Issue Summary
Has anyone taken a stab at writing some some introductory documentation for this yet? I'm not really sure where to even start with it. I want to get the data from this page onto a map sing OpenLayers:

Got a little ways with it and ten got stuck. Wen trying to upoad the attached data, I get the error "Shapefile: this shapefile should only contain a single row." That doesn't make any sense to me since this shapefile should obviously represent multiple bike parking spots (of two different types).

Ah, you should set your field to be able to take unlimited values.

I am having some trouble getting my spatial data to show up as an available layer in openlayers, I think that's what's supposed to happen, I may be wrong though.
I uploaded my shape file with geo, it's in my database, then I went to Spatial Table Layers and created the new layer from my table.
What's the next step? It's not showing up in my available layers in the openlayers map presets.
Is there a list of steps I can follow?
Thanks for all the work on this!

Were you able to see your spatial table layer in the openlayers available layers list or were
other steps necessary ?
I am also stuck at the same stage - i do not know what do do beyond post #3
thank you

I think I gave up on trying to use the shapefile directly after getting stuck and found some free software that would convert shapefile to kml then used the kml in openlayers to display the information.
