In order to create databases from the OpenERP client, you have to create a PostGis database template. Under windows, this template is already available in installer.
On other *NIX, system you simply have to launch the create_postgis_template.sh script available in the base_geoengine module in the scripts folder. This should be done by a PostgreSQL superuser.
In order to test the success:
psql -l
template_postgis | owner | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |
If you want to install GeoEngine on an exisiting database, please refer to the Postgisify section.
Add the template as an argument to OpenERP server:
--db-template=template_postgis
or in config file:
db_template = template_postgis
Do not forget to add the GeoEngine modules to your addons path.
Then install (eventually update module list) the base GeoEngine module form the OpenERP client.
