Hello,
We're using ODK Aggregate using the VM developed by Nafundi. It's working fine, but we're encountering an issue that the links to images attached to forms don't work when the submissions are exported as KMZ. Instead of the VM IP address location, the kml file contains links with a domain: http://aggregate.defaultdomain
The same concern was posted here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/geoodk-community/x1XSKqVUUR4
But I could not find a solution within the threads of this group.
Can anybody assist?
Thanks,
Rudo
Forgot to mention that we're currently running a VM with ODK Aggregate version 1.4.7; I don't know if the later versions address this issue, although I don't see it mentioned in the release notes.
Hi Rudo,
I can confirm that this is an issue on the VM.
You'll see the problem with the exports and publishers because the
images are hosted on the VM itself. And since the VM has a dynamic IP,
and can be moved around, those URLs will rarely work.
Your best bet is to use Briefcase to pull all the data and the
multimedia from the VM to your local machine, export to CSV, and use
GeoODK's Mobile Data Conversion Kit (http://geoodk.com/mdk_howto.php)
to make the KML.
Alternatively, once the data is in Briefcase, you can grab the images,
put them on some public host (e.g., Dropbox) and rewrite the URLs in
the KML you get from the VM.
Thanks, and let me know how it goes!
Yaw

Thanks Yaw. In our case, the VM is set up to function pretty much permanently with a static IP generated within our LAN. Is there a way to hard code the IP address somewhere in the ODK Aggregate code?
Depends upon how you are directing traffic to it.
The configuration is described here:
You would need to set the
security.server.hostname
and the ports so that they are appropriate for your server.
This will require some experimentation.

Thank you Mitch. Where can I find the relevant Aggregate files on the ODK-Aggregate VM server? I can't find any of those files in the Linux file tree.
The ODK Aggregate website files will be in the Tomcat server's webapps
directory. Not sure where that is on this VM -- perhaps under /www If you
search for ODKAggregate-settings.jar on the VM, it should have only one
match.

It should be in
/var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/ROOT.war/WEB-INF/lib/ODKAggregate-settings.jar/security.properties
The right way to do it is to stop Tomcat, then start from the ROOT.war
file, unzip that, then unzip WEB-INF/lib/ODKAggregate-settings.jar to
get to the security properties file. Then edit that properties file,
rezip the jar and the war.
If you can wait a few days, I'll write a script that can do it. I have
it already, but I need to test it to make sure it works well.

That would be fantastic, Yaw! Thanks for your assistance.
Seems like everything is resolved, but just wanted to let you know that
there is also a online converter for geopoint,geoshape and geotrace here.
You might find useful
http://geoodk.com/xlsform_converter.php#xlsgeoconverter
Github code if you want on you own server.
Best,
Jon

Hi folks,
I've put the script that updates the war hostname at
https://gist.github.com/yanokwa/1585d7f79b2af06b702505f606cbd362
It's tested on my systems, and worked for Rudo, but nothing is
bug-free. Please make sure no one is submitting data, then take a
snapshot or backup of the VM before you run this.
You have to get this script inside the VM, and then run it like so:
$ chmod +x ./update-war-hostname.sh
$ ./update-war-hostname.sh your_static_ip
The script stops Tomcat, makes a backup of the ROOT.war, patches it to
have your new hostname, then restarts Tomcat.
If you get infinite redirects in Aggregate after you run the script,
try opening an incognito/private mode window on your browser (or try a
new browser) and see if that works.
