#1166: Less stringent filters for displaying the WMS preview

amercader — Thu, 26 May 2011 15:10:46 GMT

Right now, for the "View available WMS layers" link to be displayed, the package needs to have an "INSPIRE=True" extra, a "resource-type=service" extra and a resource of type "WMS".

This is due to DGU (the project this was developed for) related reasons, but for a generic support, the resource type should probably be enough.

(The repository for this is ckanext-spatial, but it's not on the list)

#1264: Merge ckanext-admin into core

rgrp — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:59:43 GMT

This extension should be in core now -- functionality is basic and very useful.

Copy across from here: http://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckanext-admin

Suggest this no longer even be an extension.

#1268: Speed up listing users by revisions by adding db index

rgrp — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 16:16:32 GMT

At the moment this appears to be slow (kindly suggests because missing index in db). Page is /user on a ckan instance.

Would this also speed up user page where we recent changes?

#1272: Store spatial extents provided in the package form

amercader — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 12:36:27 GMT

Consolidate the extra spatial as the field for providing information about the geographic extent of the package. This will integrate automatically with the spatial search and give developers a single point to develop geospatial features.

#1320: Extend basic markdown to support normal http / https links

rgrp — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 19:00:00 GMT

It is very annoying that you have to wrap links in <...> and most people don't bother. Extend h.markdown in code and markdown in js to fix this.

(We should also support 'package' links etc in javascript?)

*ADDITIONAL*

Note that CKAN flavoured markdown will not currently recognise dataset:my_data links (still uses package).
Move the markdown api to /util/markdown

#1344: datetime error json conversion on search

kindly — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 17:09:55 GMT

Json decoding error on search, due to date in resources.

#1356: Can not recreate a deleted extra

amercader — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 10:49:40 GMT

If you delete an extra and later on change your mind, you can not recreate it with the same value (Different value works fine).

#1357: Integrate new version of data preview

rgrp — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 22:27:24 GMT

We have an all new and much improved data preview system developed as part of QA in July. Need to integrate this.

Is pure javascript
Will have this in CKAN core but considered to be a plugin (so need datapreview in ckan.plugins list to work -- will enable this by default)
Will depend on the http://wiki.ckan.org/DataExplorer

#1363: Add task_status table to store qa/archiever/webstore information that does not need to be versioned.

kindly — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 14:20:17 GMT

table: task_status
id
entity_id
entity_type
task_type
key
value
last_updated
state
unique(entity_id, task_type, key)
example keys:
last_task_id

#1364: If package in index that is not in ckan error is caused.

kindly — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 15:03:26 GMT

We should ignore these but log the packages that are causing this to investigate.

#1369: Remove showdown.js from the page download

zephod — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 14:21:56 GMT

ckan.js can be rearchitected to avoid instantiating showdown.js in the root namespace. That way, layout_base.html doesn't need to import the script (because we don't use the showdown-dependant parts of ckan.js).

#1371: Make logic layer functions for working with task_status table

johnglover — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 09:59:36 GMT

The background tasks will use the logic API to access the task_status table so new logic layer functions are needed.

#1375: Define new package id before sending it to the IPackageController plugins

amercader — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 14:14:01 GMT

When creating a package, the package_create logic function sends the newly created package object to all plugins implementing the IPackageController interface

https://bitbucket.org/okfn/ckan/src/93194933ea75/ckan/logic/action/create.py#cl-64

At this point, the changes have not yet been commited and the id of the package is not set (It has a default value of make_uuid, which is set when commited). For this reason, plugins have no way of knowing the package id. E.g. the spatial query plugin needs to know this id to link the package extent to the actual package.

One possible solution would be to set the package id in the data dict received by package_create (if it's not defined):

from ckan.model.types import make_uuid
if not 'id' in data or not data['id']:
   data['id'] = make_uuid()

#1376: 404 raised when approving package

kindly — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 15:43:09 GMT

Regression found by updating datacatalogs.

#1342: Home controller does not capture SearchError exceptions

amercader — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 11:53:47 GMT

If there is a problem with the SOLR connection,the home page just shows a 500 Server error, instead of a notice (the package controller shows a notice when visiting http://localhost:5000/dataset).

Steps to reproduce:

Change the solr_url parameter in the ini file to something non-existant
Visit http://localhost:5000

#1362: Clearing the database should also clear the search index

johnglover — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:11:01 GMT

When paster db clean is run, the search index should also be cleared.

#1377: Ckan admin repair

zephod — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 09:46:58 GMT

Integrating ckanext-admin into core has thrown up a number of problems:

Look & feel does not match the rest of the site
Tests are not passing
On the trash page, clicking 'undelete' triggers a purge
Using the purge functionality is dangerous; deleting and purging the latest revision will corrupt a dataset (& several corrupt datasets have been found on thedatahub.org)
Trash page can contain nested form tags in certain cases (breaking test harness & form redirection)
