File tree

On the server, always in the qgis, we are going to create directories which will be a Lizmap theme.

Then, in your Lizmap panel administration, you need to add the directory.

For instance :

/
├── qgis
│   ├── forest
│   │   ├── jungle.qgs
│   │   ├── jungle.qgs.cfg
│   │   └── media
│   │       └── logo.png
│   ├── social
│   └── urban
│       ├── populated_places.qgs
│       ├── populated_places.qgs.cfg
│       ├── urban_project.qgs
