CKAN: Ticket Query

#2298: Add sort-by controls to the search results page

icmurray — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 09:39:22 GMT

Sort-by functionality was exposed through the package controller in [1]. But no controls were added to the search-page.

What should the sortBy controls/widget look like?
Which fields should be exposed?

The above commit is in the release-1.6.1 branch, so this work is dependant upon release-1.6.1 from being merged into master.

#2310: Refactor the search-query construction in feeds.py

icmurray — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 16:01:31 GMT

The feeds controller, used to construct atom feeds, duplicates code found in the package controller's search action (in order to construct the custom feed).

Refactor this to remove duplication.

#2350: Hooks in package controller for validating form data

icmurray — Tue, 01 May 2012 14:16:01 GMT

When the validation schema was moved from the package controller into the logic layer, the schema's role was changed from that of processing a form and validating data; to just validating data. Whilst is makes sense to have a schema for validating data as it comes in and leaves the logic layer; there's no longer the hook available to PackageController? subclasses to do form validation/processing.

Add a hook into _save_new() and save_edit() prior to the logic-layer call which subclasses can then override.

NB - form processing/validation *is* different to validating data. For example, many data can be inferred from a user's input; or there may be aspects of the form that need to be filled in, but do not make sense to pass as data into the logic-layer, eg. agreeing to T&Cs.

#2203: Data Viewer support for PDF

rgrp — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 11:24:53 GMT

Boot viewer for format/mimetype: application/pdf, application/x-pdf, application/acrobat, applications/vnd.pdf, text/pdf, text/x-pdf
propose we use pdf.js - https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js
We could also try iframing for browsers with native support but this seems more complex

#2200: Add vocabulary_id option to tag_show() logic action function

seanh — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 16:41:18 GMT

Currently tag_show() only works with free tags, it's not possible to get a tag_show for a vocabulary tag.

#1507: Minor fixes to dataset add on Group edit form - 0.5d

rgrp — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 12:33:49 GMT

Group edit dataset add form needs some work

Dataset name is not cleared when you add
No way to remove item from list of datasets to be added if I make a mistake
(2nd Apr 2012) It now seems that option to add multiple datasets at once has disappeared (perhaps during the CSS/HTML refactor ...)
