Hi Walter,

I think Seth's WMS plugin should work to add both baselayers or overlays. If there are issues there I can help try and debug them.

I also wrote this plugin a while back as an example for adding WMS baselayers: https://github.com/rjmackay/Ushahidi-plugin-metacarta
This mostly works with the map helper code to set the WMS parameters and lets the helper build the JS calls automatically.
However that is strictly baselayers only at the moment, and I haven't tested extensively either.

I'm happy to work with you on testing this out. It would be great to work out any issues with WMS and then document this on the wiki for others.

Robbie.

Walter has a question related to this
"Can someone tell me where I would need to touch if I want to add my own wms layers in ushahidi? Im good with opelayers but dont know if I can add the wms in the traditional way or I'll need to consider other things.
I know about the wms addon, I cant make it work yet, but I dont think it would be the solution neither. We want to keep the google layer and put wms and kmls on top"


Pitch in?

Hi All,

WMS support has been a requested feature for a while, and a few people have hacked various ways to get it in (Robert Buckley, Luis Hernando Aguilar, Seth Kigen)
I improved the mapping helper a while back to make it easier for plugins to add WMS base layers. However I'm keen to get support for overlays into core and maybe make adding baselayers even easier.
Who else has worked on WMS layers? Has anyone got examples of working WMS overlays?
Has anyone checked the WMS baselayer support works? Robert Buckley did suggest something wasn't quite right, and my GIS knowledge isn't good enough to be sure I didn't mess something up.

Any help/experience anyone can share here would be great.
