Geographic databrowse shows no map

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I appear to have geographic_admin up and running, and I can see the maps
rendering in the admin interface.

But I have no map in databrowse.  "World Borders" shows all the attributes
for a country, but the "Select Feature to See Geometry" listbox is empty,
and there is no map to the right of this control like there is in the
screenshots.

Any suggestions on how I can debug this?  The respective versions of
geographic_admin and django are shown below.

arcato.us,

Glad you've got the admin maps working. For the databrowse maps to work you 
must maintain the name `geometry` for your !GeoDjango field in the 
admin.

If you have not changed the name of this field in your models, then the next 
step to debug would be to load up firebug in mozilla firefox 2 or 3 and 
check for javascript errors.

I'd happily accept patches for the field name issue, as this geodatabrowse app 
should ideally provide the flexibly to change the !GeoDjango field.

Strange, I tried again and saw the map once or twice -- seemingly on the first
invocation, but that behavior wasn't consistent.

I haven't changed the geometry column, and Firebug shows no errors.  Behavior 
is the
same on both Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer...

Arcatos.us,

You 'saw the map'? That is pretty odd that it could appear unpredicatably and 
you would still not see javascript errors.  You must be changing some of your 
settings.

Really, I can imagine only two main things could be going on:

1) the custom templates for the databrowse are not being found and loaded so 
that only the WKT of the geometry field is being displayed and therefore NO 
javascript is being called. 
This will be obvious because the site name will not say `Geographic 
Databrowse`. You need to make sure that these templates are being loaded: 
http://geodjango-basic-
apps.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/projects/geographic_admin/templates/databrowse/

2) The custom templates are found and there are javascript errors you should be 
able to see in firebug that will point to the syntax problem or some other 
loading problem which is 
preventing the OpenLayer js to be called as well as the custom js in: 
http://geodjango-basic-
apps.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/projects/geographic_admin/templates/databrowse/obj
ect_detail.html

Arcatos,

I'd like to resolve this issue. Any progress on figuring out what's wrong with 
your installation?

Closing this since it seemed like an isolated, non-replicable issue
