Info:

A QGIS plugin for editing a Shogun GIS client instance. See https://github.com/terrestris/shogun2
--Link will be replaced when Shogun2-webapp will be released--
After connecting with the Shogun ressource (note: that ressource needs to have basic authentication possibility),
the user can edit applications and layers on the Shogun server, in interaction with the QGIS interface.


Features:

• Add layers from Shogun to QGIS (as WFS, WMS or raw data)
• Upload new layers (vector and raster format) from QGIS to the Shogun server
• Upload layer style (vector layers only) from QGIS and apply to the layers in Shogun -> most basic styling is implemented, also the upload of custom symbols for point layers
• Edit static data like names, descriptions, ...
• Create new Shogun applications
• Set applications homeview directly from the QGIS interface

Installation

You can install the plugin via the QGIS plugin repository or manually. Manually installing: Copy the shogun-editor directory to your qgis plugins directory which you should find at:

• QGIS 2.x:
  usually in your home directory you find: .qgis2/python/plugins/ - if you need more details see this link (chapter "The Copy Method")
  
• QGIS 3.x:
  To find the plugins folder, open up QGIS, in the menu go to Settings->User Profiles -> Open active profile folder
  In the file explorer, go to python/plugins/ and paste the folder there

After copying just open up QGIS, activate the plugin in the plugin manager and you are done

Important notes & missing features

• The plugin works with QGIS 2.x and 3.x, but currently there is a problem with adding wfs layers to QGIS ins 3.x, which has to be resolved
• As already mentioned, the plugin works with basic authentication requests and therefore can only be used with Shogun2-Webapp installations which support basic authentication
• Layer styles based on custom icons in Shogun currently cannot be imported to QGIS, but styles with custom icons created in QGIS can be uploaded to Shogun
• Layer styles based on font symbols are currently not supported by the plugin
