closed 7 years ago

kkaefer commented 13 years ago

Currently we only show one/the first shapefile. That makes using shapefile zips from cloudmade a bit of a pain.

This sounds like the ability to use a ZIP as a generic library source.

node-zipfile, used in tilemill, will report whatever is inside a zip archive. So I think the issue is in carto External which simply takes the first .shp encountered.

$ wget http://downloads.cloudmade.com/oceania/australia_and_new_zealand/new_zealand/new_zealand.shapefiles.zip
$ node
> var z = require('zipfile')
> var zf = new z.ZipFile('./new_zealand.shapefiles.zip')
> zf
