Recording from the workshop "Make an Open-Source Web Map with QGIS" by Dr. Becky Seifried, Geospatial Information Librarian, UMass Amherst Libraries.

Thank you so much. Very useful presentation. Because of you, I published my first webmap.

[metarovers]

Ma'am Rebecca, I truly admire your teaching style and the way you explain everything in great detail. Your efforts are highly appreciated.

[ados]

One of the best workshops I've watched recently. Thank you, also on behalf of my students.

[Archiblog]

Thanks, Becky - especially for 'Publishing the map in GitHub'.

[manix]

I followed each step and finished my first successful web map with my own data that I collected. Thank you so much!

[martontapas]

That was very detailed and exactly what i was looking for. Thank you so much

[GeoXY]

Thanks Rebecca for the informative tutorial!

[rmuser]

Great workshop, very clear, thank you so much Rebecca

[tomchadwin]

What a great qgis2web tutorial. Thanks so much for all the work in putting it together and sharing it! I'm sorry about the attribute filters not picking up the layer names properly - that is a bug. And I'd love to know why popups weren't working when you initially chose OpenLayers as your export format. They should work! But again, thanks!

[tapankumar]

Thank you Rebecca. Its a nice work shop. my concern is how to filter attributes in a dropdown.

[lFoRGoTl]

Thanks Rebecca it is a great tutorial video :)

Thanks, Rebecca Seifried, I subscribed to your channel, Well done.

GREAT VIDEO!
You've probably already covered this in previous videos but I'd just like to add that I found out the hard way that when you duplicate or copy a layer, it uses the same underlying data as the original layer you copied from. This means that any changes or "edits" you make to the newly copied/ duplicated layer will also be made to the original. Also, never have two maps open in separate instances of QGIS that are editing the same data set. BIG mistake. (I can laugh now)

Great Becky, thanks for the knowledge shared. pls what's the best methods/apps to use in developing a GIS web based land information system (LIS)

[antoniepeens]

Thank you so very much for this. Definitely learned a few new things I have not noticed before. One question, is there any way to make the legend collapsible to hide the symbology? If the symbology that is applied has a large variation, it leads to having to scroll to turn layers on and off. Any idea on how to achieve this perhaps?

[Thomas-be]

Rebecca, thank you very much! your video is realy well done, clear and complet!
I had develop my own webmap but I have some dificulty:
- With just some datas, I can charge the update preview easily. But when I use more layers, it's difficult/impossible to download the preview and so to export... Do you know if there is a way to make it easier for the software?
- In the legend, I have some layers with a lot of informations, but they contaminate the legend. Do you know if it's possible to manage the legend and take off some informations? I saw that I can delete the color information in my source document, in "legend", but not the wrote informations.
Thanks again! Have a great day.
Thomas

Hello, I watched your video. I wanted to learn it a lot of time. Now, thank you for preparing and sharing it in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. What I want to ask you next is that I wanted to publish my web map, but the institution I work is wants the shapefiles to be protected, and what method should I use?

please accept my request on linkdin

[adebayooluwatosin]

Great work, please what's the source of the sunlight data.

[Nat-mvos]

Thank you for the video. Is it possible to make a web map with time-series data?

[christianalvarez]

Great video, right now I'm having a bad time trying to figure out how to add a legend for a raster for this webmap. It's actually a simple idea, my raster has 8 categories, but I can't find how to show those categories on a legend in the webmap... do you know how could I do that? Thank you!
