Dear list,
I've just subscribed to this mailing list with need to ask somebody for an advice. I've been working with Drupal since 1 month in order to create sort of metadata (MD) editor for my stakeholders and have encountered one problem, which I could not solve so far using web resources searching. One part of the MD editor - Drupal form has to provide to the metadata producer a field to define Geographic Bounding Box definition by drawing such a box on the map and fill 4 bounds fields (North, East, South and West). An example of such a functionality is shown in figure below (INSPIRE Geoportal):
I am using Drupal version 6, and found similar functionality in the taxonomy terms definition, where within the particular term definition one might define also its geographical bounds as is shown in figure below:
My question is whether I can implement such a function inside the form, to get bounds to similar fields as above. This has to be done by user who is describing his dataset?
I found also module, which might solve this problem for me most probably (GeoField - http://drupal.org/project/geofield), however it's implementation only for Drupal 7. And actually I'm not sure whether even this module might fulfil my requirements.
Many thanks in advance to anybody who might give my any feedbacks, recommendations, hints ...
I wish you nice week,
Tomas
