CKAN: Ticket Query

#1535: Plump for auth header of: X-CKAN-API-KEY

dread — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 17:31:22 GMT

When using the API, the apikey needs to be supplied in a header called 'Authorization'. Because some proxys / deployments use this header for other things, a configurable header was provided as an alternative, with default "X-CKAN-API-KEY".

Rufus suggests having *one* way for this. a) making this not configurable any more b) making X-CKAN-API-KEY the default

(keep Authorization allowed, but not documented, for backwards compatibility)

#1581: Blog post about Google Analytics extension for CKAN

johnglover — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 17:40:00 GMT

The CKAN Google Analytics extension has been updated to work with the latest version of CKAN, could make for a nice blog post.

Can ping John Glover in January for any details required.

Key link is: http://thedatahub.org/analytics/dataset/top though this should probably move to be under stats (e.g. http://thedatahub.org/stats/usage)

#1596: Refactor authz roles

dread — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 10:31:28 GMT

Suggestions from rgrp:

Get rid of Roles, and replace them with direct assignment of actions, even though there are many actions, and extensions can add arbitrary ones.
Debatable whether we should cut the number of actions to correspond to the three roles defined by the base system.
Have a method of finding roles (or, in future, actions) relevant to a given protection object (e.g. FILE-UPLOAD(ER) not relevant to Packages)

(This ticket is split off from #1065)

#2277: Use the new atom feeds in IATI

icmurray — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 17:10:28 GMT

Atom feeds have been implemented in core in #1593. The IATI-specific implementation can now be removed when IATI move to CKAN >= 1.6.1

#2543: facet.sort is not available in the package_search action

icmurray — Mon, 18 Jun 2012 09:55:35 GMT

Not all solr facet parameters are available through the pcakage_search action. In particular, facet.sort has been asked for; but this ticket should check to see if there are other parameters that would be easy to add too.

See: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters#facet.sort

#2573: package_search does not allow solr's per-field facet parameters

icmurray — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 13:27:19 GMT

Solr allows its facet parameters to be specified on a per-field basis, eg. facet.limit applies to all facet fields, but solr allows it to be overriden for a specific field, eg. facet.tags.limit.

We don't support this at the moment because we have a whitelist of valid solr query parameters that we accept. See ckan.lib.search.query.VALID_SOLR_PARAMETERS.

#2405: Improvements to data viewer embed

rgrp — Mon, 21 May 2012 06:59:25 GMT

Decent powered by icon for the Embed for the DataHub?? (make this text customizable and allow html ...)
- Current icon and text looks really bad
Embed link uses uuid rather than dataset name (this goes to perma-url question ...)
Data viewer embed url includes all the resource info (not needed -- just url and backend info ...)
Embed extension urls do not respect original domain but instead use site_url (I'm guessing). E.g. datahub.io domain ends up with links to embed on thedatahub.org

#2412: More than one resource invalidatiing breaks dataset edit form

icmurray — Tue, 22 May 2012 20:05:48 GMT

When attempting to add more than one resource at once, if more than one resource invalidates, this results in a js error, leaving the form in an inconsistent state.

Repro:

Go to /dataset/new
Add a new resource. Fill in one of the fields with an invalid value. eg - last_modified, or size...
Add another resource, doing the same thing: make one of the fields invalid.
Try to save the dataset.
The entered resource information will be lost, and a js error "Uncaught Error: Can't add the same model to a set twice,: backbone.js:586" will be thrown.
