Does anyone know how to get the QGIS Web Client measure tool to show units in feet and miles?

Question

Does anyone know how to change the QGIS Web Client measure tool (distance and area) so that it shows feet or miles rather than meters?

Answer 1

you have to change some code in qgis-web-client / site / js / WebgisInit.js you can add unit parameter to OpenLayers.Control.Measure method. you have to do this for polygon too...

measureControls = {
    line: new OpenLayers.Control.Measure(
      OpenLayers.Handler.Path, {
        persist: true,
        units:'ft',
        handlerOptions: {
          layerOptions: {styleMap: styleMapMeasureControls}
        }
      }
    )

other units are ‘degrees’ (or ‘dd’), ‘m’, ‘ft’, ‘km’, ‘mi’, ‘inches’..

i hope it helps you....
